after trying many times,,,,

Same also with MediaPlayerClassic,,,,

just dont understand the need for this program now is all? sorry if ive missed something

Doesnt work with the latest nightly though.

Also, I dont like the way the imon software displays the playing time - it updates like it's constantly polling the xbmc json interface, so updates almost intermittently sometimes.

The way I implemented it (for VFD) using Montellese's code was to get the playing time once, and then use a timer to update every second. I found this works extremely well, the display is much more as expected, and though it may get out of sync, even after considerable playing time it does so by a few seconds at most.

Grangey, you are aware, that iMon does not support browsing information and many other improvements, that Montellese's implementation does ?

See i knew I had missed something Smile

Thank you all for clarifying... so all in all its worth me giving this a go instead of whats supported nativly?

Is there any chance that this perfect programm works in the future with eden? please,please,pleaseBig GrinBig GrinBig Grin

I have a binary I can post which works with pre-eden. The only thing I can say for sure about is that it works with movies and displays the current playing time on a VFD (I dont have an LCD).

Quite a lot of the existing functionality still works, just with the new JSON interface.

I'd like an OK from Montellese before I post it up though ?

@fezster

That is amazing. Please post it

- fezster - 2011-10-02

Ok, give it a try:

This is an open source project so you are free to develop it further and I'm grateful if you do so because I got quite a lot of work to do with XBMC itself and didn't find the time to make XBMC on iMON work with pre-eden yet.

Did you clone my svn repo and made your changes there? I was thinking about moving the code to github so anyone can easier clone the git repo, make their changes and send me pull requests.

I tried it out but it doesnt work for me. I get an error with Net framework

- fezster - 2011-10-02

What's the error ?

And do you have the latest .net framework installed ? (sorry Im not a .net expert, so dont even know what the minimum version required is). Edit - scrap that, it should only require .net 2.0.

- sb206 - 2011-10-03

ok i have the last version of net.framework. here the error

Which build of xbmc are you using ? I adapted this to work with the pre-eden version posted by bluray here:
