External display

Hi!

I have SilverStone case with IMON VFD. Yesterday I installed new 0.2.2 version and new IMON driver. Since then my external IMON display have stopped working.
Any suggestion what I can do beside reverting to older versions of software?

I don't own a iMon myself, but did you switch the new iMon software to plugin mode?

I also dont get the MP to work with the imon VFD. Is there any solution to this ?

Try this (and see if it helps)...

Try to copy the SG_VFD.dll from your Soundgraph\imon folder and overwrite the version in the MP home folder. Also, don't forget to switch the iMon software to plugin mode.

If this doesn't help, turn on extensive logging, set the MP log level to Debug and check the log file for errors regarding ExternalDisplay... Maybe that will tell use what goes wrong...

Did anybody get this working? I'm having the same problems too.

Any further advice?

I'm going to close this thread because there is another thread on the same subject. You can find it here: http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/im...01-t22361.html.

It seems that there is no api for talking to the newer iMon LCD displays. The api for the iMon VFD displays (which I'm usings) doesn't work...

Please join the thread on the Soundgraph forum to ask for support for the API.
