Thank you for the source code.
It has been more than 15 years ago since I last compiled my own tools written in C, and I can only manage a few hours a week behind a monitor. That being said I might try to install a compiler and see if I can get xbmcOnImonVFD to build.

Wow! Thank you for adding the announcement port field.
Setting this to the same unique port I defined in userdata/advancedsettings.xml (9999) instead of the default port 9090, allows me to run Logitech's media server and xbmc simultaniously!
BTW, It was a nice surprise to see that when I pause the playback of a video file xbmcOnImon uses the two lines available on the VFD.
Paused
00:24:10
This message does not get updated when resuming play, but it does update when paused again or when playback is stopped.
Would be nice if there was something like a line break character so I could display %artist% on the upper line and %title% on the lower.

Try using Blackman's latest test build set the announcement port to 9999 and create an advancedsettings.xml file and add this entry.
<advancedsettings>
<jsonrpc>
<tcpport>9999</tcpport>
</jsonrpc>
</advancedsettings>
For more information about the advancedsettings.xml and where to create it see:
