Topic: Any VFD Support (Read 146829 times)

ths61 · « **on:** March 19, 2011, 02:50:41 pm »

Is there any way to access/tie into the MC16 metadata/state information to drive a VFD display?

I am planning on building out a new Sandy Bridge based system and the HTPC case has a 2x10 character VFD display option.

Thanks,
Tim

Would be cool to know, since I have an iMon VFD.
IIRC correctly there was a thread in the MC15 forum, but instead of "VFD" or "HTPC case 2-line LCD" the OP used "LCD Display" instead. This caused me great confusion since it was some thing like 2010 and here was someone asking if MC14 works with an LCD display. Anyway, I think that thread had some useful info - I think I'll try to find it.

Found it - more recent than I thought:

Seems like LCD smartie is the way to go.

Also, again, IIRC:

The latest iMon software has a plug-in / can be configured for MC. I'm not sure whether that is just for the remote control or whether it's for the display too.

Hi fitbrit,
since I have an IMON VFD as well, I just finished developing a first version of a MC Plugin which just shows artist and track title on the display. It works fine for me, but could do with lots of more work (eg choose which fields to display, randomly change fields, scroll long content etc).

Anyway, anyone interested at all?

Michael

fitbrit · « **Reply #5 on:** March 28, 2011, 04:45:13 pm »

Yes, please!
I may be a few weeks from being able to test it, but I'd love to try.

There's also this...

http://www.origenae.com/en/htpc_m10.htm (drool)

Would the plugin be able to capture Now Playing data from a Zone, as well as what the MC machine is itself playing?

Hi Mib4755

Yes I am interested

I have an origenae Htcp case equipped with VFD.

So It would be cool to see arist and track title.

But my major problem is the use of remote control.
I want to use an MCE Remote (not the ImonPAd) , but some touch (not every) are not "recognised" or mapped by the Imon manager (I have the following message on VFD : "Command not Defined" . For example the Red, Blue Green and Yellow touch.

Do you know how can I get these commands decoded by JRiver ?
For example I would like togo into Theaterview , Audio directly by presssing the red button ?

Help is needed .. thanks

mib4755 · « **Reply #9 on:** April 19, 2011, 11:37:10 am »

Hi Facel,
I do not use any remote, so I can't help out there.
I only did a bit of work getting the Imon VFD up and running through a Mediacenter Plugin.

small and nasty addition:
I just realized that you have IMON.exe set up and running in order to make the plugin work. Otherwise it will crash.
I must admit, I don't like this very much

Sandy B Ridge · « **Reply #11 on:** April 19, 2011, 01:35:23 pm »

I have a Moneual MonCaso 320 case with a V L Systems MMX display on it. LCDWriter by babgvant is said to work on this, but does anyone know whether this works with MC?

I don't think it's the same driver as iMon. The software loads as M.Play MX or MMX.exe.

Any help would be grateful.

Hi Michael

Your plug in is very interesting .. but youy link does not works

do you have any other link ? or could you send it to me by email ?
thanks

mib4755 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2011, 03:32:15 pm »

Uups, forgot about Linux being very sensitive regarding case sensitivity

It will work now.

Facel · « **Reply #14 on:** April 19, 2011, 03:51:15 pm »

Thank you, I have got it

Do I simply have to unpackt it ito the JRiver plug in folder and run the set up exe file ?

mib4755 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 19, 2011, 04:45:01 pm »

Just unpack anywere and run setup.exe
Only setup.exe is needed, other directories/files contain the source code.

I could reproduce your problem by disabling Plug-in Mode in IMON Manager.
Open IMON Manager, select tree item Option / Plug-in Mode. Please enable "Use Display Plug-in Mode".

I've been looking for something like this for nearly a year Michael. I have no skill in writing the code for something like this and so my IMon VFD has essentially been useless until now. Thanks!!

Now I hope scrolling can be added so more information can be seen.

There's a new version http://www.saupurzel.eu/Setup.exe
- Basic Scrolling functionality built in, enable it on the plug-in screen
- a bit better error handling, errors are reported on the plug-in screen

Hi Mike,
please try out displaytest.exe in your \soundgraph\imon directory. Does it work?

Michael

MikeThin · « **Reply #24 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:18:14 am »

Michael,

I installed the new version:
Sorry, I don't have a 'displaytest.exe' anywhere... Was the new setup.exe supposed to create it?
I no longer get a crash box, but instead the plugin screen reports: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

Thanks for your continuing help

Mike

mib4755 · « **Reply #25 on:** April 25, 2011, 11:45:44 am »

Hi Mike,
I was pretty sure that DISPLAYTEST.EXE comes with the IMON software and should be found in ...\SOUNDGRAPH\IMON

Anyway, it comes with the Soundgraph Software API http://www.soundgraph.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7375

Download ZIP file. In there, in directory \API, you will find displaytest.exe. Extract to ...J River\Media Center 16\Plugins\IMON VFD and run it from there by double clicking it.

