Post subject:  Parallel Port LCD & LCD Smartie On KnoppMyth ?

Would i be able to have an LCD to display videos, music etc playing during use ?

Just wondering of any incompatability problems as i only know of windows use and winamp plugins...

if not, any other software options ?

Thanks.

Just to let you know if you don't get any responses that was rather cryptic. I'm not sure exactly what you are asking, and I sure others won't either.

I think what is being asked is if a small LCD can be added to the case I am assuming to display what is currently playing such as cd track name etc. In my roaming of the web I have seen folks doing this with Linux and am sure it could be done in KnoppMyth but I am a noobie so have no clue how to set up something like that.

Would be kinda cool :wink: maybe a future project :shock:

ahhhh I was thinking lcd monitor, and thought well that's a pretty stupid question.

As for the little lcd devices there is a way to use them with mythtv. If you search the forums you will find some info on them, though I haven't seen anything in quite a while. seems like there may be some stuff you have to add to get it working with knoppmyth, not sure though never looked into these. I think they are called VFD's or something like that.

I think a search for MythLCD here or on the gossemer list will yeild what you are looking for

sorry if it was difficult to understand.. too much time on pc hardware forums rather than software ones such as these :lol:

Just hijacking this tread.

Am searching a bit around the net, but wasn't able to find my answer.

I want to add an display to my MythTV box and I was thinking about the KS0108 (128x64 LCD Display). I know it isn't supported by LCDProc, but is it then impossible to use it with Myth? Of are there other options?

Kindly regards.

Eppie.
