Since a while.. the homeseer startup is delayed by a proces. The delay is more than 4 minutes. I think it's the FB plugin, because after the delay the plugin initializing is finished.
The FB is at that moment visible in the network and accessable.
Before I disable some plugins, maybe you've advise or a simple solution.
See screenshot for more info.

4 minutes is a lot
I don't have a clue, to be honest. And not much to work with; have you disabled the Fritz Plugin to see what happens at startup?
Anyway, there won't be a 0.7.0.5 to resolve this until all planned changes are finished.
The Plugin is currently under construction, so I can't build an intermediate version to resolve this even if I could/wanted to.

I have the same, the plugin slows down the startup proces. If i disable the plugin everything is smooth. I'll dive into this.

OK, a Debug log would be handy. Can someone take care of that? TIA

[Rutger]

I send you the debug log by mail.
Before I restarted HS, I moved the FBF.log file (8 MB, quite small, most of the time a larger one) to another location, so HS should create a new log.
While starting HS, everything started smooth and fast, no delay....

[Digit]

Keep trying

[Digit]

Now I have a very slow startup too..
It's msmpeng.exe that is hogging the CPU when I start HS
msmpeng is a part of MSE, MS Security Essentials...
After excluding the ..\Program Files\Homeseer HS2 directory in MSE everything is back to normal???

Maybe this can help

[Rutger]

I thought that startup was delayed parallel to the file size of the FBF log file. When you delete this log file the startup is quite fast. When the size will be bigger, the startup is slower and slower on that point.
I checked the msmpeng.exe also, yes I have it too. But only when starting HS, this process take a lot of cpu usage. After that it went back to 'normal' usage.

The slow startup is not a big problem, only annoying. You don't have to spend much time on this. There are more important things to do...
Btw: my FBF logfile is at the moment 3,5MB and the startup delay is 57 seconds.

Hello digit,

I can confirm the above.

[Digit]

Okay.
My Fritz logfile is around 20 MB and that's the smallest of 4 (another one is 95 MB )
I renamed the 20 MB log and startup went from 12 to 11 seconds. That second that was gained must be caused by caching, cause the 3rd time it was 10 seconds. So it's not the log file size. 10 or 20 MB is "nothing".

During startup the Plugin also does some things like model detection, etc.
For that it has to login on the Fritzbox, which is not a 'fast' process - the fritz web ui will never win a speed contest
Maybe I can speed it up by doing that in a background worker process.

Startup time is important for me too, since I'm doing nothing but restarting HS all the time, so every second counts...

[Digit]

I put all the time consuming stuff somewhere else:

Hi,
is possible activate and deactivate answering machine with this plugin?

Thanks

Cristian

[Digit]

No, that's not possible right now.
But it sounds like a good idea, so I'll look into it before the next version is released.

[khriss75]

OK digit, thanks a lot for your support!
