Unfortunately, LCDproc doesn't support this. The only thing supported is the display of big numbers e.g. for big clock display. In theory, if this support can be enhanced for big letters (in the LCDproc server, that is), script.xbmc.lcdproc could be enhanced as well to do this. But for now, no.

Hmm, judging from the photo - are you sure this is really a MDM166A, and if so, that the correct driver is used? I'm missing the additional elements around the text area (like the volume bar, network/play/pause/rec indicators etc.). The photo looks like LCDproc uses it's "emulated" big digits but falsely assumes more line than physically available. Mind to pastebin your kodi.log so one can see what display type is detected?

yes, its a Futuba MDM166A.

here my log-files:

It look like the upper half of the Time, i had made the picture at 13:38

Looks good from what I can see (script.xbmc.lcdproc correctly tells you about the presence of the mdm166a), but something seems to be borked... On your photo, I'm missing all the extra icon stuff I mentioned around the 96x16 area, see this photo to understand what I mean (even if I didn't have such a display to implement the support specific for the mdm166a, there are at least a few reports that stuff sort-of works).

Yep. Seems LCDproc has some sort of issue with it's mdm166a driver that causes this, albeit on initialisation, it correctly reports as 16x2. No real idea or clue ATM, sorry...

RE: XBMC LCDproc Python addon (testing needed) - noxx2 - 2015-01-28

Yes, i have this icons.
in front of the display I have a slightly darker plexiglas

Nothing what i can do?

Ok, good to hear Smile

Well, from the looks something seems to go wrong in the LCDd I think. script.xbmc.lcdproc simply tells LCDproc to e.g. draw a big number "8" at position x onto the display. How it's done or what method is used is completely left to LCDd. As said, I don't own such a display myself, so digging and poking around in the LCDproc sources would just be random trial and error...

RE: XBMC LCDproc Python addon (testing needed) - noxx2 - 2015-01-29

perhaps a problem of OpenELEC 5.0 ?

i use the mdm166a on a Cubox i4 pro,
i will test it today evening on my RaspberryPi.

RE: XBMC LCDproc Python addon (testing needed) - Rossi1 - 2015-01-29

Hello, it works LCDproc addon on this HTPC with LCD touch screen (Thermaltake DH202), or is there an alternative?
I am running Kodi/Openelec.
Thanks for any reply !

hello,

i try the mdm166a on my raspberry pi, same problem. i can only
see the upper half of the time

@Rossi1

Kodi dont support Touchscreens. I know only solutions for Mediaportal,
