Now THAT would be awesome! Who needs VFD!
I think the idea would be excellent, but the problem is that I imagine these displays use proprietary signals and display methods, like a laptop screen does.
I doubt it would be possible without a tremendous amount of work, I'm afraid.

Just wondering........
Some of the Photo Frames like for example the Kodak EASYSHARE EX811 KODAK EASYSHARE EX811 Digital Picture Frame Features & Benefits
have the ability to receive photos over a wifi connection and show them immediatly on arrival at the picture frame.
This being the case, could you get Media Portal to send a Jpg to the Picture frame everytime the screen changes?

Great idea!!!
There are now lots of cheap 7" DPF's (starting from about $70) with low resolution of 480x234. Many of them have a built-in flash memory with auto slideshow function, and a USB interface for PC connection.
Some of them can also be used as a clock / calendar display with background JPG image.
Sounds to me like an ideal external display for MP. It may be impossible to show real-time content from MP, such as video or live TV... But displaying basic information from MP, such as:
* Time and Date;
* Local weather information;
* Current playing media information such as: Song title / artist / album cover / progress bar / Playing next (for music) or Now / Next EPG for TV...
* Recording status
Should be more easily implemented...
Can this be done today? Maybe an existing plugin can be tweaked?
Or maybe an option to capture a screenshot of MP into JPG on a specific folder (the USB device folder) once or twice a second?
Should be interesting...

Hello,
I would like to use a media server to display various learning categories. I prefer not to use software like Kodi, as it requires extensive metadata scraping that I don't need.

I messed about with task priorities MP/TV-Server/SQL-Server and the issue changed to the skin.. I would do something, but it would be 10's of seconds before the action happened. Doing an Alt-Tab would flush the actions. Too weird lol!!

The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5
I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try.
But I can't give any guarantees.
