It hung and I had to kill it in taskmanager to restart it.

Also is the latest install program supposed to uninstall the alternatemceirservice? Because if it doesn't, it can't update, or delete that folder.

what were you doing when it hung?

all this states is that for some reason the action thread got hung. not why it got hung. This is the same error you keep on getting. there is something you have going on in your macros that is causing this hang. It is doing it with a lot of things. my suggestion to you is to create a new tree and one at a time move your macros until you find out which one is causing it.

and we have not done anything with the alternatemceir service. this is going to resolve it's self once we put into place the plugin repo. because the alternate mceir service will be in the user plugin directory and not the core plugin directory and we will have no need to delete that folder.

I was starting Kodi and the macro contained the 'monitor on' action that seems to be a problem child. My tree is too big to do them one at a time, but I've deleted all instances of the monitor wakeup action, so hopefully that will fix it.

[kgschlosser]

the thing is that monitor issue seems so specific to your setup... until... there was another bug report.. still as mysterious as yours. I am going to spend some time digging into the API for it now that I have spent wuite a bit of time working with the Windows API and have a much better understanding of how it works.

[kgschlosser]

well well well...

look at what I have found

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/250 ... nt-turn-on

interesting. Microsoft strikes again. they broke it and never fixed it.

[kgschlosser]

replace your plugins\System\__init__.py file with the one attached.

copy and paste the xml below into your tree and run the macro

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="WIP">
    <Macro Name="Turn Off Monitor" Expanded="True">
        <Action>
            System.MonitorPowerOff()
        </Action>
        <Action>
            EventGhost.Wait(5.0)
        </Action>
        <Action>
            System.MonitorPowerOn()
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

That works! Well done.

I got an error in the log, but functionally it does the job. I changed the wait time to 10 secs, because the monitor takes quite a while to switch off fully.

ok so now I know why you are getting that TriggerEventWait traceback...


this is because EG is only able to run one event at a time. and you are running an event that turned the monitor off. then have the macro wait. so the thread is in a busy state. so when the monitor shuts off it causes windows to send a notification into EG on a different thread. and when that happens it calls TriggerEventWait. which is exactly what it implies. Trigger the Event but wait for it to actually get triggered and not put into a queue. but since the macro with Wait(10.0) is holding up the works. the TriggerEventWait times out before the event from windows gets triggered. that is why you see that error. and that being said you will only see an error if you have debugging on. but another solution would be to run the script in a different thread then the action/event thread. so if you make a python script and copy and paste the code below into it then run the script. you should no longer get that error.

Code: Select all

import threading

def run():
    import time
    
    eg.plugins.System.MonitorPowerOff()
    time.sleep(10)
    eg.plugins.System.MonitorPowerOn()

t = threading.Thread(target=run)
t.daemon = True
t.start()

@blaher

I told you i don't give up and we will get it sorted. sometimes it's a simple comment that someone else makes that sparks a thought. or one simple little tiny thing i read that makes me think a little differently. It could be 10 minutes, 10 days, or 10 years. but i will find a solution.
