hi ...<br>
<br>
currently i'm seeing debug about "protocol not supported" from HddTemp<br>
approximately once every second.<br>
<br>
turns out this is coming from the SolidDevice engine, which is used by the<br>
device applet.<br>
<br>
even though temperature is never asked for or used, the HddTemp object is<br>
created. worse yet HddTemp itself has an internal timer.<br>
<br>
of course engines should update themselves only on request, and the timing<br>
should be defined by the consumer not any code in the engine itself.<br>
<br>
now, i'm not sure exactly what the intended use case for the temperature<br>
monitor was and i don't like doing things that are too invasive without<br>
asking for more info first. so perhaps someone (Petri? Blauvelt?) can shed<br>
some light on this.<br>

<br></blockquote></div><br>I plan to change how the engine updates the temperature when it's asked for. What's supposed to be happening is if it can't find the server after 4 tries it stops, so that's obviously not working either. I didn't realize it was causing so much havoc so I'll fix it sooner rather than later.<br>
