Working plugin for Mediaportal with LCDSmartie!
you find it here:

I have vista 32bit, mediaportal 1.0.2, and lcdsmartie 5.4.1, and it works. I have some issues with special swedish characters like ???, but thats a minor issue i will solve.
It is a bit hard to set up, but i will guide you. There is a manual for the plugin, but i find it very confusing.
Simple step-by-step setup guide:
1. download it, and extract the contents of
\C.All.zip\AddOns\Smartie 5.3\plugins\ to your lcdsmartie plugin directory.
Also, copy the contents of
\C.All.zip\MediaPortal into your
\programs\MediaPortal folder.
2. Make sure you disable the MiniDisplay plugin for mediaportal in your Mediaportal configuration-program (enable advanced options if you can't find the plugin), or it may try to use your display. Then enable the C.All plugin. Hit Config button to set it up.
3. C.All settings
Hardware tab: select the size of your display
Client tab: check iMon,....,Smartie checkbox only.
Data tab: make sure "send screens" is enabled.
Screen tab: here you can change the info to show on your display. I don't fully understand this yet, but it is here you make the changes
4. Set up lcdsmartie:
These lines are good for starting. I use the first two only for my 2x16 display.
screen:
$dll(MPSmartie.dll,1,Line1,0)
$dll(MPSmartie.dll,1,Line2,0)
$dll(MPSmartie.dll,1,Line3,0)
$dll(MPSmartie.dll,1,Line4,0)
Set the screen to sticky, but not enabled.
actions:
if $dll(AppState,1,MediaPortal,) = 1 then GotoScreen (18)
(or whatever screen you use)
if $dll(AppState,1,MediaPortal,) = 0 then NextScreen
get AppState plugin here:
http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic. ... t=appstate or use another alternative if you want. These actions make lcdsmartie use this screen only, until you quit mediaportal. If you want to continue to cycle between screens you use EnableScreen (18) and DisableScreen (18) instead of Gotoscreen and Nextscreen.
This make lcdsmartie display exactly what C.All gets from Mediaportal. If you want to change what's shown, edit the screens in C.All screen tab.
If you have any problems, read manual, ask here, or ask in the official thread for the plugin:
