Matrix Orbital LCD-display and DVBViewer

[Phjort]

Hello

 

I've been trying to find a sollution to make my matrix orbital LCD character display work with DVBViewer without success. The LCD screen itself is well supported by programs like LCDSmartie,LCDC and even Girder, but I have not yet found a way to interface DVBViewer with any of those programs. I have been able to find some mentions of a DVBViewer plugin to lcdsmartie, but never any files to download. Would someone know where to get that plugin or some other way make my LCD work with DVBV?

 

I have also experimented with the DVBViewer plugin for girder 4. That uses COM-system to communicate with DVBViewer and supports LCD displays. but I lack the technical knowledge how to alter the plugin so that it would output the LCD stuff to my display instead of the Girder console. (I have read all the information supplied with that plugin, but still had no luck with it).

 

I'd really appreciate any help on this subject.

LCD Smartie has plugin for DVBViewer, that works pretty well with Matrix Orbital display. Small problem is when recording one channell and waching another. As it shows REC for channel that is currently in display not the recordred one.

True it was my fault that I didn't find the lcdsmartie plugin. Although in My defence their forum software is the first that doesn't show that a thread has attached files unless you are logged in and obviously I wasn't

 

 

Well well now I've run into a problem with the plugin and LCDSmartie's actions. Is there a way to differentiate based in information provided by some LCDSmartie plugin whether DVBViewer is showing live tv or a recording/media file?

 

I've been examining the variables available to DVBViewer plugin, but I have not found any info there that could unambiquosly show in which mode DVBV currently is.

 

Have any of you perhaps found a sollution to this problem?
