Hi there
I am now using the winamp plugin for a VU Meter.
When i used it in the winamp example config, i reacted very fast.
But if i use it in my own config, it reacts rather slow?
anyone can help me?
Our new official repo is on github
LCD Smartie version 5.6 is released!
Download it now: https://github.com/LCD-Smartie/LCDSmartie/releases

The full format of function 1 is: $dll(winamp,1,[height]x[width],[options])
[options] takes the form: Direction#BarStyle#SpectrumOpts#max#fallSpeed
Where:
Direction is one of: d, u, l, r [for down/up/left/right]. [default: u]
BarStyle selects the custom characters to use. 0 means no custom characters (so you can define your own), 1 means a solid bar, 99 is for "Tiny graphs", etc. The full list of styles is at the end of this page. [default: 1]
SpectrumOpts - consists of the letters WFL, where W is adjust spectrum to use 'A' Weighting (to make it more consistant with our hearing), F is to use a slower fallback (slow down how fast a peak can fall), L is use linear frequency scale. To disable an option use the lower case version of the letter, so 'l' is non-linear frequency scaling. Default: WFl.
max - used for scaling spectrum. [default: 80]
fallSpeed - if fallback is selected in SpectrumOpts then this defines how fast it can fall. [lower is slower] Default: 200.
All options are optional the order must be maintained - so to leave BarStyle out, you must also leave out SpectrumOpts, max and fallspeed.

You can set the DLL check interval by clicking on the "Misc" tab at the left side of the Smartie configuration window.
I think you also need to change the refresh interval, which can be done in the Program Settings section of the main config window.
For LCDs, there probably isn't much point setting either of these below about 100ms since the LCDs have a very slow response time. You know how TFT monitors quote things like 5ms response. The response for alphanumeric LCD modules is more like 100ms! VFDs are much faster.
