Problems with menu items - narrowed down

[Splyf]

I had problems with some menu items, the weather and shutdown plug-ins did not work at all. Now it seems that the reason is that gbpvr.exe is started with the start.exe command from a command script I have made. This script updates the XMLTV file just before loading gbpvr.exe with the UdateEPG parameter.

If I start gbpvr.exe by using the shortcut from the Start Menu (Start -> Programs -> GB-PVR -> GB-PVR) all menu items is working great.

Does any of you developers know the difference in starting up the program by either a shortcut in Start Menu og by a command script using the start.exe ?

I have tried to chage the working directory to where GB-PVR is installed. That didn't do any difference.

start.exe

if you want to update the epg when you start gbpvr use
gbpvr.exe -UpdateEPG

I already use that option when starting the program, but I need to make/update the XMLTV file at first.  

This is what my command script does:
1. Generate XMLTV file
2. Start GBPVR -UpdateEPG

The script runs at system startup.

if start is causing the issue, just use a plain batch file.

[Splyf]

Just tried it. Same problem

So the problem is aparently not related to start.exe

But thanks anyway.

so if you just use
gbpvr.exe -UpdateEPG
the menu items dont show up?

[Splyf]

The items show all right, but when i click the weather it says "Please wait while getting .... from msnbc etc." and nothing further happens.

When I click the Shutdown plugin. It says something about "object refereral ..." could not find object. (I cannot remember the exact text)

can you crash it using the shutdown plugin, and post the gbpvr.exe.log file (just the interesting part, near the bottom, it will be an error message, should be easy enough to spot). also which version of the shutdown plugin are you using? and what version of the weather plugin?

[Splyf]

I cannot crash it. I can press the OK button (in the errormessage window from the shutdown plugin) and then continue using the program. The same thing happen again when I choose shutdown again.

I have downloaded the lates plugin versions from http://gbpvr.bladerhq.com

I can post some lines from the logfile, when I get back home. I am at work right now.

yeah thats what i meant, when the error happens, open up the gbpvr.exe.log file and inside of that a detailed description of the error will be printed.
