[QUOTE="cybrmage, post: 219073, member: 51680"] Here is an updated version. It should fix all the issues that have been pointed out by -Manfred- and Herr R aus B. As far as the "?" characters on the display, that would be the displays way of telling you that it has received a character that it does not support. The easiest way to fix it is to configure MediaPortal (in configuration under General/Skin/Display Language) to use English. An alternate way to "fix" the problem is to configure character translation for the ExternalDisplay plugin. To set up translation, load the ExternalDisplay.xml file in a text editor. Near the bottom of the file you will find a two sections named "TranslateFrom" and "TranslateTo": [CODE] Example: <TranslateFrom> <string>x</string> <string>y</string> </TranslateFrom> <TranslateTo> <string>a</string> <string>b</string> </TranslateTo> [/CODE] This will convert all instances of "x" to "a" and "y" to "b". Add a string section to each section for every character that will not display on the VFD. As far as advanced features.... You are pretty much on your own... I don't have the device, and "advanced" features would be far beyond what I'd be willing to do without having the hardware on hand.... Regards, CybrMage [/QUOTE]
