Mini Display Plugin (1 Viewer)

It may also be frozen up. That happened to me several times in the past. The only way I fixed it was to power down, turn off psu, unplug the power cord, hit the front power button to release any charge left over, then plug it back in, flip switch, and power up. In most cases this would unfreeze my display and I would just let Imon take over and get it going again (follow Frantid's last set of instructions). Hopefully this works for you. I really do dislike these soundgraph displays :/.

And thank you Frantid, your solution seems to have solved my crashing woes... for the 5 min. I have been fooling around trying to get it to crash heh. I couldn't find the thread you were referring to but at this point I don't think I need it.

I don't like it too right in this moment. Don't know what it is with this display... I've done the things you said some times, but there is no chance. i used our good old friend google to find other solutions, but maybe i am the only one.

Chris, Drealit is right the only way to reset it is to turn the power off. you need to power off the power supply, if you don't have a switch on it -- then unplug it from the wall. If you are not getting any letters at all, I think it must be a hookup problem or a bad case. If you are still in warranty, I'd call the manufacturer. If you are comfortable doing it, I would take the face of the case off and look at the back of the display. Hopefully it's just a loose wire. if your remote works, the usb should be okay. Maybe it's another wire? You did connect the adapter onto the main power supply cable didn't you?

Imon VFD doesn't work

Hello,

I have a similar problem like NE11.

I'm trying to configure my iMon VFD display to be used with MiniDisplay. It doesn't work and I don't find what is doing wrong.

I have a MonCaso case with Imon VFD and i'm running Imon Manager 7.40 with firmware 0x80. My OS is Vista.

The remote is working fine.

I have chosen "SoundGraph iMON USB VFD.LCD Plugin V23_11_2008" with USB port. I have left all the configuration by default. I tryied to check "Use SG_VFD.dll v3" in the advance option but nothing better.

The display show "Start", the volume, track and time indicate 0.

On "Test Display" click, the computer is thinking, but nothing happens on the display. when I start MediaPortal nothing change on display.

With FrontView in iMON manager the display works fine.

I have attached my mediaportal log and a picture of what the display shown.

Thanks in advance.

HD44780

Hello,

I have a HTPC witha a HD44780 display (20x2) connected via the parallel port.
I can control this display with the provided parallel port driver installed and the LCD smartie software,
but I can't get it to work with mediaportal mini display plugin.

In this plugin I selected the HD44780 driver, but I get nothing displayed.
I searched to all the communication in this forum related to HD44780 and mini display, but I didn't find a solution yet.

What I did find was a thread about a minidisplay.xml file which I suppose is needed to make things work.
I couldn't find this file in my mediaportal directories and I don't know how to generate it.
Can anybody help me out with this ?

Regards,
dreesje

This is how my display looks like, it's a iMon display in a 3R System Mstation Ht-1000 case.

How do i set this up? Do i need iMon software installed? I neither got the remote to work, and i'm planning on using a Logitech Harmony 885 remote, and i'm using the Streamd MP skin if that's relevant...

Fixed bug in IOWarrior driver - how to include in SVN?

Hi,

being an owner of a Mäusekino display, I wrote a driver for ExternalDisplay a while ago. CybrMage ported my driver to CybrDisplay, however the port had a bug. The MiniDisplay plugin of course had the same bug. I finally could fix the bug and have compiled a working MiniDisplay driver for the Mäusekino.

What should I do to for the bugfix to be included in the SVN?

Best regards,

Astronaut
