Silverstone GD01-MX - iMON OEM LCD - Limited API Available

[ralphy]

Let me first apologise for not being a mediaportal user, but I understand a number of you are out there disappointed that SoundGraph are not releasing an API for their OEM LCD display used by Silverstone in their GD01MX case. For those unfamiliar with the display, it has 16x96 pixels, and 177 icons.

So, I refer you to http://www.geocities.com/imonapi/ to get an API [incomplete tough] for this display. Also included is some demo software in C#, that shows how to use the the main methods in the SG_VFD.dll (version 5) library for the LCD.

There's still some more detective work needed, but I think there is enough information for the folks at Mediaportal to write the code to drive this LCD display.

As a GBPVR user, I'm thinking about using LCDSmartie with this display (since there's some plugins around to do this), but I'm not a programmer, and have not been able to write the dll (in C++) to interface LCDSmartie to SG_VFD.dll, probably via calling the C# code in the link above. Any takers?
