Enable / disable plugin form events

Chak · #1 November 28th, 2009, 06:33 PM

Hi All,
I'm looking for a way to disable some plugins from events and enable them again from event.
Main reason for this is the slow startup of HS

Homeseer startup will take about 5 minutes on my system.

I have about 18.000 tracks and this need some time.
Idea is to disable Itunes by shutdown en enable it after HS is running for few minutes.

I do not believe you can disable plugins from events.

@Rupp,
Can this be done with a special plugin or scripting?
Or maybe Homeseer can delay the Itunes startup

I thought Jim DooLittle posted a plugin that allowed you to select the order that plugins were loaded but I can't find that. Maybe someone else will remember.

As far as I know, this is not possible.

The plugin has to implement a delayed startup feature itself.

All my plugins have a delay startup feature (because I use this for debugging purposes), but it's really up to the plugin author to implement this.

You can at lease add move the iTunes plugin to the last entry in the list of IO plug-ins in the INI file to make it startup last.

Thanks for the Tips.
Hoop Rich can change this in itunes.
itunes is already the latest in my list.

Webserver will not load before itunes is ready.
