Turn Off Monitor action crashes Eventghost.

My rig:
Eventghost 0.5.0-rc4
Win10 Pro latest updates
AMD FX-8320 CPU
Nvidia Geforce GTX 750 Ti latest driver
Samsung SSD 500GB EVO
Samsung SyncMaster BX2431 monitor
Microsoft IR Receiver model 1040

Problem:
When I go to execute the Turn Off Monitor action, either by remote or manaually, EG crashes.

I tried a fresh configuration, with just the Microsoft MCE Remote (Vista+) plugin, and Turn Off Monitor action added, and it still crashes.

Below is my debug output. Thanks for any help.

Code: Select all

ok i need the debug output. run eventghost from a command line with -debug switch. get it to crash.

then come back to this forum topic and make a new post. put whatever in in.. then click on attach a file. when the dialog opens up put the line below into it

%appdata%/EventGhost\log.txt

this will attach the debugging log for EventGhost. this way I will be able to see what is going on with the back end of things.

also what version of EventGhost are you using?

Those tracebacks will only appear if you have debugging turned on. start EG as usual and turn off the debugging mode from the dropdown menu.

the -debug is debugging mode. it simply provides a little more output then selecting the one from the drop down. but they are still the same thing. hence the reason why when you do not have it checked off and you do not start it with -debug you don't get any traceback.

I have changed some code up to alleviate this problem. I do not know if it will be included in the next release or not. One of the past people that coded on this project saw fit to add the ability to turn on the debugging from the menu. But also saw the need to have the color of the debugging message be the same as error messages. when in reality they are not the same thing. I apologize for this causing confusion.

is EG locking up or freezing? or are you just getting this error message? Because this error message is just a stack printout that only shows up when you have debugging enabled.

Yes, as neytrino posted, it freezes and you need to end it in task manager.

ok next question. are you trying to do this from a remote desktop session? and that question also applies to team viewer and VNC and other programs of the like.

Do this for me as this has worked in the past... make sure your video card drivers are up to date. and I do not mean by using microsoft update. find out your card manufacturer and model number. go to the manufacturers website (dell, hp, or any of the like are computer builders not component manufacturers) and get the drivers for your model.

All that done...
I think, I found this problem when migrate to the 0.5.0 rc4 version, and as i told before - "...\nircmd.exe monitor off" works fine, so I think it is EG problem...
