AW: MPDisplay++ - Extended Display/Touchscreen Plugin

Update after testing a few hours:

No crash or performance issues so far

But the progressbar update (tv/recordings/movies) is not accurate.
Sometimes it does not update over 30 min?!

i am using MPD++ with Dark skin on MP 1.2.2.
My system specs are uptodate.

- IT guy without connectivity ...

MyAnime looks like TVseries in the Mainscreen

Is there a list what windows ID is what? For my feeling (with the NoTouch Skin) - wouldn't it make more sense to have a coverflow view instead of selection Buttons like it is now with Video, Music and so on? Well - don't know if coverflow is possible with MPD++

Not completely...

If you want to know which ID is which window, you have to take a look into the WindowsManager.xml of NoTouch Skin.
Coverflow is not possible. May be this is a option after completition of Version 0.8 (WPF Version - no longer use of CPU to render the gfx for the second monitor). But sa_ddam213 can say more about such a feature.

Cheers,
Richy

Are this files also compatible with default black?

I'm using that skin now until there is a skin for StreamedMP.

I have seen that Wondermusic is busy with a Avalon skin right? Are there allready plans to make a StreamedMP skin?

Yes, I edited the entry.

And also yes! I'm right now at the Avalon and PureVision HD Skin and after that I wanted to start with StreamedMP (MrBonsen is also on that one, so may be that he will be ready before I can start it).
Avalon will take possibly more time for release, because I need some changes in MPDisplay++ (not knowing if it's possible or not - I will see and inform you about that).

thanks Wondermusic!

For now I like the default dark skin.. It's a lot beter than the previous version.. But the whole plugin is a lot better than the previous one.. I'm now running it 24/7 and that was not possible with MPD2 inmy case so that's really awesome!

I want to say one thing:

MPD extended is now not only for seconds display's anymore but also compatible for other devices.. I think that this is a very good thing! But for users with a small second screen like I have (7") the things on the display or not always good to read from a bigger distance; let's say; from my couch (3 mtrs) I like to see that things are good to read.. Things like; program information, the resolution of a movie, etc.. Those things are now a bit small to read.. I think this is because it's not a problem for tablets, smartphone's or monitors in you network because in that case you are max 0.5 meter from the screen.. I hope you guys understand what I mean..

Yes I do.
I'll try to make the Labels bigger in next Version.

I agree 100%.

Thank you (sa_ddam, wondermusic & other devs) for the great job on this plugin!!

Great stuff!!! Works a lot faster than before.

One question (for now )
Is there a way to change the used Date view? I use MPDisplay++ on a Zalman HD160XT Plus --> 7'' touchscreen. The date of today is viewed as "Zaterdag januari 14". Because there is no room for the 4 in 14, I cannot see it. For me the "Zaterdag" (Saturday) does not have to be displayed.
I took a quick look at the xml's but got a bit lost.

Grtz,
Sam
