(put it in "Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\Windows")
This will not fix anything, but I added some logging to track it down!
Thanks - installed and I'll post back logs when it happens again.

Hi glenn,

Didn't happen last night, but it did tonight.
Log attached with the debug DLL in place.

Thanks!

Seem to be getting this more and more now - I wonder if it's something specific to my setup or, perhaps, Windows 8...

glenn: Did you get a chance to look at the logs? Wondering if there's anything I can do to dig into it my end?

I can't find something special in your logs, after a quick look.

Cound you enable the setting to restart mp on resume in the configuration?
If that works, I might have a clue.

I've changed to this setting and, so far, I've not seen the issue - Recorded TV populates straight after resume (and MP restart).

Nearly 2 weeks on now, and I've not seen this issue come up again. After Mediportal has restarted on each resume from standby "Recorded TV" is available instantly and is always populated.

glenn: Does this suggest a fix in the client? TBH, I'm happy enough having Mediaportal restart each time as it's pretty quick these days...

I'm seeing a similar kind of behavior, except i never get to see a populated recorded programs list.
The EPG seems to working well, aswell as all other menu's.
I upgraded to MP 1.3.0.0 and the argus 1.3 beta client & skin files.

attached a log.....

Saw this last night. Client machine is W7 64 bit, MP 1.3 Final with Argus 2.1 b1. Titan skin (Titan Extended installed). Argus server is on a separate W7 64 bit machine (2.1 b1).

Basically, both machines are always on, MP is always open on the client, the client was in the My Videos section (nothing playing) when I pressed the Recorded TV button on my remote, it went to the blank Titan background with the Argus logo & nothing else. I pressed back & then selected Recorded TV & all was fine again.

So far, that's the 1st & only time I have seen it. I have another client that sleep/wakes where MP isn't restarted, haven't seen it on that. Another client is a desktop where MP is started up when needed, haven't seen it on that.

Saw it again last night. I think I was jumping from the My Videos section directly to Recorded TV again.

Will try to upgrade to beta 2 today.

mmm...I started this thread, but had forgotten about it as I hadn't seen the issue since.

I'm pleased to say I still haven't seen it again, having gone through the various Beta upgrades too (I'm on the latest Beta) but then I am in a situation where I always put the client into S3 standby; I still use the Mediaportal restart workaround on resume from S3, but ideally I'd like to stop doing this as it does delay start-up a bit.

glenn: You mentioned earlier that you had an inkling about what this might be related to, when you suggested the Mediaportal restart as a workaround?
