Hello everyone,
I am having an HTPC in an Antec Fusion case which included the iMon LCD and remote control.
after trying out several software to run my htpc I ended up with XBMC being the bvest solution for me except for one thing.
TheC isn't working at all with XBMC, no display of a song or like that. No reaction at all.
Tehe remote control is alright as I could configure myself except for the shortkey buttons like "Videos", "Music" etc.
I am running XP Prof 32bit.
Any help on the LCD and remote issue is hnighly appreciated!!
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!
ciao

You're pretty much doomed with the LCD, but that one is crap anyway. The iMon you can configure to use keyboard shortcuts for xbmc via the iMon setup program.
I did that and it works ok.

Download the latest iMon software and install it. Make sure you have the LCD connected to USB port properly. Once it's connected to the USB port it should start to illuminate at the first startup and after the software is installed you can select the if you want it to turn off with the PC.
Default the LCD show pressed jey on the remote, it's only in supported programs like Windows Media Center and the Imons meda player it will show some useful info. I honestly though when I bought the case that I would get a 2x20 display and not this crap.
It's not Antec quality at all

I too have the iMon lcd, its very disappointing!
But i did have a play with a program called LCD Smartie, which (after quite a struggle) displays useful information. But it does not work now for some reason (driver issue i think)
I now have the display turned off all the time because i got sick of the useless information that was displayed some of the time!
Best of luck with it, and if you have any joy please let us know as it would be excellent news!

I feel your pain. I had grand dreams of listening to music, with the oscilloscope and song name scrolling on the display. And watching movies with the movie duration and title displayed on the LCD. Oh well, I guess I'll just display the time.
Please post here if you make any progress.

I am just using the driver the Antec case came with... not the soundmon one.
I concur that the LCD is a pile... all mine will do is scroll how much ram I have, CPU and other crap. WOW. Like I need to be reminded.

I wonder why in XBMC i can't display the equalizer in the IMon VFD display. With Mediaportal always worked ok (configuring only one plugin).
Somebody here can view the equalizer in the VFD, running XBMC?
