[LINUX] LCD/VFD support under XBMC for Linux? - Gamester17 - 2007-12-17 Could the LCDproc library be implemented into the XBMC Linux port using the existing LCD API for the Xbox version? http://lcdproc.org http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcdproc/ http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Imon Quote:LCDproc controls various LCD and VFD devices in a standardized way, and ships with a client to display various system statistics. Supports multiple platforms (Linux, *BSD, Solaris). Client/server model allows multiple systems/clients to use one display.Many (if not most) HTPC chassi comes with a LCD or VFD display today, and for those chassi that do not come with one you can buy a drop-in display for 5,25" slots, (for example iMON which may be one of the most sold solutions, it like most other 5,25" slot LCD you can buy comes with a LIRC compatible InfraRed-reciever built-in). Some newer are USB connected, however mopst older are connected via the serial or paralell port. EDIT: There are of course other open source LCD/VFD libraries for Linux out there, LCDproc was only the first one I found when searching - Gamester17 - 2007-12-17 After just a little research it looks like LCDproc is the best alternative as a LCD library for XBMC Linux port, (it is still activly maintained and supports a large amount of LCD/VFD displays) ...but just in case here are some alternatives to LCDproc: http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/wiki http://sourceforge.net/projects/lcd-linux http://lcd-linux.sourceforge.net http://sidvind.com/wiki/LCD-Display_Linux_kernel_module Another related project which might be interesting is this one: http://www.linuxnetmag.com/en/issue5/m5lcd1.html |
