Hello,
this is not a plugin for ProgDVB, but I think it fits in this category.
If you own a Logitech G15 (a keyboard with a little LCD on top) you can control ProgDVB with this little program wether it has focus or not.
Just start the program and press button 4 for more informations or look in the readme (Scroll down for English).
It is not a final version and I think I will work on it. Also it may crash itself. Please be a bit careful with it.
If you have comments or found bugs please let me know either here, via ICQ or PN!

Good idea. What information you like show on this display?

As I saw a request for a plugin that shows the EPG of ProgDVB I think this would be a good function, but I would need to write a plugin for ProgDVB itself, what is something I have no experience with. I can maybe implent the name of the current movie, if I find a static address for it in the memory. (I know reading out of the memory is not really "clean", but I have experience with it). Another problem is that I first need to draw everything to a image and then send it to the LCD (about 160x43 pixels), which is a bit tricky, if I display big amounts of dynamic text
I write programs in Delphi (C++ is an option too, but I only know the basics of it) and I have no experience with API-programming or plugins. What would be a solution is a plugin for ProgDVB that uses shared memory which I read with the G15-tool. Would be a fast and ugly way and the G15-app should be working without the plugin.
For testing I have writen a little program that checks if it can access ProgDVB (no need for a G15). It is also at http://catt0.funpic.de. Would be nice if some people can tell me if it works with a specific version.

Thanks, catt0
