Touchscreen LCD display Plugin (2 Viewers)

[cybrmage]

Sorry, this doesent fix the problem for me...

I managed to duplicate the error you were having and I think I've managed to track down the problem....
The Image functions will not draw onto a secondary screen when VMR FSE mode is used on the Primary screen.
I've managed to figure out a work-around that functions on my system... Try the new version and let me know what happens.

Primary for work, secondary (tv) for watching mp and the third one is the touch screen.

Possible.... yes... likely... not right now (I don't have any spare graphics adapters that I can put into my development rig)

In the meantime, you could reconfigure your system so that the TV is the primary screen, the Touchscreen is the secondary screen and your work monitor is the tertiary screen...


The new version is posted, as always, in the first post of the thread...

this seems much better, so far i have changed from movied to tv and switched channels... the previous version would def. have crashed at this stage...

So running this for about 30 minutes, the initial problem is solved...

Try the plugin anyway... It will work... I stated in the instructions to use 800x600 or 1024x768 as they are the modes that most touchscreens support... but there is nothing in the code that actually restricts it to those resolutions. Let me know if it has any anomolies.

This version is stable, and the bugs i mentioned before are gone... The touchscreen has been stable now for about 13 hours with use and testing... I doesent see any problems at all really nice work!

Can you please tell about your plans with this great plugin?

You can add Zalman HD160XT Plus - with ATI HD2600XT with iMON to "tested on" section it works really well...

Glad to hear that!!

Plan????? There is no plan... I created the plugin because there was a lull in the SoundGraph LCD thread and I was waiting for my Moncaso 932B to be delivered...

The plugin hasn't generated the interest I had expected (there were LOTS of people complaining that touchscreens were practicaly useless, and only four people have commented on the plugin) and It does what I need it to do... so development will probably be limited to fixing any bugs that I find.

i try this plugin with 800x600. is it right, that i can only see on the secondary display a white background with textinformation from mediaportal?

It should display the textbox and cursor control icons, and after a perion of inactivity it will change to displaying the time and a clock icon in the upper right-hand corner. When playing music it will display an Equalizer display and media control buttons and a music icon, etc...

is it possible to make a support for 640x480?

As I said before... The plugin DOES support 640x480... but I don't have a touchscreen that supports 640X480, so there may be anomolies in the plugins operation... unless I get feedback on what it is or is not doing, I can't fix it.

i have up to 30% more cpu usage with the plug enabled... is it right and can it optimized ?

It may use some CPU power... you can't have a plugin that doesn't use CPU power... but the plugin runs at a lower priority than the main MediaPortal thread(s). If MediaPortal needs extra CPU the plugin will yield...

Is the Plugin in the SVN Repository ?

No.


There is a new bugfix version available.... See the first post in this thread....

Hi cybrmage,

sorry for the late response to the plugin.
But my HTPC is in productive use...
this means i can not often try new alpha plugins, because my Wife do not tollerant brocken TV.
I will try the new version at the weekend.
