Scroller - A Scroll-Plugin for LCDSmartie

[IzeQube]

I use LCDSmartie to display some stats from my pc and to display messages from xbmc.

I couldn't use the scrolling option because it didn't give me the results that I wanted and I didn't find a plugin that accomplished what I wanted to do. So I wrote myself my own Scrolling Plugin with all the functions i wanted and needed.

It has the following functions:
Scrolls a user defined message in LCDSmartie. Can also be used if only a part of your line should scroll.
Available Modes:

1 - Normal Scrolling: Normal scrolling, similar to the one from LCDSmartie. The nice thing is that the scrolling starts from the beginning if the message changes and you can use padding characters.
2 - Scroll 'n' Stop: The message is scrolled once and then stops. Scrolling is started again once the message has changed.
3 - Scroll 'n' Wait: The message is scrolled and then pauses for a specified amount of cycles. A cycle is the time when LCDSmartie will check the plugin the next time. Default is currently 500ms (and can be changed).

This means if you leave the Refresh Interval (defined in Scroller.dll.config) at 500ms and set WaitTime to 10, the message will be scrolled completely, then a pause of about 5 second will occur and scrolling will start from the beginning again.

There is also a Padding option you can use.

Full documentation, download and sourcecode can be found at http://scroller4lcdsmartie.codeplex.com

If there are any functions that you would like to see just reply or open a new issue or discussion on my codeplex site.

I will also be releasing my XBMC-JSON-Plugin once I have it polished up ab bit.

Have fun with it!
