Bug: HASS.Agent crashes under Server 2016

[Stuke00]

Updated to 2022.12, and whenever I start up HASS.Agent I get a message saying it has stopped working and crashes.

Can you run winver.exe and post a screenshot of its info

[Stuke00]

I've been using this for several months but after I updated, it stopped.

[LAB02-Admin]

Hm, looks like it's fully up-to-date, so it should work since Server 2016 uses the same code base as Windows 10. Give me some time to setup a Server 2016 environment to test and see if I can get it working. In the meantime, you can uninstall the current version (no settings will get lost) and temporarily install the previous version.

MediaManager is a new adition (seems to be added with commit b348431 in this release

As MediaMonitor() is started as a "free" Task, any exceptions crash the entire application https://github.com/LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent/blob/fd496dd0643fcec0b23fd1ed23a85d45b29699eb/src/HASS.Agent/Media/MediaManager.cs#L40

Two optons are

• Add a try to line 48
• Move sessionManager request to outside of the task, so the exception will be catch by the media initialization

I have the same Problem with Windows Server 2012R2 (Version 6.3, Build 9600, NET Framework 4.8) I can install HASS.agent, but can't call the program window to configure it. Greetings, Eckart

I'm currently on vacation, when I get back (end of the week) I'll work on it

[LAB02-Admin]

@RafaelEstevamReis suggested workaround is effective, just tested on a W7 environment. Will be rolling out in the next beta.

Thanks!

[LAB02-Admin]

Implemented in the latest beta, let me know how it goes: https://github.com/LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent/releases/tag/2022.13.0-beta2

[Stuke00]

Sorry for the delay, I finally got around to installing the new beta2 and it no longer crashes. However, it no longer reports storage capacity. It only now shows the storage label and the number of disks.

Most multivalue sensors now use attributes:

[Stuke00]

Yeah I don’t like that since I use sensors to easily track state changes. Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 22, 2022, at 03:45, LAB02 Research | Sam @.***> wrote: Most multivalue sensors now use attributes:

You can use template sensors to convert any of them into regular ones.

[Stuke00]

Ok I see. I may have to look into how to do that. Thanks!  Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 22, 2022, at 09:04, LAB02 Research | Sam @.***> wrote: You can use template sensors to convert any of them into regular ones.

I took the liberty of writing an example for you:

template:
  sensor:
  - storage_capacity_c:
      friendly_name: "Storage Capacity Drive C"
      unit_of_measurement: "MB"
      value_template: "{{ state_attr('sensor.hass_agent_storage_c', 'AvailableSpaceMB') | float(0) }}"

Make sure to change sensor.hass_agent_storage_c to the drive's sensor, and AvailableSpaceMB to the attribute you want to use. The | float(0) part converts it to a number-based value, you can drop that if you want text.

Reboot HA, and it'll show up as sensor.storage_capacity_c.

[Stuke00]

Awesome thanks!  I’ll have to give this a try sometime this week. Sent from my iPhoneOn Sep 22, 2022, at 09:50, LAB02 Research | Sam @.***> wrote: I took the liberty of writing an example for you: template: sensor:
