MVP/NMT testers needed for Weather2

[leaded1]

just gave it a once over on the NMT and the MVP and everything appeared to be working,
-leaded

I just did the identical test to yesterday & the results are better, it didn't cause a win error & the PC was fine, the updating screen went away & I was able to view all the screens, on the NMT the updating screen never went away so I was stuck unable to do anything but boot the NMT after a reboot all was fine & it showed the new data etc. Logs attached.

This is odd... I looked through your logs, and I see no reason why the updating screen never went away.

This line shows the "Update popup" you were seeing:

Code:

2010-01-26 12:02:51.487    VERBOSE    [6]    Weather2:           ShowPopup-               Initializing 'Data is still being updated from startup, please wait...'

Then, the screen elements get initialized:

Code:

2010-01-26 12:02:51.717    VERBOSE    [6]    Weather2:           Activate-                Initializing of screen items completed

Finally, we get to the point where the update popup should be cleared, and the screen elements updated:

Code:

2010-01-26 12:03:10.154    INFO    [11]    Weather2:           ParseDataThread-         ...parse completed
2010-01-26 12:03:10.214    VERBOSE    [11]    Weather2:           UpdateWeatherThread-     Screen items not initialized, skip rendering screen items...

But instead, the logs are telling me that the screen items are not initialized, when the logs earlier tell me they are. Plus, the popup should be cleared before the "Screen items not initialized..." log.

I see no reason that your NMT didn't work. There must be something I am missing.

Unfortunately I can't help with this stuff & someone else (sub?) will have to advise..........skinning questions would be a different matter

I havnt really been following this thread, but I'll try to help if I can.

What is the symptoms of the problem being seen?

[mvallevand]

Whenever I see these in the logs I think there is a problem in GetRenderiList() or needrendering()

2010-01-26 12:09:12.545 VERBOSE [6] sendIncrementalFrame3 (loc = 40,36) (rect = {X=0,Y=0,Width=0,Height=0})

Yes, that would probably indicate uninitialised images are being returned from GetRenderList(). Some of the other log messages around it might give clues why though.

[scb147]

Are saying is that my needsRendering() method is returning true when it shouldn't? Plus, is the sendIncrementalFrame message only found in MVP logs, cause I can't find any in my PVRX2 logs.

[mvallevand]

The only show in the NMT logs or in MVP logs with incremental updates on in error. You should look before at the renderlist

Code:

2010-01-25 11:25:46.194    VERBOSE    [6]    Creating new render hash list

If you notice they are all False but because the needsrendering is returning true something is awry. If it was false this wouldn't show in the logs.

I think I found some untimely rendering... I hope that I've fixed it. It looks like most of the rendering now is caused by ButtonList, which I expect.

I don't know if this is the problem Jaggy was having though... but one step at a time I guess

Martin,
I know you're probably busy, but do you want the link to the beta builds I have been providing Jaggy and leaded1?

[mvallevand]

Thanks, I like to know the temperature but a weather plugin is not interesting for me. I wouldn't be able to diagnose the problem anyway. If you have a Hauppauge remote I can mail you an MVP if shipping to the States isn't too much.
