[solved] Latest iMon + Minidisplay (1 Viewer)

I admit that if the skin can resolve a variable so should MiniDisplay. Therefore we should indeed be able to fix it all in MiniDisplay.
Again I have no issues whatsoever with the StreamedMP skin, you could use it until this issue gets fixed.
It's probably a case of our skins or skin engine having evolved and MiniDisplay did not.

Thx - and sorry for late response. I will check with StreameMP as workarround. Nevertheless problems with some plugins might still exist.
Do you think an update of MiniDisplay could be done for the next release to fix the issue?

Not by my doing I'm afraid, too much on my plate already.

Quite some time ago that I reported some problems with MiniDisplay some posts above.
Good to see that there is some progress now in the latest V1.17 pre release on MiniDisplay.
I tried it out with the latest version and Default Wide HD Screen. In the Basic Home Screen
the second row of the Display is not permanently displaying "hedit.main.use.4" any longer, but ....

For "TV" it is shown "#TV1", for "Picture it is shown "#Picture1", for "´Music" it is shown "#.Music"
and so on. Please see some attached Pictures.

So the bug fixing is going in the right direction. Is this behavior known and will further fixes come in the final release 1.17 ?
Is there something I can configurate by myself to get propper displayed info in line 2 ?
Where has the Problem been fixed so far (Skin or MiniDisplay Driver)?

Thanks for providing some Feedback.

hello ajs, it seems the tricks you mentionned few weeks ago.

the mindisplay.xml setting file need to be updated too, the first one created by Mindisplay during the 1st initialization is broken

I do not understand anything about this, can open a new Jira, and make a change. Till the 11th. And then it will all fall into 1.17. I hope.

@ajs Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

I just had a look at the fix and I don't quite get it. We have nested levels of variables?
Could you explain what's going on here? It's also good practice to comment your code with plain English.

i can answer i think,
because due to many variable to be converted by mp, it need to do it 3x for resolve the good result.
