Re: AW: Re: Touchscreen LCD display Plugin

is anyone trying to use the secondary monitor on an Nvidea card?

I do. I have several PCs here where I use this plugin with an Nvidia card.
But does the plugin show on nvidea? Cause when i changed secondary to onboard, it also worked.

How have you set up the second monitor? Is it dualview (that's what I use) or something else?

what do you mean with dualview? i have extended my desktop on the other screen (doing it over windows default settings).

    Yes, it shows on the secondary monitor.

    I use nvidia control panel to setup multiple monitors. There you can choose dualview.

    looks like they both do the same thing. I will try later a little more, also with logs. But the weired thing really is that depending on which monitor is set to secondary, the plugin works or fails

    Already tried. 200, 300ms does not help a lot. i need to go up to 2000+ms to get a 10-20% cpu time from mediaportal when idle...
    It ok for me when playing some movie, but crappy when play music with the graphical Equalizer off course...

    Yes, the Equaliuer looks terrible with higher values. Have you tried starting the plugin with "Disable form Focus Control" checked? You can also set higher values to "Pixels to scroll" and "Scroll Delay".

    Someone released in this thread a while ago an "updated/modded" touchscreen.dll. That one did work for me with 10-15% cpu when idle.

    That was me too. The only changes to that version are the 4 lines (including new graphics), the selectable sleep value and it's compiled against latest svn. Can you tell me your system specs (incl. MP version)?
    Hi Slurm,

    is your modified old one (with 2 lines) still available? If looking to https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/331740-post148.html i can't find a DL link anymore...

    Thanks for helping out!

    Don't know where it's gone. I haven't deleted it.

    I will take a look if I have a backup at home and post it if I find it.

    That's would be nice! Thanks a lot! :D

    The 4 lines version works great, only about 15-20% CPU utilization! Another short question, is it possible to deactivate the Equlizier by myself? It's not very smooth and on my 7" it's not really needed.

    Cheers,

    Sorry to say that, I haven't found any old backup and as I always named the file the same it got overwritten everytime here.

    Good idea. I will see if I can make it selectable in the Configuration.

    Here the next version of the new plugin

    This is still not finished:

    ADDED: System info window(90% complete)
    ADDED: Navigation window(60% complete)
    ADDED: NowPlaying window(99% complete)
    ADDED: Keyboard window(20% complete)
    ADDED: Main window(20% complete)

    Need testers to find bugs along the way will make things a lot easier for me :)

    can people please report CPU usage (about 6% on my machine)

    And also i need ideas to fill the blanks on main menu , Maybe shortcuts or something
    and any other ideas you have for any window;)


    installation:

    Touchscreen.dll to process plugin folder
    Touchscreensettings.xml to same folder as MediaPortal.xml
    run config
    set Mediaportal aways ontop to false

    and hopefully it works

    Cheers Sa_ddam213

    No luck with your new version sa_ddam213.

    When I install it I can enter configuration and enter the configuration for your plugin, but when I start MP the plugin does not start. When I look in configuration afterwards the plugin seems to have gotten disabled.

    I have tried looking at the logs, but that does not give me anything. Any ideas?

    Hi sa_ddam213,

    very nice screen, the beta work for me but the screen is too big for me, I use a 1024x768 screen.
    I can click on to buttons, screens work as describe. Good start ;-)


    On screen I would see a special current playing : Film title / TV and current time inside the show (and next show, current time, you have a mail !) Like current playing but not only for music and something that can be read from my seat ! Not to many light, a very simple that not illuminate the room in the night. I'm not clear, I know :)
