Although I have already faced a lot of challenges in setting up MP
this was a hard one. It took me so long to get it working that I
thought I needed to share this. Many posts are about external
displays, but they hardly ever get to the point of how to...
Maybe this very specific 'how to' could help you a bit.
I'm using a DIGN HV5 with a IRtrans display and I got
it to work today! Irtrans provides hardly any documentation
on this part, by the way.
1. Go through the whole story found in http://www.maisenbachers.de/dokuw/plugins:externaldisplay
and choose for the setup of external display:
Girder Module V1.0, port NONE, colums 16, rows 2, Comm.Delay 20, show property browser yes
(if all of this matters that much i don't know).
2. Install Girder (I have version 3.2).
3. Get the latest Irtrans drivers [url http://www.irtrans.de/en/download/dign.php[/url].
4. Install the irtrans plugin for girder (should be on the CD or get it from the website).
If ok, you should have an IRtrans plugin on the plugins tab on the right
if you open Girder.
5. Make sure that you have both girder and irtrans visible as tray
icons they should both be running...
6. Make an GML file that has the following xml inside:
7. Put this file wherever you want and then open it within Girder
by choosing File Open
You should get some tree structure with MPUpdateDisplay as a title.
8. Start MP, and you should now get everything displayed.
I hope I did not forget anything.
Good luck and a BIG thank you to the Team of Media Portal.
You are amazing!!
