Mini Display Plugin (1 Viewer)

[x4mer]

Well I've re-installed it 3 times now and each time no new plugins....won't be re-installing until RC is released.

could someone please direct me to an MPI or installing file.

Cheers.

The plugin isn't seperate. It's integrated into MP. I was going to attach the dlls for just that plugin, but it's not possible.

The only suggestion I can make is that you choose full cleanup on uninstall (if you hadn't already), & then manually clean out any MP files left over in Program Files, Program Data, or user directory. Then install the one you used.

Dragy:
Hi, I'm using the same version of MP as you (MP1.1b24669) and iMon Manager 7.80.1224.
SG OEM on a Silverstone LC16M.
iMON VFD and remote work in my setup. It was a bit of a hassel, though.

I use "SoundGraph iMON USB VFD/LCD Plugin v29_11_2009" (obviously) in Minidisplay.
I have the following under advanced in Minidisplay:
- Delay driver...
- Use SG_VFD.dll V3...
- Ensure is running...
- Restart FrontView on exit (this will ensure that iMON FV work when MP is shut down)

PS: Ensure that the "Always" is ticked under IMon Manager | iMON Utils | Common --> "Run FV when iMON Started"
Without this ticked, VFD in MP would not work in my setup.

Mini Display Plugin change request

Hello,

I have a request for a developer.
I just upgraded my hardware and came across the following problem. My new Motherboard does not have a LPT1 port anymore. But that port is used by my VDF Display! So I bought a PCI-LPT extension card, because that is cheaper than buying a new display.

The driver for the PCI card is mapping the LPT port on memory adress "EC00-EC07". It is hard coded!
(The normal adres for LPT = 378)

The well known tool Smartie allows you to change the memory adres and voila it can drive my display. So no defects!
But the Mini Display Plugin is only capable of changing LPT#/COM#/none and localhost.

Can someone please add the functionality of putting in the memory adres like in Smartie?

See att.

There's an incompatibility between the Minidisplay plugin and the latest versions of Imon. You have to wait the "very long waited" integration between Imon software and Mediaportal promised by Soundgraph, or you have to use the Imon 7.60 or lower version.
Personally, I'm waiting but in the meantime I'm considering to use this.

I have now Installed an Imon 7.60 version. After a lot of work I finally have the mce device working with mediaportal. But when I start the minidriver pluggin my MCE remote doesnt work anymore. The plugin works fine for the display part.

I have the Thermaltake DH-101, and I would like to use the display, the buttons and the mce remotel. I also have installed the IRSS.. but that doesn't seem to do anything. iMON is controlling my remote. How do I get the remote to work in combination with this?

Hello all. I've been having this weird problem with my vfd. It's the one that comes with origen ae, VF210, I think. The display worked perfectly with MP 1.0 and 1.0.1 but for some reason in 1.0.2 the display updates itself only once in 8 seconds. I've tried all sorts of versions of IRtrans but with no luck. I have also tried fiddling with the minidisplay plugin settings with no effect. Does anyone have any idea what causes this?

I included mediaportal logs. Tell me if you need something else.

I finally found out that ForTheRecord plugin is causing this. What I don't understand is why? 4TR completely replaces the tv plugin in mediaportal client but the problem isn't limited to watching TV. The whole minidisplay plugin is broken (by updating only once in 8 seconds) for all functions of mediaportal if 4TR is installed on my client machine. Disabling 4TR in config does not cure the problem, only a complete uninstall of 4TR.

Does this explain things to someone who has knowledge of the inner workings of the minidisplay plugin? Maybe point me to a direction which would help in finding a solution to have a working display AND 4TR?

Thanks,
Slarti

Hi

Iam using windows vista 64bit and it wants to hawe the file hwinterfacex64.sys digitally signed.
Vista givs an error in Event Viewer on startup "The hwinterfacex64 service failed to start due to the following error:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file."
Is the file for the Mini Display Plugin, what is it for and were can i get the signed file ?

If I had hair, I would have pulled it out by now....

I have the Thermaltake Luxa2 LM200 with the VFD display. About 10 seconds after starting MP, The VFD switches off and the setting in iMON changes from Auto or Always to Never. Looking in the Event Log I get the same error Jare is getting regarding hwinterfacex64.

I'm running Win 7 (x64), MP 1.1 RC1, iMON7.85.0222 (Firmware 0x380208).
