Frontview with Vista MCE on iMon Ultrabay

[JaLooNz]

Hi,

I got iMon Ultrabay working with Vista MCE but found it to be rather useless. Maybe the addition of several features will make it better. In short, I want it to function somewhat like a VHS recorder.

1) Show date and time when idle in Vista MCE, instead of showing currently menu location (ie "10 Jun 10:30AM" instead of "HOME", "LiveTV - Stopped")
2) Indicator when Vista MCE is recording (alternates between recording program name, time and other status)
3) Allow for 2 line text... ie.
10 Jun 10:30
REC: Program Name
PLAY: Program #1
REC: Program #2

4) Show date and time when Vista MCE is not started (somewhat buggy since sometimes it will only show iMon Soundgraph as the text on the LCD on startup)
5) A good reference might be the display options in Mediaportal LCD/VFD driver (only reason I am not using Mediaportal is that I cannot get my EPG to work reliably, and MCE works with Webguide)

Thank you.

Some examples of what I want from Mediaportal External Display...

Sometimes stucked on this screen on startup instead of displaying Frontview stuff.
