Thanks 
I do use the 7 inch display as a second screen, but mostly it is displaying LCD Smartie using a couple of plug-ins (MP.dll and VirtualLCD.dll)
I have it programmed to tell me what MediaPortal is doing. If MediaPortal is running, it tells me what I am watching and a countdown of hours / minutes elapsed and total playtime. If MediaPortal isn't running it tells me if it is recording anything, and / or awake time / uptime / a news ticker.
It is great actually!
Here is a pretty awful photo I just took on my phone to show what it was telling me (MediaPortal was closed and I was playing xbox at the time!).

Yes, you definitely could set it to do that, LCD Smartie is very programmable, bit of a steep learning curve on how to get it to work, but sort of fun! If you get stuck I can share some of my code with you then you can mess about with it.

I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples.

MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...
