Support for Futaba display of FIC Spectra HTPC - Page 2

andreavb · 2007-09-15, 09:32

some code improvements attached here:

fixed volume bar

fixed HOME, TV, RADIO and PHOTO ( using MediaPortal.GUI.Library.GUIWindowManager. ActiveWindow )

fixed REC icon ( using Recorder.IsAnyCardRecording() ) seems to work better that Recorder.IsRecording() maybe because I have 2 tuners and with Recorder.IsRecording when remaining in Home the icon didn't turn on...with Recorder.IsAnyCardRecording() it works like a charm!!

removed special characters from message string and replaced them with spaces

for latest code see post #13

I was also thinking about generating a different ExternalDisplay.xml if the user selects a 1 line display type...since I have a single display line I'd like to have all the informations that go into the two lines merged into one...I know this can be done by editing the ExternalDisplay.XML file but it would be great for one line display to be automatically set to display informations into one line...

in settings.cs is it possible to generate different XML based on the number of lines selected?

this is a little last update to the code:

update volume icons only when volume changes

Hi.

Is it possible that JoeDalton integrate this Display soon?
Becouse i test every day the SVN´s and everyday i must add this files.
Thats no problem, i do it ... but when i change something in the Configuration
and will save this changes, i became always a error that something is not compatible.

I know ... nobody pay something to support MediaPortal and its for everyone free to make support.
But please Add this JoeDalton, then its much easear for me when i install every day the svn´s
to test the actual status and post some bugs when i find something.

Thank you very much!

I added Andrea's driver to SVN. Should be available in the next public SVN build...

Thanks for the excellent work, Andrea

Wow!

I've been waiting for this for a long long time

Works so well! I'm going to keep my Artisan case now, was considering getting another Antec as the display was annoying me that it wasn't work 100%.

Very good work, you've made me and i'm sure many others very very happy.

Now i just need to trade my 360 in for the Ellite version so everything is black

I have a Scaleo E with a built-in Futaba display and wanted to see what this can do. I have installed the newest SVN (16108) but the Process Plugin "External Display" is grayed out and can't be enabled. What am I missing?

andreavb · 2007-10-09, 07:18

Did they fix this in latest SVN? can someone else confirm this bug?

Did you try to right-click the plugin and choose the "Enabled" option? Just to be sure

(I think double-clicking it works too)
I haven't received any reports for this problem yet...
