DVD Spy now supports MJ8... LCD output control
« on: May 27, 2002, 01:23:59 am »

This is just a heads up for those of you that dont visit the Girder forums...

One of the Girder plug ins that some of us on AVS use is DVDSpy... It is a plug in to girder that watches DVD players and captures windows messages to do usefull stuff like output to a LCD or VFD display device... Things like transport commands or chapter and time etc can then be displayed making out PC's more like a STB in look and operation...  Currenlty it supports a few of the HDTV cards for some messaging as well...

Well yesterday MJ was mentioned and as v8 has a SDK (and as the Girder plug in people are smarter than I Next Page) Mike McMahon has added support for v8 almost instantly...

This means that with a combination of LCD or VFD HW / MJv8 / Girder with plug ins.... You can now make a media server with external display...

Relevant links for this are...

Girder site and DL Area  http://www.girder.nl/download.php Look for DVD Spy under Action plug ins... You will also need the LCD Driver IIRC and the v8 support is in DVDSpy 1.26 onwards...

The discussion forum has a message here http://www.girder.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=9336#9336 and this is the place for Girder DVDSpy / LCD Driver questions...

Hope that this is interesting to you guys...
