MyMusic logging errors on init

[reven]

the only difference in the my pictures plugin is
Working

Code:

<CopiedImagesDirectory>C:\GBPVRDirs\MyPictures_CopiedImages\</CopiedImagesDirectory>

Not Working

Code:

<CopiedImagesDirectory>C:\GBPVRDirs\MyPictures_CopiedPictures\</CopiedImagesDirectory>

the onscreenkeyboard.xml file is in the latest mypictures.zip file in the wiki (i think it was missing from earlier versions).

the onscreenkeyboard.xml file is in the latest mypictures.zip file in the wiki (i think it was missing from earlier versions)

Sorry to be a bug, but onscreenkeyboard.xml is nowhere to be found in either any of the MyPictures, MyMusic or MyVideo ZIP files contained in the wiki.

[reven]

huh, i thought it was there....

heres the one im using, you could probably just copy any of those .xml files in that directory and then rename the copy to "onscreenkeyboard.xml" and it would work. i never finished implementing the keymappings for the onscreenkeyboard....

[TuckerTFT]

Thanks ... a couple of things, the OnScreenKeyboard file that was included in the ZIP you attached did not have any file extension. When I gave it an XML extension and opened it in my editor it was clearly not an XML format, but rather a binary file.

I tried using it any way (deposited it with the .XML extension into the gbpvr folder), and now this is the error text that appears in the log, (and my pictures does not show up in gbpvr at all ... needless to say, I'm backing the file out again):

Never mind the last message, I realized that the onscreenkeyboard file (with no file extension) that was included in the ZIP file you attached in your last post was actually also a ZIP file, but missing the extension.

I put the ZIP extension on the file and then extracted the true XML file. Kind of a strange way of packing files, don't you think.

In any event, I just downloaded your MyPictures BETA from another post. I'm finding that it is much more stable (MyPictures and MyMusic) have been crashing the "GB-PVR MediaMVP Server" quite often, especially if I do not wait at least 2 - 3 seconds while scrolling through items on the screen.

Since you don't own an MVP, I'm wondering if there is a trusted "coder" colleague among the gbpvr community who has an MVP and with whom you share your source code in the hopes of debugging and potentially repairing the source of these crashes.

This is the typical error dump that is logged when the crash occurs:

Also, I don't know if you were already aware of this, but in GBPVR 95.14 (the current maint release) MyPictures is generating errors in the log every time it renders a new photo on the screen. This is happening in both the production release and the BETA. Here is what a representative log segment looks like:

BTW, what I am very pleased to report about the MyPictures BETA is that it now plays RANDOM slide shows without hesitation on the PC instance of GBPVR, wheras the non-BETA version stopped quite often and needed a push (using next picture key buttons). Even on the MVP the pictures will render as opposed to presenting a blank screen, but, sad to say, they still need a push from one pic to the next.

Just thought you might be interested. Of course, I have a selfish motive. Your's is the only picture player plugin available for gbpvr, and I downloaded and installed GBPVR exclusively to be a replacement for the limited Hauppauge software that comes with the MVP. I really want to be able to have the picture player functionality, so I want you to get it to work pefectly

Also, as regards MyMusic, it is the best in terms of its design and functionality. If it could just be tweaked along with MyPictures to stop the crash events on the "to quick to scroll" phenomena on the MVP.

Thanks for listening ... and, thanks for all of your great work !!!

Since you don't own an MVP, I'm wondering if there is a trusted "coder" colleague among the gbpvr community who has an MVP and with whom you share your source code in the hopes of debugging and potentially repairing the source of these crashes.

nah im not a big fan of sharing source code (well complete source code, i dont mind sharing parts).

the "The object is currently in use elsewhere." probably isnt from my pictures, ive locked most things when using threads, and all drawing is actually done in the main thread (this use to be a common problem in mypics 2), so theres no reason (that i know of) for my pics 3 to generate this error. however i have seen this error but it was caused by gbpvr and not my pics.

In any event, I just downloaded your MyPictures BETA from another post. I'm finding that it is much more stable (MyPictures and MyMusic) have been crashing the "GB-PVR MediaMVP Server" quite often, especially if I do not wait at least 2 - 3 seconds while scrolling through items on the screen.

is this crashing in the beta version of my pics aswell (i completely forgot i had another beta version of my pics....)

Also, as regards MyMusic, it is the best in terms of its design and functionality. If it could just be tweaked along with MyPictures to stop the crash events on the "to quick to scroll" phenomena on the MVP.

and yeah its hard to bug test/fix problems for a device i have no access to

[TuckerTFT]

is this crashing in the beta version of my pics as well (i completely forgot i had another beta version of my pics....)

MyPictures hasn't crashed the GB-PVR MediaMVP Server when used on its own since I downloaded and installed 3[1].0.1Beta. It used to crash in the non-Beta version 3.

However, when MyMusic is actively playing tunes, no matter where I am in the GB-PVR menu system if I hold down any of the up, down, right or left arrow keys on the MediaMVP remote (so that I can get a faster scroll through the items on the screen), OR even if I press one of the keys in succession without waiting at least 2 or 3 seconds between presses it will cause the GB-PVR MediaMVP Server to crash, sometime irrecoverably and other times simply causing the MediaMVP to drop the connection (due to a timeout) and then re-connect.

I can reproduce this behavior without fail ... BUT I can only do so if MyMusic is active. It just happened to me about 30 minutes ago when I had MyMusic playing some of my favorite blues tunes and I was scrolling through XGuide to find shows that I wanted to record. I held the right arrow key to get to a place on the next day that I wanted to view and the MediaMVP ended up disconnecting and re-connecting. Here is the log segment (I realize that by looking at the log it doesn't appear that MyMusic is the culprit, but, again, this problem only occurs when MyMusic is active, whether I am scrolling within MyMusic or any other screen):

i have no idea, the only thing my music will be doing when its not active is listening (not actively even) for gbpvr events, video stopping, tv starting, music track changed etc (not anything like "keydown"), to update the music panel (the panel you see inside my music/pictures, not the one on the main menu).
