It also crashes every time you set a new music album to play. Functionally, this add-on seems to be broken for Frodo atm.

XbmcOnImon is not designed and tested with neither Win8 nor XBMC Frodo so the functionality is not guaranteed. In addition, my HDD in HTPC has gone, i.e. I need to order new one (SSD probably) and reinstall. I'm thinking about Linux version of XBMC or openELEC since I had lots of troubles with Win7... However, I don't know if the display and remote is working with Linux. I'll see...

I've been trying to get this plugin to work on windows 8 X64 with latest imon manager and XBMC 12 FRODO RC1 but no luck.
Everything seems to run fine but as soon as I start XBMC i get an "Unhandled exception has occured" message (String reference not set to an instance of a Sting. Parameter name: s.)
If someone has a solution please let me know, or if i can help out also no problem. Let me know how!
(Case is a Antec micro fusion remote mini btw)

Hello,
I have a couple of question for my config. I have an OrigenAE M10 case with imon and Win 7 32 bits on a SSD.
When I install Frodo alpha 4, my VFD screen work fine. I have all the media details. AND, I don't use XbmconImon log. I use simply imon manager and all is ok.
When I install Frodo Beta or Frodo RC1, My screen display XBMC(Stop) and no media details are displayed.
So, I don't understand why person use XBMConImon log if imon manager work ?
Why VFD on OrigenAE case doesn't work with Frodo RC1 ?
Thanks a lot.

The iMon manager software only works with earlier versions of XBMC minimally. A lot of the format icons (for the LCD display) are non-functional with the iMon manager integration, and other quirks. iMon Manager won't work with recent Frodo releases at all because the HTTP API it relies on for communication has been removed in favour of JSON RPC, so the iMon software won't be a solution going forwards, unless they update it (Not too optimistic this will happen quickly, if at all).

I am really anxious to get this working. I have installed and I keep getting the following error when starting XBMC. I figured it would continue on and work, but the display never changes.
Once I open XBMC and XBMC and XBMCOnImonDisplay start communication, I get a dialog box that says...

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging

</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
