[Freevo-devel] Re: LCD Plugin?
Here is all the code I've written for operating a 2x20 VFD with freevo. Vfdchanges.txt contains all the ammendments I made to the original freevo/mplayer codes, and recshare.so and parport.so are my python modules. I have also included the source code for these modules, which I compiled using SWIG. I think that a lot of this code could be made more efficient, but at least it works. I had to use shared memory in a lot of places, because I didn't know how else to get mplayer and freevo to communicate with each other. If there's a better way, let me know! I hope this is useful to someone, and please feel free to fix it and send me recommendations! Thanks, Rob M parport.c Description: Binary data parport.so Description: Binary data recshare.c Description: Binary data recshare.so Description: Binary data # Revisions February - March 2003 # Rob MacNeill's additions for a 2x20 VFD or LCD. # (Also included is a small bit of code for deleting unwanted video files) # All of this code was written for a final school project to turn a PC into # a standalone DVR that can be part of a home entertainment unit.

hi Starkeeper, displaying freevo status as an LCDProc client is on my TODO-List. However I think I won't be able to work on it until somewhere in april. If you or someone else is interested on working on this, there some basic LCDProc client stuff in python to be found in the MPy3 Project. http://thelocust.org/projects/mpy3/libraries.php It might be worth a look at least. l8r...
