LCD plugin supporting more than 70 display types (now with full graphics support!!!) (2 Viewers)

[le_nain27]

I have this case and it works with MP (although I still didn't install latest version of MP to verify if the display is cleared when I turn HTPC off)

Have you enabled ExternalDisplay plugin in MP ?

soundgraph imon usb driver 1.0 is enabled and set to usb.
Lcd smartie is not running.

I'm still getting nothing on the display.

mmmm....

Hi alexei,
you have to change the vfd mode from "automatic" to "plugin mode" in the iMON vfd software to indicate the mediaportal messages on the display.

Any chance this plugin will work with a Shuttel SB83G5M VFD ?? - i have very little information about the VFD - nothing from the Shuttle website, so i took the Shuttle apart - the only information i have is that the chip on the VFD is a PT6314-002 and it is connected to the USB on the motherboard. The VFD itself is a 20 colum, 1 row, with a lot of symbols above the colum (i.e. sound, microphone etc.)

I think that the VFD is compatible with MCE2005 (not sure of this)

I am currently on a (long) vacation, so I can't spend much time to read through this topic and all my private messages...

You can all expect your answers somewhere in the beginning of September...

Until then...

Hi, just got my vfd working, very cool :lol:

I have the iMon vfd, just wondering about a couple of things,
1. Do I need iMon installed for the vfd to function?
2. I noticed the graphic settings on the plugin setup screen, can I show graphics on mine, more specifically is there (or will there be) a graphic equilizer?

Thanks Robo

The IMon api supports the graphic equalizer so it is just a matter of implimenting it in the plugin.

Another fix is to clear the lcd when shutting down MP so that the screen doesn't remain after system shutdown. Untested but faily straight forward.

private void CloseLcd()
    {
      if (IsOpen())
      {
        Close();
      }
    }

changed to:

private void CloseLcd()
{
      if (IsOpen())
      {
         Clear();
         DisplayLines();
         Close();
      }
 }

hey JoeDalton

I was working with he grider plugin and it made a great job.
Now i want to go back to mp version 0.1.1.1 with the seperate older ExternalDisplay.zip plugin.
But there is no grider module!
I am not able to integrate the grider module from mp version 0.1.3.
Can you give me a solution?
