Who has a LCD?/Who is interested in a LCD? (1 Viewer)

...
- any information about this (or other features like dvb-t/dvb-s,...) are welcomed. With information i mean:

- example source code (maybe other opensource projects)
- documentation
- maybe 'standard' interfaces

Frodo,
there's no standard for the LCD thing... Every manufacturer does what he wants: Parallel/seriell/USB interfaces, incompatible protocols, various hardware features... So it's nearly impossible to support all displays in one software.

But for (nearly) every display one can use one of the existing LCD softwares - that's why I suggest a MP plugin, that communicates with these LCD softwares.

This plugin is indeed already existing - but it's in need of information and events. Here's an example of what I mean with info/events:

So what's needed is a standardized message system - very much like what's already existing with GUIMessage, but with some additional information string arrays in these messages.
