:!: I uploaded C.All 2.0.2. Eventually it will appear here.

What's new?
Added a screen for Tetris.
Improved the manual.
Added enhanced error messages.
Changed the registry key needed for CallMonitor.dll from HKLM to HKCU.

Please read the manual! (C.All configuration -> Help -> Show Manual)

If you want to show a custom bitmap with LCDStudio, you need to create a "Custom Variable".

You can go on "Data View", and you make a right click on "C.All". Next, selects "Add Custom Variable" and it creates a new Custom Variable (obvious ! :wink: ).

I suggest the values "_play.current.thumb" for the field "Key" and "C.All\_play.current.thumb" for the field "Tree Location."

In the following window you need paste this code in the field "Script":

string lstrPath = "thumbs\\tv\\logos\\";

if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "Rai Uno.gif")
  return "1";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "Rai Due.gif")
  return "2";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "Rai Tre.gif")
  return "3";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "Rete 4.gif")
  return "4";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "Canale 5.gif")
  return "5";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "Italia 1.gif")
  return "6";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "La7.gif")
  return "7";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "MTV.gif")
  return "8";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "SKY TG 24.gif")
  return "9";
else if ((String)GetData("CAll.#play.current.thumb")  == lstrPath + "SKY Meteo24")
  return "10";
else
  return "11";

You can click the button "Test" to verify that the code works.

Next, you will need a GIF multiframe (also known as animated GIF) that contains, for every frame, the bitmap that desires.

To this point, it creates a new "Design" and you insert a new "Image." In the attributes of the specific image you set:

Data item  _play.current.thumb
FallOff    0 (zero)
Max        the total number of frame that you have inserted
Min        0

If you analyze the content of my script you will see that in absence of information the frame visualized is the number 11. I have preferred to create a frame everything black, in such way that when I don't have information nothing is visualized.

You increase information you find her on the forum of LCDStudio, looking for "Custom Variable."

Warning: this mechanism is not perfect yet. :? I don't know if it depends from LCDStudio or from C.All, but after two or three changes of bit-map the connection interrupts him. I think that HDWagner is very more qualified than me to explain this. 8)

Re: Usage with Girder

Hey, you guys just won the world cup! Congratulations!

After twenty-four years, it was now... 8)

I can certainly send s.th. in pld2 - but what?

Because with Girder I can also use in MediaPortal "not Microsoft" remote controls" (the standard remote control of my TV in various room of my house).

Give me the time to study your documentation and then I write again you.

Regards,
xavier.

@HdWagner:
@Dazzlercee:
thanks a lot for your help... it seems to work very well!

Only one question: this communication between the plugin and Smartie which impact can have on the performaces?
I don´t know why, but since the installation of this plugin, the HD is blinking regurarly! Any idea?

Only one question: this communication between the plugin and Smartie which impact can have on the performaces?

On my PC it's less than 1% CPU power. (My Smartie refresh interval is set to 150ms)

I don´t know why, but since the installation of this plugin, the HD is blinking regurarly! Any idea?

Either there are two Smartie screens competing and replacing each other.

Or there are two C.Mee screens competing and replacing each other. If you enable the debug client in C.Mee, you can see which screens exist and wich ones are trying to be on top of the screen stack.

 

[Dazzlercee]

Anyone know how to get Smartie to put a blank screen on the VFD when shutting down the PC. I haven't really looked into it yet, just asking incase anyone already knows.

Thanks.

Hi together,
i have a question to the so called "GUIProperty".If I understand it right that`s the variable/data Mediaportal and Plugins publish to other aplications.
I´ve never heared about GUIProperty before. Is there a list of all GUIProperty avalable in the different Menus / Plugins? Something like that:

General
#date
#time

TV
#play.current.thumb
#selectedthumb

MediaMenu
#currentmodule
#selecteditem

Menu
#currentmodule
#highlightedbutton

Music
#play.current.album
#play.current.artist
#play.current.track
#play.current.title
#currentplaytime
#duration
#play.current.album-cover
#music.time.total
#music.time.elapsed

Tetris
#tetris_level
#tetris_score
#tetris_lines
#tetris_highscore

or is there another way to find out what is available as GUIProperty.
Perhaps it`s a stupid question but perhaps others have the same
