Mini Display Plugin (2 Viewers)

[chemelli]

What firmware you have ? As I have a very old one ( 0x80 ) and using imon 7.40.0806 I don't need anymore the V3 dll option and I have no delays...

Simone

Unfortunately I don't know how to look the firmware
Nevertheless, at use of other option, instead of SG_VFD.dll V3 (VFD with old firmware), I see nothing on VFD.

Simone, as I have understood, you are the developer of this plug-in. Whether you want to make so that a variable "_IdleTimeout" could be adjusted by a configurator, instead of had the constant value equal 5 seconds?

Chemelli, don't keep quiet, reply please.

Inside iMON manager you have a screen which report both the program version and the firmware version.
Please attach MediaPortal.log with MiniDisplay "extensive logging" enabled.

New features won[t be added before 1.0.1.

My iMON has firmware ver. 0x87.
With checked "SG_VFD.dll V3 (VFD with old firmware)" VFD work properly. If I disable this checkbox and choose "AutoDetect" display type, then VFD also work properly. If I choose "VFD" display type, the VFD doesn't work and (i) appeares to the right of list display types.
Here is attached three different logs:
Log_1.zip - with "SG_VFD.dll V3 (VFD with old firmware)" checkbox;
Log_2.zip - with "AutoDetect" display type;
Log_3.zip - with "VFD" display type.

cyberdisplay worked with mce driver only for a split second, just saw cd or dvd and then it reverted back to initial

Just i question aside is there a api documentation for a minidisplay driver ? Probably i can port the driver i posted you the links, this one works flawlessly for dvbviewer

This is by design, I use "autodetect" and no V3 checkbox. So at least we are on the same boat
And no issue at all with this cfg or I'm missing something ?

Unfortunatly not. But please look at the current driver implementation as everything should be clear. If not ask

Custom Characters are lost

When ever I use the GUI to edit custom characters they are lost because the characters are saved inside the wrong tag. Tested on RC3 rev 20755.

Wrong ( note the extra "s" )
<CustomCharacters>
<CustomCharacters>
<int>0</int>
<int>32</int>
<int>0</int>
<int>112</int>
<int>8</int>
<int>120</int>
<int>136</int>
<int>248</int>
</CustomCharacters>
</CustomCharacters>

Should be
<CustomCharacters>
<CustomCharacter>
<int>0</int>
<int>32</int>
<int>0</int>
<int>112</int>
<int>8</int>
<int>120</int>
<int>136</int>
<int>248</int>
</CustomCharacter>
</CustomCharacters>

Fixed in RC 4, thanks chemelli

 

[chemelli]

For all of you that didn't noticed already, RC4 is out !!!

and there is a small change in this plugin too: now it's called MiniDisplayLibrary.dll and it's in MP base directory.
If you configure it inside MP, you'll find that all settings are now localized ( if your language file is updated, but this is another story ).

Please install RC4 and then update the plugin with the one attached to this post:

- Fix for iMON LCD progress and volume bars.
- Fixed custom characters lost (thx Reaon).

Based on your feedback, I'll incorporate the changes in next SVN.
