LCDProc error - iMON Hardware - metalguy - 2014-11-21
ok. so I made the switch from WMC to XBMC Gotham and thus have enjoyed the experience. Everything seems to play and work seamless. The customization is amazing. There is one issue that I have come across. I cannot get LCDProc to communicate to my iMON LCD (in a Antec Fusion HTPC case).
This is my setup:
Windows 7 x64
iMON LCD running iMON Manager 8.12.1202
XBMC Gotham v13.2
Here are the errors relating to LCD found in the %appdata%\xbmc\userdata\xbmc.log:
NOTICE: Problematic iMON hardware detected. Joystick usage: disabled.
NOTICE: PERIPHERALS::CPeripheralBus::Register - new imon device registered on usb->\\?\usb#vid_15c2&pid_0038#6&3a6a7fd9&0&3#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}: iMON HID device (15C2:0038)
ERROR: ### [XBMC LCDproc] - Connect: Caught exception, aborting.
ERROR: ### [XBMC LCDproc] - Connect failed. Retry in 4 seconds
I have tried many different scenarios from creating or modifying the %appdata%\xbmc\userdata\advancedsettings.xml or %appdata%\xbmc\userdata\guisettings.xml to include the following lines:
<videoscreen>
<haslcd>true</haslcd>
</videoscreen>
also by creating the lcd.xml file and placing it in %appdata%\xbmc\userdata\
I have reinstalled the lcdproc app in xbmc, went through all the settings.
I have spent days to weeks on this. I have searched the forums and cant find anything at this point. I am hoping for a very simply fix.

Anyone?
I'm hoping for a simple answer.

lcdproc is a daemon which talks to the display - xbmc talks to that daemon via our lcd addon. I am not sure if lcdproc exists for windows - xbmc is not compatible with imon manager (which sounds like some sort of daemon too?)

That's too bad. The lcdproc add-on shows up in xbmc and I am able to install it. However, nothing displays on the lcd screen.
It would be awesome if I could get the lcd screen to work with xbmc. The lcd screen worked well with windows media center but wmc is just crap compared to xbmc / kodi. I was hoping to get the same lcd experience with xbmc / kodi as I did with wmc.

Yes the addon is only 50% of the solution - it tries to talk to the lcdproc deamon which is not available for windows. So nope - you are out of luck with this operating system afaik.

well.... that just sucks!!!!
i'll have to try xbmc on imon and see how that goes.
