Hi!
I wonder how a graphical LCD (or VFD) plugin for Freevo could be implemented.
VDR has a nice plugin, called graphlcd, which uses graphical menus, http://www.powarman.de/vdr_graphlcd.htm see http://home.arcor.de/andreas.regel/images/glcd240x128_action.gif for an example in action. Even if the web site isn't yet updated, the author already announced the upcoming release on the VDR ML, and invited for testing the pre-release. Why am I telling you this? Because starting with the upcoming release, this plugin will no longer be a VDR-plugin only, the author splitted the code off into a library (similar to the LCDproc server part, so there is no protocol yet) which could be used by other projects, too. The C++ interface to this (the glcdgraphics library from http://powarman.de/files/graphlcd-base-0.1.2-pre2.tgz ) allows it's usage like the graphical display would be a framebuffer, it has drawing methods, font and bitmap handling.
Now my question is, how difficult is it to draw parts of the Freevo OSD to such a device (I mean hilighted menus and listings in the first place, and other status info like in the LCDproc plugin, only graphical as in the VDR plugin), to be able to use the freevo box even with the TV turned off when only listening to music...?
