MiniDisplay: iMON driver code cleanup, please test ! (1 Viewer)

[chemelli]

@chemelli
one of the worst issues is that i've to check restart imon in advanced tap to get the imon remote work on both imon pcs. But this is also not solved with 7.6

What I'm looking for is UNsolved issues. All those workarrounds will be taken away, I hope, once SG engineer drop in and help us fixing the communication protocol.

@all please add all iMON specs to your "my system"->"case:" as I did. This way will help getting all those info quickly.

Hey Chemelli,
updated my case info. Wherever I can test, let me know, and I'll jump in.
I'm more or less new to the display thingy. Thats why I have no clue about old unsolved errors.
For me its hard to get to know what is an unresolved known issue, what is a resoved/workaround issue, what is new, etc.

But perhaps thats good: To have a new/different view on all those things.
greets

maybe it would be good to have a list of issues like Mr.Montesa said because it's much more easy to look for errors if you exactly know when they occur (at least to see if these are gone)

also updated my case info ...

Greetings

The main issue we have is the combined usage of MiniDisplay and Remote ( both iMON PAD and MCE ).
The most important thing I'm interested in is if none of the advanced settings is able to fix your issue.

For those having problem with MP loosing focus every time MiniDisplay restarts Imon manager open MP Configuration -->General --> Hide taskbar in fullscreen mode = enable this option

Hi Simone,

Been a long while since I messed with this plugin! Great news that you've finally got iMON on board to help with better integration.

New dll working well here. VFD Firmware v0x360101. Still running 7.40.0806 of iMON drivers.

When I last configured this plugin (ie when cybrdisplay first changed to minidisplay back in about RC3 or so), I had to have just about every advanced option checked to get it to work. Not sure what has changed, but now I only need to delay the driver start, and check the option to restart frontview on exit. If I don't do the later, the next time I start MP, the remote does not work.

The really good news is that with these new settings, I don't get that focus throw to the system tray on startup, as MP stops and restarts frontview, as indicated in the post from JoeSmith. So happy days already!

I've attached my config settings as they were before (THEN) and as I have them set NOW.

Hey control of system is working well.. Just wondering why none of my little icons might be going... EQ and text is going fine... Just have not got any of the MP3, DIVX, L R C icons going, not a single one... Thanks Using the latest Imon 7.63.. Thanks

Is there any chance that we someday will have an MiniDisplay for tvserver, wich will show on the display if tvserver is recording something and on wich channel,or other useful info?

This comment coupled with the one from JoeSmith two posts higher makes me wonder if it wouldn't be nice to have a MiniDisplay add-on for For The Record itself, showing what the status tray app shows on-screen?

Thanks Using the latest Imon 7.63.. Thanks

7.63 ? Isn't 7.60 the latest on SG website ?
