Take advantage of the latest EDMCOverlay (installable)

[lekeno]

Instead of distributing a copy with EDR:

• Update documentation to point folks to EDMCOverlay's MSI
• Update EDR to take advantage of the canonical EDMCOverlay
• Verify what happens when updating EDR (i.e. plugin specific EDMCOverlay present). Do things work?
• Tell EDR users to upgrade EDMCOverlay if they still have the one that was included with EDR, keep things working though.
• When EDMCOVerlay is missing, use EDR's status line to guide folks (e.g. message + link to latest release)
• Needs an updated release for canonical EDMCOverlay (with the send_shape method).

Aiming at the next update to v0.8.x

There is some weird issue with the canonical overlay (seems to exit repeatedly and get started multiple times)

I also need a version with shape support in the python helper.

Hmm, maybe not ready for 0.8.2

Hmm odd, the new build doesn't actually have any code changes. But occasionally directx or nvidia updates have made it unstable.

EDMCOverlay exe found: [...]\AppData\Local\EDMarketConnector\plugins\EDMCOverlay\EDMCOverlay.exe...
EDMCOverlay is starting 

[...]\AppData\Local\EDMarketConnector\plugins\EDMCOverlay\EDMCOverlay.exe

error in ensure_service: [...]\AppData\Local\EDMarketConnector\plugins\EDMCOverlay\EDMCOverlay.exe exited"

Is the type of error I see frequently and repeatedly.
@inorton any idea?

[inorton]

Can you find me your edmcoverlay.log file?

[lekeno]

Burned 0.8.3 for a hotfix so 0.8.4, hopefully.
@inorton I found it but it only had a few "connection forcibly closed" errors. I'll try to repro again and see if there is anything different.

[lekeno]

I see this error sometimes: "error in ensure_service: local variable 'program' referenced before assignment"

When closing EDMC, I'm also seeing this (probably minor):

error in send_raw: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plug.pyo", line 227, in notify_stop
  File "[...]\EDMarketConnector\plugins\EDMCOverlay\load.py", line 64, in plugin_stop
  File "[...]\EDMarketConnector\plugins\EDMCOverlay\edmcoverlay.py", line 109, in send_raw
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send'

[lekeno]

I'm still blocked on the weird issues above but more importantly the canonical EDMCOverlay should include the send_shape method since EDR relies on it.

[incryptx]

I'm getting "error in ensure_service" when EDMC tries to run EDMCOverlay, which exits without starting.

Running the latest version of EDR 1.00

Anyone know how to resolve this error?
