pvrx2 -fse - problem returning from S3 sleep on Vista 32-bit

[andydrew]

When I return from S3 sleep on Vista 32-bit, the pvrx2.exe application is running on the task bar but does not maximize.

I have the delayedstart.exe file in my gbpvr folder. release 1.0.16. Here is the portion of the pvrx2.exe-native.log file after the return from sleep. I can upload other logs if necessary...

Reproduce the problem then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

the other symptoms are that I can't click anything on the task bar or launch the start menu when I return from sleep. Sometimes, if I press ctrl-alt-del and bring up the task manager, pvrx2 will recover, sometimes it disappears (but is still running under processes. In the case of this time, it came back on the screen. Here are logs.

This does not happen if I don't use -fse mode. But if I don't there is some jitter/delay when playing back recorded content or watching live tv (digital).

I am also having issues with the application crashing
more logs attached.

What did the crash say, and what were you doing at the time?

You seem to be having the same problem that one other user reported where the app is not given the focus (via WM_ACTIVATEAPP message) after returning from standby, so the app doesnt do its auto restart. I'm not sure why this would happen, but I've already told the other guy I'll look into it once I'm back in New Zealand.

Yes that was me and thanks sub! When are you back btw?

The crashes are being logged in the Windows Event Viewer under event 1000. The are occuring when watching Live TV or a recorded show. Need to gather more details.

On the issue of resuming from standby, for now I am closing pvrx2 after watching TV and sleeping the PC. Issue is that I have to relaunch it with the keyboard after resuming since I don't want to clutter up the PC with additional remote software. I am using a MCE 2005 remote and the stock functionality is good enough.
