Plugin: MizookLCD (Alternate SageTV LCDSmartie Plugin)

[cslatt]

I've released my own LCDSmartie for SageTV in case anyone would like to use it instead of AndersNolberger's excellent LCDSmartie Status Plugin. I made my own because I couldn't get precisely the output that I wanted out of Anders' plugin and I thought I would at least make mine available in case others might find a use for it. Like the other plugin, it requires nielm's GetStatus plugin to be up and running first. Unlike the other plugin mine also requires the .NET Framework 1.1 or higher.

Documentation and the download is available here: http://mizook.com/lcd/ and the download is also available through the forum download area. I will actively monitor this thread if anyone needs help or has a suggestion for additional functionality in the plugin (Though at this point I'm limited to what data I can return by what data nielm's status plugin returns.)

UPDATE 6/20/2011
Source released if anyone else wants to work on this.

UPDATE 2/13/2007
FIX: Cursor position for recordings was incorrect for anyone not living on the prime meridian.
CHANGE: Start and End Times are now expressed in local time instead of GMT
NEW: format parameter added to function8 (Get Most Important Function) to return letters instead of numbers to play nicer with the searchandreplace plugin for LCDSmartie.

hey nice job. That addressed some of the main reasons I disabled the old smartie plug in. I'll definitely have to add this back to the system when I get a chance.

I really love the flag options that can be used as smartie actions. Going to make the screen much more dynamic.

I'm having trouble figuring this whole function 8,9 thing out. Smartie is NOT very nice with the whole plugin system. A nice gui plugin would be ideal. Smartie

I tried to follow your web guide but can't seem to figure it out. This is basically what I want to do;


I have 3 tuners. I would like my main screen rotation to include (but not always be on) the screen for the tuners that are currently recording. So say tuner 1 is recording, it will add the screen for tuner 1 into the normal rotation.

Is this possible?

I think because you're dealing with adding screens into the rotation instead of locking to a particular screen that it is actually easier. *cross fingers* I don't have Smartie in front of me to test, but I think you need actions that are something like this:

If $dll(MizookLCD.dll, 1, 1, 1) = 1 Then EnableScreen(4)
If $dll(MizookLCD.dll, 1, 1, 1) = 0 Then DisableScreen(4)
If $dll(MizookLCD.dll, 1, 2, 1) = 1 Then EnableScreen(5)
If $dll(MizookLCD.dll, 1, 2, 1) = 0 Then DisableScreen(5)
If $dll(MizookLCD.dll, 1, 3, 1) = 1 Then EnableScreen(6)
If $dll(MizookLCD.dll, 1, 3, 1) = 0 Then DisableScreen(6)

Assuming 4 is your screen for Tuner 1, 5 for Tuner 2, and 6 for Tuner 3.

Oh awesome. I didn't even realize enable/disable was an option in the actions. Ill give that a shot when I get home.
