front Display and help. (1 Viewer)

[evigglad]

Hi everyone,
I'm one of many newbies in the Media-portal world. I must say that it is an increddible good program. I'm exremely happy with the looks and flexibility in the program.
I Use a Scaleo C mediacenter as my center. This machine have a nice front display with some figueres and volume settings an other stuff. Do anyone know if it is possible to integrate this with the media portal?
there is also a nice software from Intervideo called Instant on, but it's not as nice as Mediaportal. any one knows if media portal can run in instant on mode???

I really hope for some possitive response

Instant On first..

As far as I know, Instant On is a proprietary Linux based OS developed by Intervideo and located on a separate partition on the harddrive. - So no luck of making MP act like that.. Unless you really shrimp your XP installation.. Look for threads with "Embedded" in the title.. They can tell you more..

Second.. Your front panel.. Since you didn't provide any links, I bothered enough to look up the Scaleo C thingy.. And I highly doubt a specialized display like the one in the Scaleo will be supported.. So you need to find the specs on the display, the interface, and start coding Eg. the MCE Display plugin will put out all the necessary informartion, so I'm sure it can be modified to support the Scaleos Display... All it takes is work (and a usable Api)

Cheers,
Steff
