Hi jayrock,

I saw your problem and I have to compare with my log when I'm home. Sorry but I think Joe has some problem with his computer atm.

Hi CHli,
I realy like what you have done in those pictures! Could you send me your .xml file and the bitmap pictures you used?

Hi guys,
Does anyone know if any documentation, in any form, exists about how to use ExternalDisplay.xml As soon as i edit the file, i get al sorts of unwanted behaviour.
Surely my fault, but i don't know how to do it right.
Thanks, Marc

/edit:
I might as well add what i'm trying to do;
Things i like to keep:
I'd like to be able to navigate 'blind' to MyMusic
Give 'now playing info' for DVD, Movie, Music and TV.
Things i like to change:
I do not want the display changing from the 'now playing info' as soon as i touch any button on the remote. For example, when changing TV channels, it displays 'TV/fullscreen instead of the channel name for a few seconds. Or when playing music, while changing volume it displays 'Music/playing Now' instead of the currunt song.

Any thoughts?

My pictures are now included in SVN they are under MediaPortal\Thumbs\ExternalDisplay

You can get my ExternalDisplay.xml here :

If you are not using SVN I can include them, just ask.
