Hi, Nice plugin. I tested it with an HD160XT, an 0.2.3 without SVN. I get an error (see attached logfile) when i try to configure it in the MP-Config. I can change the font, but not the font-size...

I use the foofaraw skin, so the 4 Buttons will not work for most of the menues.
Is it possible to add an previous/enter Button, so the left/right Arrow could be used as left/right arrows?

You should probably get this plugin into svn, that would maybe gain some more interest for this... And dont remember its really soon xmas now... that can explain much of the lack of expected interest.

Please dont stop develop this plugin further... In my opinion this is the most important plugin for Mediaportal at highend systems. I think this plugin is a feature that will need time reach the expected interest...

Im agree with you that it does what it needs to do, but if you had added a few extra functions, like a "mini" directory listing instead of 1 line with file/directory name, maybe add a thumbnail of the album your playing?
showing epg info when you are watching tv.. (epg description) maybe asked people at the forum about what functions that is missing and interesting to implement?

I think when this product begin to be stable and have more functions then...

That is correct... The plugin Automatically sizes the Font to best fill the available display area depending on the screen resolution and on the state of the "disable touchscreen controls" option.



A new version is attached to the first post...

Dont stop your development!
If not so many people uses touch screens yet is because of the overpriced cases. The situation is gonna change with the new 4,3" screens that are coming out.

Thanks, the arrows are now working fine...
Another point: i configured the touchscreen as primary display. After i activated another application on the touchscreen i'm not able to bring your plugin back on top (unless restarting MP).

Yet another new version.... in first post, as always...

This plugin is, in my opinion, one of the most essential part of Media Portal. I many times almost gave up MP due to the lack of this.

I really appreciate Cybrmage for pioneering this project.

Really appreciate your work!!! this process plugin is huge.

I was wondering if it was possible to display cover art or lyrics (using lyrics plugin) while playing a file.

and secondly - is it normal that I get a white rectangle with black text or should this be lucid?

//edit could someone post a screenshot, how the plugin should look like, when playing music - thx

Hi,

Im agree with you... lyrics/coverart/thumbnail would be nice..

i attached a screenshot of my system... to the left my mainscreen and to the right my touchscreen...

Thx for the screenshot

now I get it - I didn't realize that one can adjust background color to transparent

// edit: another suggestion for improvement when playing music: equalizer animation
