External display not updating when one show ends and another starts

pilehave · 2008-08-28, 21:01

Hi

My iMon VFD and remote works really great, except for one thing:

When watching a channel, and one show ends (and another begins), the info on the display won't change. I tried turning MediaPortal on one morning, and I had it on the same channel all day. At night, the display was still showing the title and time of the show that was on, when i turned it on in the morning.

Any channelchanging, EPG check or even a quick click on the info-button on my remote (miniEPG) will fix the display.

I have been using the default External display-plugin and CybrDisplay External Status Plugin.

Since the problem is the same even when using the built-in debug form in both plugins, I doubt that it is a faulty plugin.

Anyone had similar problem?

Im running newest SVN on both TV-Server and Client.

UPDATE:
I just found out that this problem is only when TV is fullscreen. In the window mode in the skin, where you have the menu on the left there is no problem...

I'm guessing bug, but I wonder why nobody else has reported tihis issue if it really is a bug.

Hi,

I had this issue for a long time - but it's gone now! What version MediaPortal are you using? SVN? I'm using SVN19876 and it's working with that one (for me). I'm not sure when or what fixed it...

I've just downloaded lastest SVN and will test now. Was running official RC2 before. So far I have tested MP in windowed mode and here the display is updated. Now I'll test if it's updated in full-screen.

Thank you for the answer so far

I can confirm that this problem no longer exists in SVN version, tested in both windowed and fullscreen mode and now everything works as ecspected.

To those that have problems with their display the SVN from 30. august fixed my problem.
