Djtrammell Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 PinballX take 3 minutes to open when I add the directoutput pinballx plugin.dll file. If I remove the file from the PinballX plugin folder, PinballX opens immediately. Has anyone had this problem? I need the file in the folder because that's the only way my LEDs work in Pinballx.

Mike_da_Spike Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Maybe that is why it slow. The 130mb file. Do you have (verbose) logging enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djtrammell Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 For some reason when i download my config files from the Dofconfigtool online it adds additional colors to my config files. For some reason its adding a "L" version for every color, which causes a lot of errors ( i.e takes along time to boot) Any ideas on how to stop it from adding this? It also shows "L" versions of colors in the table config data for tables. My DofConfigTool doesn't show any "L" colors in any tables, not sure why its downloading with it. Example of colors below: [Colors DOF] White=#FFFFFFFF LWhite=#FFFFFF6F Red=#FF0000FF LRed=#FF00006F Lime=#00FF00FF LLime=#00FF006F Blue=#0000FFFF LBlue=#0000FF6F Yellow=#FFFF00FF LYellow=#FFFF006F

joyrider3774 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 i don't have DOF since i only have one led strip and no extra toys but in the global config there seems to be setting to clear the log file on startup as well as disable logging. Have you tried setting enable logging to false (temporary for example to see if it makes a difference) the should be named like this somewhere (i think GlobalConfig_B2SServer.xml ) see https://directoutput.github.io/DirectOutput/class_direct_output_1_1_global_configuration_1_1_global_config.html#a42d2e81f230d9ecfd5f80aa50d31c6a9 <EnableLogging>true</EnableLogging> <ClearLogOnSessionStart>true</ClearLogOnSessionStart> if your log file is getting spammed with entries it might cause delays or even not clearing the log on every session start might cause delays if the log file keeps growing and it has to be opened for adding new things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyrider3774 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm not sure but i don't think the "LColors" are the cause if i look at your last directoutput.log the 1st log entry starts at 2020.01.17 18:07:41.494 and the last one ends at 2020.01.17 18:07:54.016 so thats only 13 seconds while the exceptions of the "LColors" were occuring. If you want to be sure you could try removing them from your config but i doubt it will have an impact. If i look at your last posted log.txt i do see the following 16:22:21.9 1/16/2020: Loaded Plugin:"DirectOutput PinballX Plugin" Version 1 By Swisslizard 16:25:29.1 1/16/2020: PlugIn: "DirectOutput PinballX Plugin" Initialized OK and thats indeed 3 minutes between loading and initializing the directoutput plugin so its definatly dof related but i'm can't see what exactly. when looking at the pinballx directoutput pluigin log you pasted a few posts back i see: 20.01.16 04:22:21.993 Initializing DOF 20.01.16 04:25:28.950 DOF initialized so it's the DOF initialisation that takes 3 minutes but i don't know why there isn't any log entries between them I don't know if it would make a difference but your pinball X version is still at 3.74 while latest is 4.06 if i remember correctly. Did it load faster in the past ? Do you know when the problems started happening like when you added a new toy or after you updated pinball x version or something you changed DOF related ?

Draco1962 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 You probably need to upgrade to v4.06 as there have been a number if changes that may have a positive impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have tried it with v4.06 and still takes 3 mins, but i have found a log that shows whats going on during the 3 mins. Its 56Mbs i had to zip it in order to upload it.
