[QUOTE="ThomP, post: 13544, member: 11167"] [b]Questions from a future user[/b] Hi, I'm not a Mediaportal user yet, but I've been skimming this thread (and the WIKI-page) since I'm considering MediaPortal for my future HTPC which will have a VFD display. I see a lot of requests for LCD/VFD navigation, but I can't see if it has been implemented? Since music playback is one of the primary uses for my HTPC I really "need" to be able to navigate the music module without having to turn on the TV - I don't think I need menu-navigation, because I guess I can program a button on my remote to jump to the music-module. Is this possible? Another concern is the languages. Is the character conversion hard-coded or is it a table/file that can be edited by the user? - The reason I'm asking is that the conversions I've seen in the thread are not "standard" for danish, even though some of the letters are. Denmark uses the following special characters and conversion: æ-->ae ø-->oe å-->aa Æ-->Ae Ø-->Oe Å-->Aa Can the plugin be set up to handle them correctly? And what i the display can actually handle those characters - wil lthey still be converted? My display (Noritake 32*140 graphical) does have european character sets, so if I ever get around to making a LCDSmartie plugin for it I hope it can display the characters correctly. [/QUOTE]
