RE: Possible pauses with xPLHAL

["Ian Lowe" <ian.lowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think, tbh that this is just another case of Misterhouse's broken xpl
implementation coming to the fore.

I don't know how many times we have to say it before an MH developer
will listen - Misterhouse DOES NOT implement xPL properly, and will NOT
interact with any other xPL app/device correctly.

One thought - is your MH running on a "real" linux machine, or in
a VM
Ware session?

Ian.

Hi Ian,

OK, did that and it still pauses?????

It appears that the only way I can see these pauses is by using MH to
send data out every second and watch for the pausing. I don't have
another tool to generate these messages at one second intervals.
But the big common factor in all of this so far is MH. So I guess I had
better write my Delphi app to simulate what I'm asking MH to, and that
is send out an OSD message with the current time every second.

Regards,

Neil Wrightson.