Michael

MikeThin · « **Reply #26 on:** April 25, 2011, 06:53:50 pm »

Thanks Michael.

I downloaded API zip and Displaytest.exe works fine - no errors, displays test message on vfd as expected

MC still gets the same error - have rebooted, re-installed imon, etc, no luck.

Are you using v8.x of Mon (which came out recently) or v7.xxx ?

iMon itself seems to work fine - displays the time/date mostly.

My pc:
   i5/2500
   Asus p67-M m/b
   Windows 7x64sp1
JR MC 16.0.72

Thanks for your help!

It may well be that I need to register one more DLL file.

I will be away for the week on a business trip.

Hello Michael,
thank you for this great plug-in, I've been looking for such a plug-in for months! It works great.

Do you think it is possible to display the selected directory so one can navigate among folders just with the LCD? I want to try to include it in your plug-in but I'm not sure it's possible to get this info from MC.

Thank you,

Blaze

mib4755 · « **Reply #29 on:** May 15, 2011, 03:06:44 am »

Hello Blaze,
what I could add, though I don't know wether it's what you want/need, is the possibilty to display any library field .
There's a function string Get(string strField, boolean bFormatted) which should do this.
But keep in mind the plug-in reacts on track changes only! And that's not what you want, I guess.
I don't see any other event, which would track menu changes.

Michael

blazef · « **Reply #30 on:** May 16, 2011, 03:17:18 pm »

Hi Michael,
thank you for your reply. That would be a good start to can display any library fields. As the filename contains the path of the file as well, it would help to navigate with the LCD display. I have no better idea as MC doesn't seem to send any info while just navigating among folders.

If you can add the possibility to display the filename easily it would be great. Otherwise I will try to do it by myself but I guess I will need lots of time to understand your sourcecode well...

Regards, Blaze

I tried this one , but i have the same problem of Mikethin

this is my config

Last version of imon , jriver and framework 4.

For information the displaytest, inside API of imon ,works.
And for clearing the fault , i need to remove the plugin and repair the framework.

thank you for you help

Hello Michael,

First of all, thank you for your great plugin!

Just a suggestion: it would be very great to add the possibility to combine more than one data field in the same line

Ex.: Line 1: Title + " - " + Artist + " - " + Album
Line 2: Bitrate + " - " + Bitdepth + " - " + Samplerate

Didier

mib4755 · « **Reply #40 on:** October 17, 2011, 04:59:18 pm »

Hello
I had a bit of spare time tonight, so a new version is available at http://www.saupurzel.eu/Setup.exe or http://www.saupurzel.eu/ImonVFD.zip including source code.
- several fields can be combined now. (only in the order as they appear in the listbox :-(
- on line two you can display a progressbar. Unfortunatley the character set does not allow a better layout

Michael

mib4755 · « **Reply #41 on:** October 17, 2011, 05:06:13 pm »

and what I will definitely have to change is scrolling. It get's on my nerves that it doesn't wrap around properly and instead starts from the beginning once it hits the end. But hey, Rome wasn't built in a day.

Michal

satbox · « **Reply #42 on:** October 18, 2011, 11:09:46 am »

Hello Michael,

Thank you for this new version, great work!

Can I suggest some future improvements?

- Possibility to choose the order of data fields in each line
- Addition of the following data fields: Disc, Elapsed time, Bitdepth, Samplerate
- Possibility to choose the field separator character

The top of the top would be to have the possibility to choose what we want to display in each line by using a string like this (like in J River where you can customize the two lines on the top of the screen...)

:

Disc [Disc #] - Track [PN Position] of [PN Tracks] - [Elapsed Time] // [Total Time] (Audio properties: [Bitrate (labeled)] - [Bit Depth] Bit - [Sample Rate] kHz)

But any way, thank you for your effort!!!

Hello Michael,

Starting from the plugin you have written, I have made some enhancements (scrolling, display of more info, etc). If you give me an email address where I can send you the source code, I'll send it you. Please, can you try it and feedback? Thank you!

I'm not a VB .Net expert... so it is certainly possible that the code can be enhanced! Also, I don't know how to create a new setup.exe...

Best regards,

Didier

Hi Didier,
that's great. You can send to mib___ATfreenet.de.
But unfortunately my PC caught fire. No joke! The cables to the power supply got destroyed. The new power supply has no possibility to connect the VFD. I'll have to be a bit inventive to get this going again.

But nevertheless I can create a setup.exe and put it on my server for others to download.

regards
Michael

Could you PLEASE create a Setup.exe. I would be also very interested.
I don't like scrolling in the old Version.

Christmas Holidays :-) There will be a minute... Just be patient.

... so here is Didier's version. I just compiled it and generated a setup.exe. I did not do any testing, because my VFD is currently not working.

My version is still there:

Merry Christmas!
