hello folks,
ProCooling (me) is doing a HTPC implementation using a CFA-631. One thing thats killing me is the pain and suffering to make screens like I want them for the 631 vs how easy it was using CC1 and my 633 on my previous HTPC.
Ive read around and didnt see any real info about getting the LCD integrated using CC2 into MCE functions. Like displaying "currently recording" kinda things, time available to record on the disk space still, etc...
I also want to get just basic screens like Disk % free (pending I cant get the MCE recording time available to show) for the 2 disks in the machine.
the CFA-631 is going in a Silverstone LC17 HTPC case (alread in actually, and already running w/ SCAB board wired remote controlling 4 fans.
This work is going to be written up as a multi part review/article on the site, any help on getting some nice MCE compatible screens setup would get big props in the article!
I am just too stupid it seems to be able to figure out how to even write a plugin for this thing.
Also a feature I want, is to make it so that the left 2 buttons function as up and down arrow commands in MCE, and the top right button does a "back" command, and the bottom right does a "play" command making the buttons actually useful.
