cybrmage,
did you get time to find why sometimes when MP starts with windows I have a "H/W disconnected" and a yellow exclamation point in IMON tray icon ?
This is the only issue as I greatly appreciate the new driver with all the DLL fixes and the EQ feature...but before the H/W error was not seen...

Hello !
I have the same issue from several versions, but I thought it wasn't due to the driver
It happens sometime at startup and sometime during watching a movie (after one hour by exemple). My remote doesn't work anymore and I have to shut down the PC (by turning of power) to get my LCD&remote working again.Here is an error log file I got during watching a movie.

Sorry, the complete log file is too big (3Mb when zipped), but reading this it seems to come from my remote plugin ... What is your opinion cybrmage ?
Thanks.

Hi Cybrmage with this release for me EQ not longer work.After the 10 sec delay the display still show track detail.Tested without 10 sec delay but still show the track info but no EQ.Log attached
No.. I have not been able to duplicate the problem...
It appears (from the small piece of the log you posted) to be a problem with the keyboard input plugin... You'll need to chase down that bug...
Sorry.... I left a debuggig switch in the code that disabled the EQ when BASS is upmixing...
Here is a new version:
Changed: Various performance and readability tweaks.
Fixed: Eq did not work when upmixing was selected.
Regards,
CybrMage
Cybrmage everything is working great now.thanks again!
cybrmage,
can you please build a test version for me that will look for a SG_VFDv3.DLL instead of SG_VFD.DLL if the "V3" option is enabled in the driver ?
I'm experiencing a lot of "HW disconnected" messages in iMON and when this happen I have a 0xfffffff firmware version displayed in imon itself. After a shutdown+220V cable remove I have a firmware version 0x80.
Thanks in advance,
Simone
EDIT:
I found that the issue is mostly related to SG_RC.DLL because it seems that forcing the display type to VFD everything works.
Will try it again but maybe the SG_RC.DLL is related to teh SG_VFD.DLL loaded and this is the problem...

Hi Cybrmage,
I discovered a slight error in your latest drivers (the ones who try to link to the dll in the IMON dir).
On my htpc all programs are installed on the D drive, so the imon software is in D:\Program Files\SOUNDGRAPH\IMON.
However, after getting error messages in configuration.log and an error every time I tried to open the advanced window in Mediaportal Configuration I saw that the driver is trying to link to SG_VFD.dll in C:\Program Files\SOUNDGRAPH\IMON, which off course isn't there.
After copying the dir from D to C, I got rid of the errors.
I think the solution is simple. When you check the registry keys for existence of the Antec of IMON software could you also check the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\iMON.exe] (for IMON at least, don't know the one for Antec VFD), which has a Path value with the dir IMON is installed.
So that way you can always find the correct SG_VFD.dll
BTW, thanks for the great work on this driver.
Greetings,
Patrick

Follow the instructions posted previously,
enable "Force V3" and it will use the V3 dll... The DLL MUST be named SG_VFD.dll... any other name WILL interfere with the iMON/VFD software (and you lose the ability to use the remote)
Sounds like you have a hardware problem rather than a software problem... try using the display on a different USB port, or maybe your USB cable is defective, or maybe the internal USB header adapter is flaky...
I don't think so.... I've been unable to duplicate the issue at all... and I use AutoDetect exclusively...
Yep... That was an oversight... I assumed that the system %ProgramFiles% directory was always used for the installation... oops... Thanks for pointing it out...
Here is the updated version:
Fixed: routine for finding the installed Antec/SoundGraph software would fail if it was installed on a drive other than "C:\".
This is definitevly a MP issue because if I use my iMON remote without starting MP, like using MCE or WMP everything works for hours...
Take care that the issue can be related to Autodetect + V3 DLL...
It seems that I was using a old version ( 04-11-2007 ) and with the 09-11-2007 so far is fine.
Only a small extetic issue: if I force the display to VFD I have correctly the unusable options grayed out. Then Isave and coma back in the advanced screen: now the options are not grayed out.
Thanks cybrmage for your time and work on fixing all our issues...
Simone
