While I am trying to work out some details with JimH (who doesnt get any of my emails), I would like to find out what kind of features you guys want in an LCD display program.

I am going to try and interface with LCDC (does everyone want this?) but if it doesnt work out, I am going to just create it all.

PhatPhreddy · « **Reply #1 on:** September 19, 2002, 10:28:05 pm »

Is LCDC the freeware item (not methinks) ?

If you need to base it on a driver model then perhaps basing it on LCDriver which is very commonly used with Girder / DVDSpy / OSD plug in and so NEEDS to be on many HTPC's anyway may be a good idea and avoid conflicts....

What should it be... simple for the end user but allow for multiple field selection and placement within the array...

Must allow easy launching and closure not only within MJ but as a seperate toggle... This sounds odd but think of this, MJ always resides in my System tray due to glissando being launched from other machines so I dont want to have to launch MJ manually... If you dont have a release toggle then MJ hogs the display 24/7 and this is not desired... Perhaps a fallback option would be unload after XX seconds of no updating...

McMM over on the Girder forum was considering reworking his DVDSpy plug ins for easier useage... He really understands VFD usage and programming.. I would suggest some dialogue wold probably really help...

Cephlen · « **Reply #2 on:** September 27, 2002, 12:34:45 pm »

Just got my LCDC key from Mat-D-Rat...

Havent heard anything from Henry from MO.

Work is looking pretty light for the next few weeks!

Henry_MO · « **Reply #3 on:** October 04, 2002, 02:14:36 pm »

I posted a message in the old thread to contact me... but I'm around...

The main reason to use LCDC is this, it has other software support. It can be used to show system stats, winamp visual, IR control, it has allot of features which no other program has!

http://www.lcdforums.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=610

It's not freeware, but it's the best of the best.

Just shiped a very early test to Mat-D-Rat.

Cephlen · « **Reply #6 on:** October 11, 2002, 01:16:53 pm »

Early test is looking good!

Mat-D-Rat is going away on vacation which puts this on hold for a bit.. more soon!

Any status update on the MJ driver?

I noticed that MO is doing a powerbuy over at the AVS forums and before I jump in, I'm trying to find out how to get the info out of MJ (version 8 and 9) and to the display.

Cephlen · « **Reply #9 on:** November 12, 2002, 11:29:02 am »

things are picking up again.

be patient.. Mat is in Europe, I am in Seattle.

The msg boards here have been broken for me the last few days. Even now, I get a script error with every key pressed. Very annoying.

I would write more, but I cant stand it anymore.

Cephlen · « **Reply #10 on:** November 12, 2002, 11:35:13 am »

hmm, wierd.. all the problems went away.

This site has been wierd lately.

Anyway...

Matt is in Europe, and I am in Seattle, so the time differences have been a major cause of slowness.

The other cause of slowness - our schedules otherwise. Work here as been busy the past week, and Matt has also been busy.

We are having some issues with data type compatabilities, but are almost over them. Once that is over, things will happen much quicker.

I am currently having some very mysterious issues with MJ9, so am going to downgrade to 8 if I cant work em out.

I am working on it today, and probly can dedicate more time this week and next.

I have some great ideas for interfacing with Hairstyle.. but admit to them being selfish.. Hairstyle is such a simple interface, and it would easily integrate with the LCD screen and input controls. So you should be able to navigate the menus without a monitor/tv... I would love to just turn on the HTPC, and use the LCDC to start playing stuff with no monitor or keyboard or mouse.

Cant wait

JimH · « **Reply #11 on:** November 12, 2002, 11:44:45 am »

Hey, thanks for the report. If you're using 9.0.74 o4 75, they can be problems because of registry changes. 76, the latest, is good.

Great to hear there is progress being made. It seems we share a dream of not needing a monitor/tv to work with MJ. I do have a Pronto-style remote, so I know I could program that and Girder to do most anything, but the simpler, the better in my book!

Can't wait either!

Cephlen · « **Reply #21 on:** January 10, 2003, 03:07:28 pm »

Thanks Mr. H!

This image shows off the LCDC output options that are available. There is some fine tuning to be done here still, but this is about everything I could get out of MJ8.

This image shows off the MJ icon in the LCDC program. I think it looks at home there! The display is showing off Song Name and Artist Name.

And finally, this one is displaying Album Name and Genre.

I am having some issues with things here. Not at all related to the plugin, of course

I cant give you a date, but I am wiping out my computer today and can, perhaps, give you a date later this week.

Just keep your fingers crossed that rebuilding this machine will fix the issues

Is this project moving anywhere....

I was thinking of trying to commit more time to my Girder GML including DVDSpy but it really twists my melons and if there is an easy route likely soon I would much rather not bother

!!!

