Hi m6242,
attached you find a adapted version of HTPCInfo skin file for Blue3wide v1.0.1.
Before you copy this xml-file to your skin directory, please install the latest version of HTPCInfo. This is required to support changes in regard to that plugin, which are actually installed on your machine.
Cheers, Micropolis ;-)
Thank you now it looks correctly.
Really great stuff !!
But still a question, with this config file. When i enter "CPU" as you said, then my first temperatur is missing. Instead it shows something else. I still have no idea how to you use this. Perhaps can you attache a prefilled config file ?

HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.5.0
Hi m6242,
again: the speedfan values depends from your installed hardware (better from your sensor chip). Because of this, each users with a different hardware needs different configurations.
When you enter CPU in the first field of configuration dialog and save this settings, you must also edit your skin file. To do this, please go to your skin file, open the file htpcinfo.xml with an editor and search for #HTPCInfo.SensorTemperature0 ("0" means first field in configuration dialog). Replace this with #HTPCInfo.SensorTemperatureCPU ("CPU" is the value, which you had entered before), start MediaPortal and you see the value correctly.
Ok, all of these settings are optional. It is not required to use it, the default skin file will also use only numbers. The idea behind this configuration method is only to help skinners or developers to use "speaking" names instead of numbers.
EDIT: To get informations, which values are reported from Speedfan and in which order, please open Speedfan and take a look to the main screen (see attachment).
Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.5.1
Dear all community members,
today a new version of this plugin is available. It offers new properties and a lot of useful functions to manage your HTPC.
To have a clear separation between the properties, #HTPCInfo.Domain and #HTPCInfo.Workgroup are now obsolete. Because of this, please copy the new skin file to your directory or replace both properties with #HTPCInfo.NetworkDomain and #HTPCInfo.NetworkWorkgroup inside your adapted skin file. Thx for understanding.

HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.5.1
Hi m6242,
a installer for this plugin is a very good idea, but at the moment I don't have enough informations and/or knowledge to build a mpi/mpe1 installer file. Any suggestions, ideas?
Also I can't support all existing skins with a separate skin file for this plugin. Here it would be wonderful, when skinners can support me, because I don't have the time to develop plugins and to adapt skins. If you want to help me, you are welcome.
Last but not least: There is no adapted version for the blue3wide skin, please make the changes themselves and post it here in this thread, thx.
Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

HTPCInfo plugin for MediaPortal v0.5.1
Hi m6242,
yes, I have a case with a 7" touch screen called OrigenAE S16T. But in my opinion, MediaPortal does not offer the functionality to display the informations everytime on the lcd/vfd display.
To ensure, that MediaPortal informations are displayed on my touch screen, I use the TouchScreen LCD display plugin. This offers the possibility to clone the main display.
The only chance to show the informations on the secondary display is to develop a standalone windows application. This is not in scope at the moment.
Cheers, Micropolis ;-)
