IMon Frontview Player and Media Center

[Reutsi]

Hello
When I was building HTPC one of the most important things was the ability to use music player without tv. That is why I bought Zalman HD160XT Plus case with Touch LCD screen and Frontview player. I am using extended screens so that Frontview player is all the time in Touch LCD screen and Media Center on tv screen. So, when tv is on I use Windows Media Center with MCE remote.

The problem is that I would like to use Frontview player for playing music but I cannot use Frontview player if Media Center is running. Frontview player is not in sight if Media center is running but if I close Media Center I can use Frontview player again. Is it possible to do something to this problem? If you have a solution to my problem I am more than satisfied with your product.

Dear Reutsi,

When Media Center is running, FrontView displays media information of Media Center.
But if you touch LCD and select FrontView Player, you may use FrontView Player.

And in next update we’ll upgrade FrontView Player feature.
If you select FrontView Player, iMEDIAN HD will be run in Touch LCD and you can control it with touch.

In a fact when Media Center is running and you touch LCD there is no Frontview player icon in menu. If you close Media Center the Frontview player icon appears. If the icon would be insight all the time I would be very happy.

When tv is switch off Media Center is still running and it can for example be recording tv because I use it also as a digibox. So Media Center cannot be closed even tv is off. Is it possible to get Frontview player insight and usable if Media Center is running? Or do you have any other options I should try?

Thanks.

Dear Reutsi,

I checked that when Media Center is running, there’s no FrontView Player icon in menu.
But you can launch it by selecting FrontView Player in App.Launcher or tray icon menu>iMON Utilities.
And I will fix it in next update.

Hi Johnny,
I am looking forward to have the next update, because none of those options did not work. There is also no Frontview player in App.Launcher in iMon Frontview. I tried different settings in iMon Manager but I couldn't get Frontview player icon in to the App.Launcher. My goal is to use Frontview player as a music player when tv is switch off. I am using windows desktop in a extended mode. Tv is primary and Touch LCD secondary screen so I can't use tray icons.
