Real Color DMD (image) issue?

[BrandonLaw]

Just noticed as I don't have many tables that I turn the DMD off, but when I'm in PBX, I see the Image (using Cuphead as an example.)  I start the table, DMD image stays as I have the DMD turned off.  When I exit the table and return to PBX, the DMD clears and cannot be found on COM port as per the log.  Not sure if it's a timing issue, as I did just upgrade to stupid fast hardware like it's trying to poll too quickly?  Here's the log/config.  Have to exit PBX and restart to get the DMD to fire up again.  Only seems to happen on Real Color DMD Image tables.

It's more than likely an I-D-10-T error

@Tom Speirs Did you ever get a chance to check this out?  It's been a while since I had posted this and a couple of iterations of PBX later and seems to still be doing it.  I have to exit PBX and restart it to get the DMD to fire back up.  Is this an XDMD issue, perhaps?  Something is keeping a hold on the COM port or something within PBX or XDMD.

Do you specify the com port in pindmd.ini as well ?

I needed to add it, when it was not com 3 anymore. But still see sometimes that it cannot initialize it

I will try this.  Thanks @Mike_da_Spike

No go, brother.  Was already added.   What's funny...I have an image for Munsters and I watched it stay initialized for the table, I exited the table back to PBX...it flashed and came back up, but doesn't do it 99% of the time.

Feels like a timing thing?  

[Mike_da_Spike]

Yeah. Looks like. Think @Tom Speirsneeds to check code and debug logging for you

I have seen this. A little wrapped up right now. Sorry.
