gah! first let me express my frustration because i had to type all this out over again. #@$%
that being said and done, I'm building a machine that wants to do the following:
Play DVD on my tv.
Play MP3's using winamp.
I am searching for the best solution to display messages accompanying those requirements above. I would like it to:
Display a message when its Booting.
Display a message when windows is starting.
Display a message when the DVD ROM door is open and its
awaiting media. (Something like "insert media" or "reading DVD" or "CD")
Display a message of the current movie playing whether it be from the DVD Player or from any other video source such as mpeg on disk or from a stream on the web. Also the elapsed time for said movie. If its possible at all.
Display same messages in regards to audio from winamp. Information whether the source is a cd or mp3.
Display messages when windows is shutting down and when the box is shutting down.
Is all of this possible with one piece of software? Or would i have to use several programs together?
Is it possible for me to print custom messages to the lcd or a custom simple graphic or screensaver when its idle for more than a minute or two?
Thanks
