MPDisplay++ - Extended Display/Touchscreen Plugin (2 Viewers)

AW: Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

welcome back sa_ddam213

I have made some patches to your program, from the source provided by Wondermusic so i could run it on latest SVN.

MPD2_TVprogress is now showing all 3 progesses. Timeshift, program and Live. Didnt try to make the slider work, because i dont see why its should be possible to skip in liveTV with the touch screen.

I also made a workaround for the listview problem with Facade.ListLayout in svn. The lists are now shown and working on the touchscreen, even if the view is coverflow.

Could you post this version here? So all others can use this version until the next release from sa_ddam.

Cheers,
Wonder

btw: if i set the global General property LabelScrollSpeed(1-100) to 15, i have no problem with any of the scrolling labeles, including the RSS feeds on all screens. If its set to low it will make the fullscreenTv drop a lot of frames.

If its of any use to you, please let me know...

Hey sunedane,

Great work!!, Will this be only for svn users or is it backward compatible.
Everything has been change in the new version so a patch like this will buy me some time to get the new version up and running,

Thanks
Sa

Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

Hi there!

I´am new to this forum and i found this plugin, hope i´am in the correct thread.

Could you tell me if usb displays like the sideshow diplays from: Sideshow Displays - Digital Devices Distribution UG (haftungsbeschränkt) will work with this plugin?

thx
Denis

Hi lodenludwig,

I think this display is much to small for the standard skins I'm providing with this plugin. You can use it, as I know that some users are running MPD2 on an USB- Screen, but you will have to write your own skin for such a small display.
If you have any questions on writing a skin for this plugin you should take a look into our own Skinning forum on MP Display 2.
Register there with your name you are using in this forum and I will give you access to the subforums .

I will publish these forums with the first Release Candidate of MPD2, because there will be much changings until this version and I don't want to write everything two or three times completely new for every user question. I'll try to keep the users with granted access small for the first.

Cheers,
Wonder

dont think so, because this plugin needs to have a secondary monitor (most usb monitors are recognized as external grafigcard) and i dont think that this sideshow function works like this ....

Ok. So if that is inpossible, could you suggest me an other small diplay (3"-4") with an touchscreen? I´am looking to build it in my media center pc (htpc), just fas a statusdisplay with some minimalistic controls over the touchscreen.

I have an old hush case that is just 8cm in height. Are there some oled displays that can be used?

Hey been away from this thread for a while and is now trying to catch up on development, which I understand has yet again been delayed by earthquake - sa_ddam sorry to hear about this, you just do not seem to have the luck...

Nonetheless I would like to try to get some clarification on the current development status as I think there is a little confusion on where this plugin is going - up or in the grave? There was some comments that the plugin would never be compatible with 1.2, but afterwards sa_ddam mentioned that he was working on an update, so will this be 1.2 compatible?

On another note, in relation to the problem that several users has previously been mentioning, that tv drops frames, especially in hd, with this plugin is active, I had the same problem, but the comment made by sundane above about setting scroll speed to 15 (or more) seems to make this alot better on my system.

These are good questions. I've talked to sa_ddam a while ago and he sent me a part of the new version (Which looks great). But the last Mail I got is now 2 weeks ago and on my reply he didn't answered yet. I think he's very busy at the moment and I hope everything is ok so far. For now I would say, that the plugin is not going to be buried...

Upcoming versions will be compatible with MP 1.2.
I think I will upload today another "old" version for 1.2 Alpha and older MP Versions. sunedane gave me the code for the tv Progress from his workaround and I implemented this into the code of 0.6.0.2. So there will be the same version, just with working TV Progress bar. I'll give it the same Version number as sunedane does (0.6.0.3) with a hint which is for old, and which one for newer MP Versions.

Cheers,
Wonder
