MPDisplay++ - Extended Display/Touchscreen Plugin (4 Viewers)

AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

No, I mean; In the homescreen of StreamedMP, you can add some submenu's. By example; to the tv-tab, I have added "my tv recordings". Do you understand?
Well, if I have watched television, watched a movie or have listen to some music, and I go bach to the homescreen, I still see the letters of the submenu's on my television, and that's only happening if I use the plugin..

OK - now I understand what you mean.
I'll take a look at it this evening if I can reproduce it. (First I have to look how you set this up – I normally use X-Factor)

Cheers,
Wonder


EDIT: I received the new version a couple of minutes ago. I'll pre test this version and than I'll upload it to our server. I'll post here again when the new version is available (as mpe1 and single dll- file for those, who allready downloaded the 0.6.0 Version).

The Download of Version 0.6.0.1 is now available.
You will find the new Version on our Server

Just one issue with Moving Pivtures left. Only the categories are displayed. Videos itself are not visible. This issue will be solved in next version.

Cheers,

@Wondermusic
I tried this in PureVisionHD folder (hope it was made for it) and the width seems to fit but the height needs to be lot larger.
See screenshot

I hope you have not that much effort on customizing arround on this...

Hey Katharsis,

By chance are you using Windows7 if so the problem may be the default font scaling in windows.
In Win7 I think the font scaling is set to 150% this will need to be 100% or it will effect the scaling function of MPDisplay2.

Have a look here : https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/mptouch-mediaportal-touchscreen-plugin-80636/
On the first page on this thread this is discused

Hope This Helps

Cheers

Re: MPDisplay2 - MP Secondary Display

Just updated to version 6.0.1 Alpha and initial thought is that it seems more stabile than previous version. How it behaves after resume from standby yet remains to be seen. The new splash screen looks very very cool (I know that it is just eye candy, but anyways...)

However the new function prompting for which radio source you want to use I am not to happy about. Perhaps this can be made configurable in the future? I only use one source for radio, so this only leads to an extra step for me to come to where I want to go.

Once again thanks to you guys for an absolutely fantastic piece of work. IMHO this is perhaps the one plugin that really differentiate MP from other mediacenter softwares!!!

Hi mtjoernelund,

if you are unhappy with this option you can make a workaround for now. Open the Window_Home.xml with your favorite editor (best is notepad++) and change the following line...

	<section name="Control3">
		<entry name="Type">Button</entry>
		<entry name="PosX">870</entry>
		<entry name="PosY">146</entry>
		<entry name="Width">261</entry>
		<entry name="Height">192</entry>
		[B][COLOR="Red"]<entry name="MPD2WindowID">15</entry>[/COLOR][/B]
		<entry name="Image">Radio.png</entry>
		<entry name="Visible">True</entry>
	</section>

to

	<section name="Control3">
		<entry name="Type">Button</entry>
		<entry name="PosX">870</entry>
		<entry name="PosY">146</entry>
		<entry name="Width">261</entry>
		<entry name="Height">192</entry>
		[B][COLOR="SeaGreen"]<entry name="MPD2WindowID">4</entry>
		<entry name="MPWindowID">30</entry>[/COLOR][/B]
		<entry name="Image">Radio.png</entry>
		<entry name="Visible">True</entry>
	</section>

This is a code fragment of PureVisionHD Window_Home.xml
In other skins the control number could be another one. Just watch out for Image "Radio.png"

I don't know for sure if we can change it so that everyone can configure this how he want's, but i think we'll try.

Cheers,
Richy

Thanks for the fast response. I will try your work around. My point of view is that the fewer button presses the better from a user point of view. But at the same time I understand that several people has asked for support of other radio streams, and then this a very elegant solution.

If it can be made configurable I would think that was great, but if I can make your work around work, then I am perfectly happy.

Which MPD2 Skin you are using? I can upload the "new" Window_home.xml.

Hi sa_ddam213,

thank you for still thinking of my problem!

I checked your hint but scaling was already set at 100%.
But by desperated playing arround a little, i found out, that with a resolution of the Main screen at 1920x1080 and the Mimo USB @unchangeable 800x480 it will surprisingly fit
It seems there is a dependency with running different resolutions between the Mainscreen and the 2. (Touch)screen
The big problem now is, that i cant run at 1920x1080 because im still using a backprojecting TV with scary eyeskilling max of 800x600. But maybe this can help you a little bit in finding a solution for this. The strange thing is, that any other application runs well at the right size and fits at the 800x480 USB device. Only your vital plugin not - at least with my resolution combo.

I attched screenshots again to compare...

Hey powermarcel,

do you still have the problem with the new version?
I tested here with submenus and streamedMP and it doesn't matter if the plugin is enabled or disabled. The submenu is allways there whengoing back to main menu. After pressing left key the submenu diappears.

If it can be made configurable I would think that was great, but if I can make your work around work, then I am perfectly happy.

OK, I talked with sa_ddam about adding a configuration for such things. And he is right when he sais, that this wouldn't be the best direction for the plugin because it's hard to please everyones wishes. Because of that, he added a skin support like this so everyone who want's other options can implement them by theirselves.

I will make a skinners guide after release of the first Beta, that everyone can implement wanted features (or other menu entries like in this case) by themselves. I hope this is ok for you.
But skinning is not that hard as you might think. I started skinning with this plugin and I never done something like this before.

Cheers,
Richy
