Mini Display Plugin (1 Viewer)

Same problem also for RC4...

Autodetect is not working:

2008-11-30 01.08.19.070200 [Info.][Config Main]: iMONLCDg.GetDisplayInfoFromFirmware(): Searching for Firmware version = 4402

2008-11-30 01.08.19.070200 [Info.][Config Main]: (IDisplay) iMONLCDg.Setup(): Display Type is NOT SUPPORTED - Plugin disabled

but when you force it to be a VFD, seems to work fine based on provided log.

so there isn't a solution for me? only after 20-30seconds i can use imon as keyboard and use mediaportal? while if set autodetect the imon remote is perfect but there is no text on vfd... i have antec vfd veris elite... thanks anyway

The only solution I can think to is using MiniDisplay for VFD and IRSS for remote. If you have a recent firmware (where devices are detected as HID) IRSS won't work but I'm working on it

Hello Simone,

Thanks for the quick response. Can you explain this to me? I am just a user of MP...

Thanks again!

Greetz, Niels

Niels,

I think you have to first enable the plugin if it isn't. Also in config instead of leaving it in autodetect, try forcing VFD and if still nothing is displayed try again ticking use VFD V3 DLL.

i've download IRserver suite 1.4.2.2391 and installed but don't work with imon pad... minidisplay for VFD works

p.s. what's meaning "devices are detected as HID"?

Look at your IRSS logs and I guess you'll see

I have a Antec Fusion Remote Black chassie and i cant get the LCD display and the remote ( Harmony configured as MCE) to work at the same time. If i turn of the minidisplay plugin i can use the remote in mediaportal, and if i activate it i get fully functionality in the display. Seems like if i have the plugin activated, it reloads the imon driver (when i start MP) and start another instance of the imon program which causes the remote not to respond in mediaportal.

Any idea how to fix this??

IRTrans issues and missing drivers

Upgraded all my systems here to RC4, 1 with irtrans and the other 2 are MSI media Live boxes and lost all VFD displays.

Quick search reveled ExternalDisplay has been removed and superceeded by MiniDisplay

The Media live is easily explained and there is no DM-140GINK vfd Driver in minidisplay, is that planned?

The 2nd is that I can't get IRTrans to work, though this thread indicates other have this working, I get these errors

in MediaPortal.log

I have attached the full versions of these logs and the configuration log.

Any pointers as to what is wrong or what I have setup wrong?

Also if those that have IRTrans working, what is you configuration, version of IRTrans and which modules from IRTrans installed?

Thanks

Trevor

Attached are the Log Files for Mediaportal with extDsiplay and Minidisplay working together with an Scaleo E HTPC
I hope this helps to fix the problem

Thanks

Looking @ logs. Did old CybrDisplay worked by any chance ?

Simone

Worked just fine. Would be great to get it up and running again

So are you sure CybrDisplay ( and not ExternalDisplay ) worked fine ?

Hi

I can't seem to find this in RC4 ?
Will it be included at any point ?

Duncan

DM-140GINK vfd Driver support
Would be nice for all MSI Media Live Barebone owners, as me also.
Up to RC3 it worked.

Since upgrading to RC4 and using MiniDisplay with my GD01-MX iMon display (LCD2) I sometimes get the following error when configuring it in Configuration or when Mediaportal has loaded to fullscreen. This is a windows error and not extracted from the logs:
