Hi, has anyone had IMON vfd problems. I can't seem to get mine to work with the External dispaly plugin but it will work with c.all plugin. I have configured the plugin to use Imon vfd and set the type to usb. I notice the c.all plugin needs to run another exe file to work, is this the case with External plugin too or am I missing simething? Thanks for reading and any help you can offer!

    Ensure you install the DriverLINX I/O driver.
    It's explained in the plugin forum page and the wikiw AFAIK.

    There are two iMon drivers in the drop down of the External Display plugin. Make sure you are using the Soundgraph one.

    Saying that though. I'm having a bit of a problem with it since upgrading to 0.2 final. I don't always get the mp3 tags displaying. The tags are there and readable by MP coz they are in Now Playing and everywhere else but not on the VFD. Time shows correctly, just no further info. Never had the problem with any 0.2 RC releases.

    Anyway. Don't want to hijack your post. Just sharing my mileage.

    Thanks for advice, tried it and works fine now although seems to be an issue with 'Now playing' screen not updating the track info on the vfd as it works fine when in share view! I'm using 0.2 final update 3.
