Touchscreen LCD display Plugin (2 Viewers)
- Thread starter cybrmage
- Start date
it seems that the developer bailed out on this plugin a while ago, after reading the entire thread, this is what i found, though this looks great, exactly what i need for my EVO touchscreen that sits atop my media tower, could this not be decompiled??
As a dll file then yes it's possible to decompile.
However I'm not sure on the legal aspects of that if it's not with the authors permission. It would be better if the author posted the source code.
I don't think he will though as he's got it doing what he wants, which was the only reason he wrote it.
I would guess his opinion would be that if someone wants to improve on it then they can write the whole thing from scratch. Can't say I blame him, it's his work. Personally I'd really appreciate it if he donated the source code, as many people could add adjustments to the great framework he's provided to make it more configurable. Not many people around with the skills to make this from scratch
I'd love to make this a project, but with no skills in this area and no time to learn or test them I'm a little stuck with it.

seems to be very unlikley that he's going to post the source as he already has been asked several times.
if you are going to try take the resource improved version of slurm you can find a few pages before. it's just a little improvement that prevents the plugin from using all cpu resources
any news on this plugin or something alternative for our toucscreee?
At the moment i am using the Frontview from Imon Soundgraph, but when i run frotview the TV on MediaPortal gets a bit worse, so i have to close the Frontview app.
Using MP 1.01
Is there any other software to browse the music with the TV off?
1º) I have used the Daniel App, D-HD160XT-C:FAQ - danielrolf.com as a non-donator, but he left the development like the creator of this plugin.
2º) Frontview seems to be incopatible with MP. (getting worse TV Qualty Pics). i solve turning off the Frontview
3º) Touchscreen Plugin from the 1st post, must have your TV on, (so it´s usless for me).
Any suggestion?

Hi,
My medialportal config work now fine and I look the Zalman 160XT plus so after some searchs I read you.
You can easily disassemble this plugin ;-) You can download the demo version of .net reflector here : .NET Reflector, class browser, analyzer and decompiler for .NET I just do it and it work fine. It make a long time that I not make a software for fun but this one seem not so complexe. Normally there is many people better than me with C sharp but I will try to recompile this if I buy the Zalman (560 €... not really cheap !).

Hi,
overall the plugin is really a cool plugin and no doubt with this plugin it is possible to use the mediaportal also as radio or weather staion withou permanantly start the TV. Nevertheless there seems to be one bug. When the compouter will be restarted from hibernation, Mediaportal starts as it is supposed to do. Unfortunatelly the plugin will be not started after hibernation. So MP needs to be closed and restarted, that everything is fine.
I assume this is a bug, since all other plugins are working correct.

Thats the same problem I'm having the touch screen does not start from hibernation. Also does this pluging have anything to do with the cpu load being at 100% when MP is just at idle.
