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

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 ?

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.
