MPDisplay++ - Extended Display/Touchscreen Plugin (1 Viewer)

[Wondermusic]

AW: Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

I have test the problem with the tv information. the only way to refresh the information on the touchscreen when I have change a channel, is to press the pauze button, and than play.. Than the information changed. So, I gues it 's not a problem with for the record..

sa_ddam allready answered...

Another strange problem is, when I use the plugin, and have watched television, watched a movie, or listen to some music, and i go back to the home screen (I have streamedMP skin on MP 1.1.2) than I still see the submenu of the item where I come from. Do you know what I meen? If you don't I can upload a screenshot

This is a thing I can't reproduce. I used the same config as you have. StreamedMP as MPSkin and X-Factor as MPD2Skin. But sometimes, when pressing to fast the GoBack Button (ESC) than it could be that you see an old screen. Here I have just to wait 10 seconds, and the Homescreen appears.

BTW 2: Offcourse I understand that we have to deal with some performance issues.. I gues this plugin is grownup in a short time verry well, so be proud at yourself and your collegue

Mainly sa_ddam. I've just made the Skins and nothing more.

Yes, that would be awesome.

Or are there no other issues discovered yet? Nothing more? Wow... Plugin was downloaded 538 times (if it's correct what the statistics of the website said).

Or do you have any ideas what could be better than now? Plugin or Skin related - anything?

EDIT: Something has to be wrong... now we have 748 Downloads... (12:16)

Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

I will make a answer.... to be honest I install it and see a wonderfull job, it's graphically very nice, buttons seems to work, very very good job... but... it take too much CPU on my core duo 8500 :-/ (FYI I found that if you have 2 nvidia cards you must activate CUDA only on one of them if not video is completely unstable) For example, on the default skin the date is too large (1024x768) and scroll always, this is one of the very small bug but every time the scrolling change of way, the video (TV HD) stuttering. So before install it definitively an live with bugs and report some of them I will wait that the plugin stop to disturb video. My opinion is that it's a very good Alpha (could be a Microsoft 1.0 ;-) but because I decide to use my HTPC as a HTPC and not as a development computer (and use my time to work on commercials softwares) I will wait... the beta ;-)

Best regards

Technick

Hi technick,

I will check this when I'm home again. But honestly saying... I've just tested the Skins with default resolution (1280x720)
But there's a easy workaround for this issue until next release. Just go into the xml's of your Skin and change the Textsize of the Date or set Textscrolling to "False"...

	<section name="Control57">
		<entry name="Type">Label</entry>
		<entry name="Description">Date</entry>
		<entry name="PosX">309</entry>
		<entry name="PosY">589</entry>
		<entry name="Width">565</entry>
		<entry name="Height">52</entry>
		<entry name="FontSize">[COLOR="Red"][B]48[/B][/COLOR]</entry>
		[COLOR="Red"][B]<entry name="Scroll">False</entry>[/B][/COLOR]
		<entry name="Label-WinID-Global">#date</entry>
		<entry name="Visible">True</entry>
	</section>

I will check today which resolutions are problematic.

Cheers,
Wondermusic

Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

Hi guys,

I want to report 2other bugs..

With some plugins I can't get the right information on my touchscreen.

Onlinevideo's is not supported.. Are you working on this? When I play a video from online video's, I get the last information from a played movie of moving pictures to show.

Also infomation about music playing in radiotime is nog supported.

a second bug (performance issue) is that the equaliezer is not working so smooth.. It's stuttering..

Grtz.

OK, I’ve added the support for these two plugins to Mantis.
I will try to get this to work until next version.

Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

This plugin looks great!
It would be really cool if it could be used on a IPad/Android tab insted of having to hook up a secondary display with cabels.
Would this be at all possible in the future?

@technick
I changed the lenght of Date Labels in all skins. Scrolling is disabled. Should be fine in next release.
But had no time to check all resolutions. Will do that on weekend.

@powermarcel10
Support for RadioTime and OnlineVideos added. You will have it with next release.

Cheers,
Wondermusic

Hi Wondermusic,

I'm user of MPTouch and will go start trying this one shortly ;-).
But I'm wondering, are there planes to support Maya as a skin aswell?

Thanks Johnnie
