[WINDOWS] XBMC on iMON Display (LCD / VFD) for Windows

Deafty · 2012-03-17 18:35

Hiya,.

Working well but thought I'd point out that unless I restart the programme after every change It will function abnormally.

Cheers for all the hard work.

Can someone point me in the right direction to enable the time? I got lost in the thread and cant find it. Thanks guys.

BlackMan: When the program starts automatically on system start, I have the same problem as Gibxxi. When I run the program manually everything is ok.

The latest version of the program for me is running "sweet as" for the last day or so (No problems what so ever)
Just a suggestion - Have you guys turned off the debug.log function in the settings? because I had that the same problem as you in 0.1.9.4X3
but not in 0.1.9.4x4 and the only difference that I have is I turned of debug.log

Debug logging is not enabled in my copy.. Besides, the error does not refer to the debug log but the normal program log.

Upgraded by stopping, and exiting the program, then copying the new files over the old and starting the new copy direct from it's program folder for the first run.

I think I spoke too soon, I now get the same message where it's trying to write xbmc-on-imon.log to system32

As an addendum, i've had XBMC crash a couple of times and needed to restart (not related to xbmc-on-imon), but once XBMC is restarted and xbmc-on-imon takes control of the LCD display, the only things displayed are the top and bottom borders. There is no disc icon, and the speaker setup icons do not display... Until something is played, then functionality returns to normal.

[EDIT:] The above issue also happens with a normal exit & restart of XBMC. Just did a test to make sure.

Also having issues with display status not keeping up with XBMC in PVR when titles are fast-forwarded / played etc (margro-pvr-rc2 / 4therecord plugin). I suspect to diagnose these issues, a debug log will be required, so for the moment this isn't a urgent issue. Just a heads-up.

Second that,. I'm running identical setup.

Well, maybe the new logging procedures are doing something wrong. It's true that I did not test this kind of starting as it needs the PC to be restarted. However, I will for sure take a look at it. Just a note: now, there is only one log file, regardless of using detailed logging or not. Only the amount of information is affected.

I will check these issues too but a detailed debug log would be useful for the second one.

will enable it once we get over the current issues and check out what's going on and send / post a debug log.
