CybrDisplay External Status Plugin

[astronaut]

Hi,

sorry that it took me so long, but I guess you have enough to do anyway. :-)

Here are the pictures of my display shortly after starting MediaPortal.

Internally, the display is organized in 2 panels (left and right) with 64*64 pixels each. Each panel consists of 8 rows with 8*64 pixels. The bitmaps are transformed in an according array. I guess somehow in this process the bitmaps get mixed up, that could be where the 8 lines come from. The routine I've written expects 32bpp bitmaps - is this the case?

Cheers,

Astronaut

Hello,
This is a great plugin and I am wondering if there is a list somewhere that shows the strings available for the "Property Value" section in the "Configuration Editor".

Things like:
#time
#date (Is there a shorter version of the date field like 06/11/08?)
#currentplaytime
#duration

That would be very helpful!! Thanks!

Where do I find a link to the older version? I would like to test it.
If I try LCD Hype directly my display works pretty good...

hi there!

i have the solverstone lc16M with imon vfd and the imon pad. i run media portal 0.2.3.0 and imon 7.20.
my problem is that when i use this plugin, my remote control doesn`t work anymore.

i`ve tried many settings in the plugin config but i don't get both to work.
when the display works, the remote is only in mouse mode. but more often the remote doesn't do anything!

my vfd is 0x3601. an downgraded imon driver doesn't work too. it couldn't find the display!

any ideas to get both to work?

[EDIT]
ah, i see!
sorry for my post. i didn't read the whole thred before, so i didn't know that the problem is known!
is there a way to help to resolve the problem? any testings or something like that?

[realmatrix]

Same to me... i think it's a problem of soundgraph... the imon driver is really crab.

Hi Cybermage,
your plugin is really great.
But I have one suggestion: Would it be possible to add the option to leave the frontview activated instead of switching it off? This would allow to use the frontkeys. If you reactivate the frontview manually after starting mediaportal it works perfectly fine - but it is quite inconvinient to do this manually.

[beregg]

Does anyone have a solution to work with the Frontview Keys (Frontkeys) and enable Display ???
Using the Imon Pad is not neccasary for me in cause of using an X10 Remote.

I just want to use the Display and the Frontview keys. Does anyone know if the Frontkeys are embedded as HID an as wich device ???

[Rickyg]

Well I think I am giving up.
I cannot get this thing to do anything more then give me a blank display and a bunch of errors in the log...sigh.
Back to the original Crystalfontz display app

Hi all!
I have imon vfd with imon pad. The display function is correct... but the remote work about 10 sec and die. anybody help me, please!

[Tomchieur]

Hi everybody,

I would like to adapt information that Cybrdisplayplugin shows to my own needs. For example when I am listening Radio my SG VFD only shows „#currentplaytime“, but I prefer to have the name of the radio channel shown on the display.

Is it possible to have an overview table with the different settings possible to see on the display?

Thanks for your help
