Stopping Live TV

[Vitenka]

The code I'm using for starting playback is:
PluginHelperFactory.GetPluginHelper().PlayLiveTV©;

And for stopping is:
PluginHelperFactory.GetPluginHelper().GetPlaybackProxy() {just checks that is non NULL}
EventBus.GetInstance().Notify("HANDLE_COMMAND", "Stop");

The stop is done in the context of a time callback, which likely makes a difference. (I also have an unblock screensaver after that; but removing it made no difference.)

I'm still stuck with this; and can also provoke a vareity of different crashes if the screen has gone to sleep (windows main screensaver timeout, or closing the lid on the laptop)

How can I progress this?

Sorry, somehow I'd missed your replies above to this thread.

I'm wondering if your problems somehow stem from using Timers, which leads to things being executed on different threads. I think you should try to modify things to happen on the main execution thread once the timers expire.

I'm not entirely sure how to do this; as I don't have any 'main thread' - just the contstructor, Initialise(), Activate() etc.

My code is indeed run while another page is in front (usually the guide view) but that's what I want to happen.

Is there some function I can guarantee is called regularly (say, every minute?) where I could check whether the alarm should go off?

Hmmm, it's a difficult one if you're not the active plugin.

You could see if the attached makes any difference. It attempts to force this "HANDLE_COMMAND" call on to the main thread. It also adds a log message that might help diagnosis if this doesn't work.

Please note though, there is a chance this version of nextpvr.exe wont be compatible with your version of NextPVR, so make sure you backup the original file in case you need to go back.

Thn repeatedly:

(Had to kill the process to exit the loop of that)

Dunno what ISwipe is, or where it ought to be, but I guess it's something new that I don't have yet.
