In general I see the last valid text on the LCD. My interpretation of the ? was something wrong with the encoding. And I assume in pylcd.py. It is maybe a freevo bug that the system has the tendency to freeze after too many of the above messages. Greetings, Han - Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!

The lcd plug-in is quite old, from the days when LCD displays were very restrictive. lcd2 is a newer LCD plug-in but possible can't do what you want.

Re: [Freevo-users] lcd plugin
I have been toying with the idea of redoing the lcd part in freevo since i also have a new lcd display. I was thinking of reworking it to do basically what it does now when buttons are pressed and for a short time after that. However, act more like a system clock when it is idle. Kinda like a car cd player. What is the general thought about this?

Re: [Freevo-users] lcd plugin
I think the lcd plugin including track length, position, name etc... would be best when playing a movie but If you look at a DVD player one issue that always bugs me is that they insist on having a constantly moving/flickering playing icon. This is stupid and distracting. the screen should change infrequently or slowly. +--+ | 0:23 / 1:45 | ASCII ART ROCKS! Movie title scro +--+ Change speeds should be configurable, but I think a change once every 5-10 seconds would be best. For scrolling the text should scroll about once every 2 seconds by one character. The first line could concentrate on current track information, so DVD chapter number/name, Chapter length/position, Total length/position. The second line, scrolling track name, and information about the track? imdb star rating, tag line etc... When playing music having a graphic equaliser on the first line instead of track length/position would be cool, only switching to length/position when you fast forward/rewind and 5 second track lead in/out. When idle, an email indicator would also be another ideal feature. Along with date/time/holidays (i.e. Halloween oohhh)/headlines/weather/sysinfo etc... I think a good way to think about an LCD with freevo is simply how far do you want it to go. As a standard DVD/cd player has no internet connection, they're at a disadvantage to us. I have an LCD screen, but I've gotta rewire it, and I'm waiting for a good enough reason. This could be a good starting project for me to work on with freevo, especially as I'd have Mathew (hopefully) working with me. Any other suggestions? Karl,

Re: [Freevo-users] LCD plugin - 1.3.4
You need pylcd, that is not in the last release (sorry, will be in the
next).
In the meantime, get the file I'm sending you and put it in:
$FREEVO_PATH/runtime/lib/python2.2/site-packages/
where $FREEVO_PATH is where your freevo is installed (if you used the
RPMs, this should be /usr/local/freevo)

Re: [Freevo-users] LCD plugin - 1.3.4
Yes, it's not included in the runtime yet afaik. You'll have to download and
install it manually, unless u want to wait for a new runtime release (it'll
be included in the next release).
