I'm not able to find out why the plugin stops working after hibernation, so
I added more logging in my plugin to see why it stops working. Can someone please turn the (new) ExtensiveLogging option on and try to hibernate and resume? Afterwards, send me the mediaportal.log file please. I hope this will give me some more information...
I advise not to leave the option on for your normal MP usage, because it will blow-up your log file...

now my noritake GU140x32F-7000 is connected. It works wunderful with the noritake test program, also it works with hyperterminal, but it doesn't work with mediaportal. Could it be that your plugin uses the LCDHype drivers for this display? If it is so, it couldn't work, because LCDhype doesn't support the real 7000 series. The 7000 series called "show and Tell" displays are different from the 7806 display that is supported by LCDHype. You can communicate with the 7000 with plain RS232. It is very easy to develop software for this display with .NET 2.0 just open the COM port and then write down the text the display shoud show.
The display also supports different windows. So you can define one window e.g. for the TV Station icon and another window for the title.
have a look at http://www.noritake-elec.com/7000.htm.
or should I err?

BoomAlien,
I do use the LCDHype drivers, yes. I thought the specific GU7000 driver supported RS232 too, but it does not.
If you can point me to a document with the command set then I can build a driver for it. Just opening the COM port and sending the text to it is not enough. My driver framework needs the following functions:
- clear the display
- position cursor
- write text
- (backlight control and contrast if available)
Only displays with a character generator ROM (text mode) are supported at this moment...

Playback of recordings should work now in the latest CVS build. You'll need to delete your existing externaldisplay.xml file and reconfigure the plugin to create a new one to get it to work.

I bought a new case recently and now I have an Imon LCD on it.
Setup of the plugin were very easy and It's working well.
I didnt see any issue in this thread about accent.
Or everybody use english settings
Or I am the only one with this this problem.
I have an XP pro SP2 US but I use MP RC2 in french (bluetwo skin)

I think you mean displaying accents is not working correctly?
I don't know about the iMon displays, but a lot of displays do not support displaying accented characters.
If that is the case, the plugin supports character translations. Open the ExternalDisplay.xml file in notepad and search for "translation". It should be pretty clear how to add new translations.
This will allow you to instruct the plugin to translate é to a normal e for example.

Same here, so I really don't know what goes wrong. Koshel's log files clearly show that the plugin IS starting again... I'm waiting on new log files with ExtensiveLogging enabled to give me an indication of what might go wrong...
