Wow, you got hold of him? Well done. I tried a while back.

I'm VERY keen on seeing it updated....

I spent several hours yesterday investigating how the MVP Tray Icon plugin works with GBPVR 1.0.16 without learning anything.

Installing the current 1.0.6 version of "MVP Tray Icon.dll" results in the following output in the "PVRX2.exe.log":

Code:
2007-11-07 06:52:53.867    INFO    [1]    loadNewStylePlugins()...
2007-11-07 06:52:53.867    INFO    [1]    About to check 'C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\MVPTrayIcon' for plugins
2007-11-07 06:52:53.867    VERBOSE    [1]    About to check file: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\plugins\MVPTrayIcon\MVP Tray Icon.dll
2007-11-07 06:52:53.898    VERBOSE    [1]    MVP_Tray_Icon: launched
2007-11-07 06:52:53.898    VERBOSE    [1]    MVP_Tray_Icon::ReadSettings() MAC-000DFE003591 = Upstairs

However, if I attempt to run an "MVP" version of PVRX2.exe using, I guess, "PVRX2.exe -mvpmode" I don't see anything similar in the "MVP-PVRX2.exe.log" log file. Does this mean that the -mvpmode version of PVRX2.exe doesn't load plugins, or doesn't do so until an MVP is "connected"?

Separately, what kinds of issues are people seeing with the MVP Tray Icon in 1.0.16? Does it not show up at all? Does it show up inconsistently?

Yes, I'm pretty sure this is the case.

The downside of this change is that the MVP Tray Icon won't initialize and display anything in the tray before an MVP connects, which isn't a big problem, especially for anyone who leaves the MVP(s) on all the time. However, anyone who does turn off the MVP will most likely lose the tray icon until it's turned back on.

Is this what most people are seeing that was deemed "unstable", or are there other issues once an MVP has connected?

Do you mean it doesn't show the file currently playing? If so, I haven't noticed. It does show when machines are connected at least, or at least mine does. Smile

If we can get the code I'm more than willing to try and update it. I do program for a living, though I've not done any gbpvr plugin work or anything.

This is something i noticed, where as before i saw 2 icons as i have 2 MVP servers NOW i have the same setting but only icons are up for those actually connected.

Would there be a way to look at the number of servers running from CONFIG the put that many icons on the tray with a status of Off Line then when it sees an PVRX2 for MVP is then activates to "online" so to speak, this would solve the problem of the icon vanishing.
Many Thanks

That would work if the MVP Tray Icon were converted into a separate application that monitored running GBPVR processes through some kind of interprocess communication.

However, that's quite a bit more work than I'm willing to undertake at this point; it would actually become a completely different project, but possibly something that one of the other "tray icon" projects would be willing to take on.

If Sub is kind enough to shift the plugin loading stage "forward" in the -mvpmode version of PVRX2 so that the plugin actually loads before PVRX2 attempts to connect to the MVP I believe the icons will return to their previous behavior.

That makes sence, and probably a better course of action, not so sure i would want an external process running as well as GBPVR.....

Sure sub will have input here Big Grin
Many Thanks
