LCD-HowTo: Using WinAmp5/Girder with MediaPortal (1 Viewer)

If your LCD can be used with girder, you can do the following to get output to your display:

If not allready done:
-Install winamp5
-Install Girder
-Install LCD and DVDspy plugins for girder
-Configure LCD with Girder

Then:
-Copy the gen_DVDspy.dll from the girder DVDspy-plugin into your winamp\plugins-directory
-Enable plugin in Winamp (under general purpose), and set time to 1000ms for timer updates each second
-Set MediaPortal to use WinAmp in the configurator and enable for .mp3, .ogg etc.

The following .GML for Girder is configured for a 20x2 display.
It shows the winamp artist-song as a marquee on the upper line, and shows the time elapsed and duration on the lower line.
It also includes two events which are triggered when play and stop is pushed. I use these to enable a standard clock on my display when winamp is stopped.

About The Project

The vision of the MediaPortal project is to create a free open source media centre application, which supports all advanced media centre functions, and is accessible to all Windows users.

In reaching this goal we are working every day to make sure our software is one of the best.

Support MediaPortal!

The team works very hard to make sure the community is running the best HTPC-software. We give away MediaPortal for free but hosting and software is not for us.

Care to support our work with a few bucks? We'd really appreciate it!
