I think there is nothing done @ the moment.
The best way would be, to put the data for LCD in a shared memory segment or send it out as window messages. This is an easy way to build plugins for the various LCD apps to display the data.
I think native LCD support in MediaPortal would not be the way. Only the data must come out of the app.
I can easily write a plugin for LCDHype. I have done some plugins for this LCD app. One for data from ZoomPlayer. One for data from GotTV. And @ the moment I'm working on a second for GotTV whitch shows more data.

But my skills in C# are not good enough to implement the funktionality in MediaPortal. My plugins are written in C++.
So, if one implements a funktion in MP, so that it sends out the data to be displayed. I can write a plugin for LCDHype.

I think in this way most displays can be supported. And no LCD stuff have to be done in MediaPortal.

I hope, this was understandable. My english is not the best.
