xlobby terminates when computer is idling...

[lar282]

Hi
Has anybody seen that xlobby just crashes sometimes? Foobar is still running but xlobby is just gone. It happens to me every now and then and I know for sure the computer is not doing anything. for example when I checked the htpc this morning xlobby was just gone...Wierd. no logs no nothing.nothing in event log either.My htpc is on 24/7 and its not really good that is does this for me.Just using a remote....

Not sure if it is quite the same, but,

When I put music on, then select the screen saver , occasionally it hangs after a while.

The music (winamp) continues to play, but the Pictures stop changing, and XLobby is non-responsive.

I then have the Ctl-Alt_Del, and use Task Manager to kill the Xlobby(2?).exe process, to recover

Woke up and xlobby had crashed over night agin. Running out of ideas where to look. I just have no clue whats wrong.
xlobby server is off, so it kind of scares me that the exeption talks about a remote machine??? Steven u planting viruses! (joking)

[badubo]

according to the stack :

at xDvdBurn.DvdBurn.TimerDisplayEvent(Object vwObj, EventArgs vwE)

you probably have to look at this plugin

I get it like once a week lars, i'll post the details of my dump next time and maybe we can find common ground. Happens usually when recovering from sleep to me.

[dandiodati]

xlobby was crashing randomly for me too. Until I set it up to run as a shell, now its seems to have been stable for several days. I keep an I on it but seems positive so far.

[lar282]

Naylia and dandiodati, are u using the Xevent plugin?


//Lasse

[dandiodati]

I don't think I am using the xevent plugin. I have not added any external plugins and I got the latest xlobby2 release1. What is this plugin for?

[lar282]

I dont have Xevent myself but I have simular code in a plugin that refreshes the weather every 2 hours. When I removed that code I haven't had a crash since? REally wierd cause the code is actually clean and do not do anything else than send a command to refresh the weather through the event list.


//Lasse

[Naylia]

i also don't use xevent, but do use xweather, but don't think i have an auto-refresh on it

but since posting haven't had a crash....knock on wood...
