Should be able to get it working with External display, the VFD using IRTRANS to control it. You should be loading IRTRanstray USB at startup, must have otherwise the remote would not work.

Will also need The Port I/O Driver from here. Download Port I/O

In external display select 'IRTrans LCD/VFD Driver 1.0', set port to 'localhost'

I have Colums 18, Rows 2, these will need to change for display I suspect...

It should work fine then.

If still having problems check in the Mediaportal.log file for 'External Display'

Should see these lines

Anything else may point towards the problem.
