The MHC executable supports all those displays (except the MR700) and the LIS2 displays...<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Nope... never say that movie.... You've been using an external display for long enough that strange behaviour shouldn't be surprising.... On the contrary, good behaviour from an external display would seem to be a better cause for a heart attack!!... Besides, a programmer's gotta get some fun somehow... You can relax... I'm done playing around with splash screens... 8-}Which plugin is that?? I didn't realize there was one that allowed remote control... I saw someone asking about such a plugin several months ago, but never saw a reply...I've got a machine here (actually, one of my development rigs) that won't play video... It won't do anything that requires Direct3D.... After trying everything, it looks like I'll have to reinstall the operating system and all the frameworks again... I'm not looking forward to that... (last time I had to rebuild a development machine, It took me two days to get everything installed...)... I know how you feel... That really sucks...Yes... at one time we did get proper temperature reading (which is why I added the fan control options)... It stopped working at the same time as we got the correct behaviour of the sleep/hibernate/standby problem (waking the machine with the remote)...whatsoever: a huge <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> for all the stuff so far...Not yet. I haven't had a chance to look into it much further.Yes... and No.Yes, The ExternalDisplay driver API has support for setting custom characters... But it is not dynamic... The custom characters are only sent to the display driver when the ExternalDisplay plugin is first started... After that, there is no way to change the custom characters... and the only way to send custom characters to the display from the ExternalDisplay pluging is to edit the message definitions in the ExternalDisplay.xml... This is not an easy task for someone who is not familiar with the sourcecode... IE: What is the window id for the media player when it is playing a DVD?The other problem with custom characters is that each display (that supports them, not all do) handles custom characters differently... Some define characters row by row, some column by column... some support 8 x 8 characters, some support 8 x 8... some use MSB, some use LSB... and the ExternalDisplay plugin API does not define how the custom character data in the ExternalDisplay.xml is used...JoeDalton, who was the original author of the ExternalDisplay plugin, has planned on a "message editor", but it was never developed.Todays version has some changes to the MHC management code... basically, I first ask MHC nicely to close itself down... If it does not comply, we then force it to shut down... (this is to account for the possibility that cm|11's problem is due to the comm port not being released by MHC when we force it to shut down.)Regards,CybrMage</blockquote>
