LCD plugin supporting more than 70 display types (now with full graphics support!!!) (1 Viewer)

[chartech]

Hi all

I own one of the old D-vine 5 cases with the USB VFD. For way to long this VFD has just displayed "Home Theater PC" and now i thought that i would put it into use, and this is where my problems begin.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get ExternalDisplay to work together with girder. I have ExternalDisplay checked in MP and set to send all data to girder. I can see all informations in the property browser but i dont quite understand how to get the information into a payload variable thats usable by girder.

I'm looking for something thats doing this

pld1 = #date

Hope someone can help me in the right direction.

Kind regards
Michael

Please read my "large" 8) post at page 20 of this thread.

You can find short a sample .GML file for Girder for start with your experiment. :wink:

Warning: you need to use the 0.1.3.0 release of MP, with the 0.2.0 External Display+Girder stop to work when the DialogDisplay module of MP is called (more details in others previos my post).

Regards,
xavier.

For the people that have a display that is not supported by this plugin.
If you have MCE drivers for it, then my other display plugin can help you.

Check it out here: http://nolanparty.com/mediaportal.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10026

It has been reported to work on the Dign HVx cases, the HP z545 Digital Entertainment Center and the Spectra Barebone from FIC.

:!: :!: Good news for the Girder users :!: :!:

I think I solved the bug that causes MP to hang in dialogs.
As always, in order to get the fix: wait until the next MP version, or compile everything from CVS yourself...

Great job ! It works very good.. When i trun up or down for the sound volume Is it possible to have the on the display. It coud be nice.. :?:

A suggestion: it would be great to have a message instead of "Mediaportal" when MP is recording the TV. It would be more easy to control, because we must see on the TV to check.

The plugin doesn't output anything after MP wakes up from hibernate.

I am using the HD44788

The plugin causes an exception when opening the Setup window. I first get an error that DLPortIO.dll is not found. Then I get the exception.

If I recall correctly the DLPortIO was not really needed previously I think when you just want to open the setupdialog.

This was seen on 0.2rc1 and current CVS

Anyway this is the exception:
************** Exception Text **************
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL (F:\Scratch\mediaportal\xbmc\bin\Release\plugins\process\LCDDrivers\ba66.dll).

Hello

I'm looking for the same. Where you can get the data from MP to Girder, not just an event that comes every half secund. Is this possible. I have tried xaivers gml on page 20.this brings op an empty OSD on screen and it stays there. Is that the point of that example?
i use girder 3.3.4 and mp 0.1.3.0
Regards
