Zalman HD135 VFD (VlSys Mplay) (1 Viewer)

I made two logs playing an mp3 with left only or right only channel with the vu meter style 2 as I hope they can help you resolve that issue

Last I heard, that issue was resolved ?!?!

You'll need to post a picture (or short video if possible..)

The update to fix the custom characters may have broken it.... But the logs show the correct characters being sent to the display... SO I need a picture to figure out what character definitions are being used by the display.

well mine never worked fine. it could be a problem with my unit......maybe.....
here are the 2 videos. I made them with my mobile but VLC can handle 3gp videos. don't expect HD quality
I had to change 3gp extension to txt in order to upload them. just change the extension or open them form vlc directly.

It looks like it may be a problem with your display.... have you cycled power to it recently??

The bars that are displayed on lower line do not correspond to the data that shown in the logs... and this is only possible if the display is either not receiving the data correctly, or is not displaying the received data correctly....

Do the other EQ modes display correctly???

Is anyone else experiencing the same, or similar, problems???

Yes I almost restart the pc everyday. I've noticed that when I turn it on the lcd doesn't work with plugin. I get no errors but the display shows nothing. I have to unplug and replug to make it work, or disable and reenable from system properties in control panel.

Other eq styles work great. It's not a big issue for me this problem, as I prefer other eq styles, I tought I could be helpful if someone else wanted it to work correctly.if you want more tests let me know.

Sorry, i'm stupid.
My VFD and Remote don't work in MP.

Can you write step by step : how connect , how install , how configured VLS in HD135 ?
And can you make realy FAQ ?

- Do i need to connect VFD cable to usb port or com port on the matherboard ?
- Do i need to install Mplay Media Home Centre (from CD HD135) ? (I have installed usb driver only)

- What virtual com port is ? I look only USB, Com1-Com5, None, localhost in droplist. But nothing work com1-com5


I am not junior in computer , but i don't understand

Help pls !

==================
wow! Everything has worked on Com3 !
Simple , You should restart computer next every step of configured.

Hello !

I've installed the plugin last version and must say that a great job was made.

I finally now can use my MPLAY BLAST.

The only feature that seems to be still buggy is the AFC.

It doesn't seems to be able to read the temperature from the sensor.
