Since I’m a huge xbmc fan I thought I would do something to help out.

This is my first crack at a patch so bare with me.

I implemented a simple LCDproc, it's pretty basic right now so the contrast/brightness don't do anything yet but it will display up to 4 lines. The existing lcd.xml works fine once it's renamed to lower case. Also the LCDd port is hardcoded to the default for now but I thought this would be a good place to start.

Let me know what you think.

Hey did this ever get approved and added into the svn?

Ditto! This sounds like the start of a good way to get LCD support - an LCDproc client Nod

**spiff** · 2008-02-01, 05:47

none of the current devs got lcd's. so its hard to approve

patch is avail for anybody with lcds though, you'll find it at our patch tracker sf.net/projects/xbmc

I tried compiling with this patch applied and I'm getting some errors:

Any idea what's wrong?

**monkeyman** · 2008-02-02, 10:14

try a make clean

gzusrawx · 2008-02-03, 07:02

When should I do the make clean, because I do that when I build it anyways, and I just tried it again with a make clean and doesn't seem to make a difference.

This patch was based on revision 11313, since then i think there was a conflict in the makefile.

I'll update it and post it later tonight.

gzusrawx · 2008-02-04, 03:42

Ok thanks

garthomite · 2008-02-04, 04:44

Patch has been updated. It just resolves the conflict in the makefile.

Make sure you have a clean working copy and do not already have XLCDproc.h and XLCDproc.cpp in xbmc/linux/.

Also in the userdata folder the config is case sensitive, you will have to rename LCD.xml -> lcd.xml.

Cool worked fine for me.

FearlessSpiff · 2008-02-18, 17:04

Great! For me too! So nice to have the VFD. Thanks a lot!

Gamester17 · 2008-02-18, 17:13

Too bad no one on Team-XBMC got a LCD or VFD in their HTPC chassi.

...but please keep the feedback coming as to which displays work Big Grin

I just committed this patch. I'm not sure that we treat different sizes of LCD in the code or not. Can people verify that this is indeed true?
