Yes... it is... but that's the information that g_player provided.Well, for example if I play a movie, only the movie icon should be displayed, instead it displays the music icon too?
In my opinion that's wrong.
The device pictured on the SoundGraph site is NOT the same device shipped by Antec and Silverstone! Yes... it should work that way, but it doesn't... the display does not have a brightness control... only ON or OFF and contrast levels... Turn your contrast down almost all the way... that is the best your going to get with this hardware.Another function still missing is the backlight control, it's way to bright now, and you can't dimm it, that's the only thing really missing.
It obviously should work if you see the picture at the soundgraph site, no backlight leaking there! here backlight leaking is all over the place, I just want light blue on black not on darker blue.
The disk is spinning because it is playing media, and that's the way I like it (and since I'm doing the programming, I get to decide the way the icon works). The icons used for CD, DVD and other media are different and at a glance, you can tell which is which. If you don't like this functionality (obviously), the source is provided, and you can disable it.What I mentioned about the spinning cd, it spins alright, but I want it to only spin when there's a cd or dvd inside, not on every media file! for example I watch a recorded movie, why is the disc still spinning? It's not playing it from a cd or dvd...
Code:
changing line 87 from:
private bool _useDiskForAllMedia = true;
to
private bool _useDiskForAllMedia = false;
When there is no media playing, it displays the status of the CD/DVD drive (again, which different icons for CD and DVD)I also think as soon as you put in a disc the disc icon should get displayed so you know a disc is insid, and should be displayed as long as there's a disc inside, you understand what I mean?
Probably... but the externaldisplay driver does not expose it's status to us... so it is not just a matter of turning the icon on.Another small thing, when media portal is idle it displays time, but shouldn't the time icon on the left get displayed too?
Maybe you should tell us what the bug is so that it can be investigated.And btw I got a possible bug involving dvd's, bu I'm not yet sure if it's the 2.3 install or this driver.
Your welcome! Should I stop updating so you can make some changes??? 8-} (see below!)Firstly, can I say a big thanks for all your work on this - everytime I start looking at the source to try and improve on it you release an updated version and there's nothing left for me to do!![]()
I have the same case, and a Fusion V1 with the VFD.... But Thank You for taking the time to get the information... much appreciated (verification is ALWAYS good)!!For my Antec Fusion Black I got the following result:
The volume knob is part of the remote control hardware! It works properly if you are running the Antec VFD Manager to use a remote...then of course the only thing left to do (which I'm assuming is part of the same) is the volume knob on the front of the case...
Sorry for the obvious question... just trying to resolve real-life functionality to code-base functionality... 8-} I'm glad it's fixed...Yes i have.
And this works!![]()
Changes to the display driver will have no effect at fixing bugs in other plugins... but at least the new RC fixes them.Oh so the problem is with these plugins?
But I want them available?? Have you solved this in some way or is the only way to get it working to disable them?
Thanks for investigating this... I haven't had time...I installed the new 0.2.3.0 RC2 and now the Audioscrobler plugin works with the display.
Try it Johan.
And now.... on to the good stuff.... A new update to the driver.... ( Sorry darkaz 8-} )
Fixed: parsing of information from g_player that caused the MOVIE icon and the MUSIC icon to display for videos
Fixed: exception thrown on some systems when trying to detect a CD/DVD drive.
Added: Automatic control of the iMON/VFD Manager (the manager) to prevent display crashes if MediaPortal was run while the manager was controlling the display. If the manager is running, the driver will reconfigure the manager so that it does not control the display and restart it (so that the remote control functions).
Added: global flag _useDiskForAllMedia to allow use of the disk icon as a disk monitor instead of a general purpose status icon. (you need to recompile the source... may eventually be placed onto an advanced configuration screen)
