Testing LCD display

You mean the time above ABCD? Don't know, can look and see.


Looks like Vix is using an auto skin with their basics. If I remove it, it changes all the parameters. I'll have to check and if I can, will post.

Got the clock out from screen one and added hard drive capacity info to screen two and the 1080 will display correctly.

Just saw a video that highlights some of the possibilities of the LCD display. Seems it can be setup to display a video cam on one of the screens, offering many possibilities. This would be great for parents with kids playing in another room that want to monitor for safety reasons. Or, monitor a security cam outside the house or any where else for that matter. Pretty nice idea....

I never received a response on the Vu+ website regarding using video cams with the lcd display. Checked with the author's site of LCD4Linux and found the following capabilities. Translated.....

It can currently:
- Picon
- The program name, broadcast name, channel number, date / time (digital / analog), Progress, current / next program (mini-EPG) See next shots, Tunerbar, satellite position, providers, data storage allocation, sensors, video / audio, bit rate, volume, Online Ping, Imap/Pop3-Mail, moon phase, HDD
- Call Fritz connection
- Image, directory or http link to an image definable (more)
- Text file and HTTP text (more)
- Displays the existing Cover + Cover Download
- 2x MSN Weather display for up to 5days (multiple design's)
- Netatmo support ( [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] ) / required Netatmo plugin
- Calendar with iCal display
- All freely adjustable in size, position, color
- 9 different views defineirbar / automatically changing
- Brightness On and Idle
- Different views for On / Media Player / Idle
- Supports 3 LCD displays (including 2 x same type) simultaneously Bucks TFT, Pearl and Samsung photo frame
- OSD display
- WebIF for display of the image, thereby also wireless connection possible; WebIF configuration
(Over 1300 settings!)

I guess we'll have to wait for the video cam feature when it is hopefully added to the images. I viewed a video where it works with a Samsung picture frame display, connected to other receivers, one of which was a Dreambox.

Had some time to do some tweaking of the LCD display.

Screen 1- Added more space for current program name.
Screen 1- Removed unused tuners - will display active tuner only.
Screen 2- Added CPU %.

Screen 1- Internet streaming program name will now display in
gold color.
Screen 2- Will display fan rpm, CPU % and load factor.
Screen 2- Will display streaming format.

These changes take effect when switching back and forth from a sat channel to a streaming channel.