Mat-d-Rat · « **Reply #27 on:** March 12, 2003, 01:03:20 am »

Trying to sort out some final details, but I've been unable to get the MJ plugin side to work on my system

and the trial is running out, which makes it hard to finish developing.

Hey, I just got a new case with a VFD display in it so I came to the forum and did a search on LCD and ended up here.... This is exactly what need.. I'll gladly buy someone a 12-pack if this thing can become a reality..

What's the latest word on this ?

thx

Cyndrax · « **Reply #29 on:** May 30, 2003, 01:39:30 am »

Hell Yeah, this is exactly what I need! I have considered moving away from Media Center, because of the lack of an easy LCD plugin.

If you need money to purchase a copy of MJ/MC Mat-D-Rat, I would be willing to throw a few bucks into the pot.

Brian

Mat-d-Rat · « **Reply #30 on:** May 30, 2003, 02:08:44 am »

The biggest problem was that I could never get teh MJ plugin part working on my system, so I could never fully develop or move on with my end of the plugin. There is a basic there but I can't test it, so I don't know if it would work, but Cephlen does have a working copy.

PhatPhreddy · « **Reply #31 on:** May 30, 2003, 09:07:13 pm »

I of course would be willing to help in any way with testing etc....

Have a MO display working with DVDSpy (a little) and Zoom Player (fine)... Really I only need MC and it would be perfect...

Cyndrax · « **Reply #32 on:** May 30, 2003, 09:32:15 pm »

How difficult would it be to take what is currently out there and make it work properly? I am not a particulary competent programmer, but I have a little time on my hands right now.

Brian

Mat-d-Rat · « **Reply #33 on:** June 02, 2003, 08:00:09 am »

Well I'd love to get this finished as well

nice to have support for as many things as possible. However every time I click on the plugin within MJ8 (8.0.399) all I get is "Interface Plug-in'LCDocx' must implement | Unknown interface"

I guess I could look at trying to write my own MJ8 plugin end but it's so much quicker when you have two people doing the work! Or if anyone else wants to try and write a plugin for me to test let me know

So anyway... lets see.. what did I type..

Brief, but to the point.

Longhorn and old VB are not getting along with eachother. Is the MJ working with a windows control using .Net yet? OCX's are dead now.

If someone else wants to tinker, go ahead. Would be nice to setup CVS so we can all do it. Can anyone do that?

I dont know why Mat can not run the control. As you can see, all but very basic functionality was commented out, yet he still got those very uninformitive errors.

>> Is the MJ working with a windows

have you tried MC9 and Vb .Net 2003 to see if it works?

VB net as you say does not create OCX and i can't get MC9 to see the new dll

I can't figure it out.

Cephlen · « **Reply #40 on:** June 02, 2003, 09:30:26 am »

I have not gotten any .net to work with the MJ, but its been a while.

knowing what little I know about the MJ, going from an OCX to a windows control might be a big jump, code wise, for them.

you guys see anything in that code that would produce errors? I just dont understand why it works fine on my machine, but not on mat's. We even installed the runtime dll's on his machine.

Does it work on yours sparta?

if your talking about his project yes, but there are somethings items info missing. so no i could not get it to work.

what would help woould be a ziped up file and not code pasted to the forum.

Cyndrax · « **Reply #44 on:** June 02, 2003, 12:19:30 pm »

Unfortunately, it looks we are beyond my ability to provide much help with the programming, however I have a working copy of Media Center 9 and a working copy of LCDC installed on my system. If there is a compiled version of the plugin around, I can test it on my system.

PhatPhreddy · « **Reply #45 on:** June 02, 2003, 07:47:02 pm »

If you guys can get co-ordinated...

Perhaps apost over on AVS to recruit some codeing assistance may be useful...

We tend to have a pretty high geek ratio and this is a well deserved project... Working collaboratively with a CVS sounds like its your best shot...

Just a thought..

Cephlen · « **Reply #46 on:** June 03, 2003, 08:24:25 am »

Any word on .NET and MJ?

Cephlen · « **Reply #47 on:** June 03, 2003, 08:27:06 am »

Cyndrax, actually, this is a pretty simple project.

If you got vb6, create a new activex control.

Open the form, add the controls that I specified and name them too (a text box, button, timer, etc..)

Add a reference to the mj's library.

Add a class to the project and use all that wierd code. The wierd code works great and you shouldnt really have to fiddle in there at all.

Anyone got FTP or something? I can upload the project files.

I have a site I can host the files at. There isn't direct FTP access to the box, so you can't put them there. If you email them to me I'll put them up and provide a link here.

Does MJ need to be installed on the same box as VB 6? Do I want to leave the commented lines commented out, or was that part of the attempted fix for Mat?

Thanks!
