MiniDisplay: iMON driver code cleanup, please test ! (2 Viewers)

[Synthetic]

With this version of Minidisplay I got my combination of Antec Fusion Black iMon Display + Harmony Remote 525 configured as MCE remote working together for the first time.

Display fires up on MP start and remote still works (wasn't possible before).

The only remaining problem is that I'm unable to enter S3 via remote (did I miss something?).

I'm running Frontview for remote handling and Imon version 7.2 (as I'm anxious to do an update because of the problems normally combined with Imon )

EDIT: Tested entering Standby again, it seems that it does work, but only after sending the standby signal via remote a second time... so the first command does nothing but producing HDD access and the second command works (I'm not sure if it always works)

I ticked the following options beside cosmetic settings in the advanced tab:
Ensure is running before driver start
Force restart after driver start
Restart Frontview on exit
Leave Frontview active

I tried both options for: Monitor PowerState Events but this did not seem to change anything

My LCD stays simply off. It doesn't show anything.

Latest Iom Soft 7.61.0522 installed.

Log attached. I hope you can solve this.

Something wrong with your iMON. What if you reveer to 7.40 ?

this happens only when i set Fronview to never - when i set it to Always on MP works - but the display stays also on when i close MP and i don't want that.

Could i test anything else?

Will Update the Firmware later.

Some more information about the problems with standby mode:

Entering standby directly after starting MP / resuming from Standby does not work but I found out that standby works directly as it should after Media was played (or TV activated)... hope that helps.

Downgrade iMON to v7.40 and cross your fingers

but i had the same problem with iMon 7.4 and 7.2 - but haven't cared about it in the past.

I just wanted to say that I have just tried this new driver after having problems with the remote on the standard plugin.

It seems to work a treat for me.

You are a star!

I am using latest iMon soft 7.61.0522 on XP SP3 with MP 1.0.2.0

The only thing that doesn't work that I have found (not that I am a particularly advance user) is that I can't personalise the display text to change the messages on my VFD screen. I am setting it up for my father as a new HTPC for him, so I wanted to change the "mediaportal" text to say "Dad's HTPC" or something, but when I change the text and click OK and then go back into the settings, the text has returned to "mediaportal". This however is so very unimportant that I really don't care.

The screen and remote work - WAHOOOOO Thanks
