I'm not sure if I post in right forum, so correct me, please, if I'm wrong.
I'd like to implement some kind of plugin or script mainly for iMON display, but possible with support for other external displays .
The idea to show on external display following information:
* Current state of playback (play, pause, stop)
* Current media name
* Playing time (current / total), playback progressbar
* Playlist position
* Codecs
* XBMC state (video, music, weather...)
* Commands (play, stop, vol+, mute...)
Could it be just some plugin/script or it should be modification of source code?
In case of source code modification - what's better: new module or current LCD module modification?
Please advise me, where to start?
PS And yes, I know about http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=84166, but I'd like to make deeper integration.
