IMenuTask and IEventNotification not working well together since 0.98

[psycik]

hi reven, sub, think I'm finding that as well. Finding the IEventNotification a bit erratic.

Seems to be working on the panel that I have (implements IEventNotification, IInfoPanel, and IMenuTask it's a screen saver and a panel).

But on my main music library it doesn't see to act right (sort like that timer problem I was having last week sub (the you're calling it on the wrong thread).

Have you posted a fix?

I've made some changes that should resolve, but I have no easy way to test it without writing a plugin - so I'll leave it up to you to test it.

EDIT: Ok, how did my post get inserted at the top???? :confused:

ill try it in the next prerelease and let you know if it works.

thanks for looking into it.

I dont know, but everything is really screwy for me. Maybe our daylight savings change that occurred today is somehow related?

Are people seeing this?

Cool, reversed forums, and looks like the :new post" search isn't working...

since upgraded to 0.98 my static eventlisteners, objects whatever are no longer accessible from the IMenuTask and IEventNotification, this is causing problems when the main IMenuTask is trying to listen for events from the IEventNotification, but since event listeners arent being seen by each other the IEventNotification cant notify to the IMenuTask that an event has happened.

so in the IMenuTask im doing

Code:

MyPlugin.GBPVREventWatcher.MusicStopping += new MyPlugin.GBPVREventWatcher.MusicStopping_EventHandler(GBPVREventWatcher_MusicStopping);
MyPlugin.GBPVREventWatcher.MusicTrackStarted += new MyPlugin.GBPVREventWatcher.MusicTrackStarted_EventHandler(GBPVREventWatcher_MusicTrackStarted);

and in the IEventNotification, those eventhandlers are null. also i tried setting a static bool in the IMenuTask to true, in the IEventNotification its false.

so has anything changed in 0.98 to screw this up?

i tried making the IMenuTask also implement the IEventNotification interface but that just created 2 instances of the plugin and still had the same problem.

this has been working fine for well over 10 months and nothing has changed in the code for about 4 months (ive gotten reports from people using a 4month old version that says the music panel isnt updated, and this is the cause).

I think this is due to some of the changes implemented to enable GB-PVR to dynamically change the skin v0.98. I've made some changes that should resolve, but I have no easy way to test it without writing a plugin - so I'll leave it up to you to test it.
