Update 7: Extended plugin to support some characters from Latin 1 Supplement. Update 6: The plugin is now able to display supported Cyrillic characters on a VFD.

Updated iMON wrapper so that starting iMON Manager in Admin mode is not necessary any longer. Update 5: Updated files with the versions from Cinnabuns with LCD support.

Update 4: Updated the driver to replace unsupported characters with '#' characters. On Windows with UAC enabled both the iMON Manager and the application using the iMON Display API must run in the same mode, either both in Administrator mode or both in "normal" mode. Did not recognize that during development, because UAC was disabled in my Windows 7 installation. If you don't and have user account control (UAC) enabled, the MiniDisplay driver won't work. If you start iMON Manager in Administrator mode under Windows 7, everything works fine. Update 2: I figured out the reason why it does not always work. So don't be disappointed if you have a VFD and it's not working. I don't know the reason yet, but I'll investigate. It works from a stand-alone application, but not from MediaPortal. Update: I just did a fresh install of my OS, only to find that the driver is no longer working with MediaPortal. Click "Test Display" and hope that it worksįeedback is welcome.Select type "iMON VFD for iMON Manager >= " or "iMON LCD for iMON Manager >= ".Go to the MiniDisplay Plug-in configuration dialog.Unpack the attached Binaries.zip file to your MediaPortal 1.1.3 installation folder overwriting the existing MiniDisplayLibrary.dll.Ensure that plug-in mode is enabled (iMON Manager -> Option -> Plug-in Mode -> Use Display Plug-in Mode).Update to the latest version of iMON Manager (>= ).If you own a HTPC case with an iMON VFD or LCD display you might want to try the new driver. Thank Cinnabuns if you have an LCD and the driver works for you. Furthermore I've updated the iMONDisplayWrapper, so that it's not necessary any longer to start iMON Manager in Adminitrator mode when configuring MediaPortal. For convenience reasons I've updated the binaries below with the versions provided by Cinnabuns. Update: Thanks to Cinnabuns (see post #65) the driver supports LCD displays now as well. I've used that API to develop a MiniDisplay driver that supports iMON VFDs with the current iMON software version. I've recently bought a HTPC case with an iMON VFD and was quite upset about that.įortunately SoundGraph has released an iMON Display API ( iMON Display API - Soundgraph Forums). Most SoundGraph iMON LCD/VFD owners have probably noticed that MiniDisplay does not work with iMON Software version >. IF YOU HAVE ISSUES, PLEASE OPEN A NEW THREAD IN BUG SECTION. THIS REWORK IS ADDED TO MEDIAPORTAL CORE SINCE 1.8.
