How To?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is there a guide somewhere on how to set up some of the aspects, such as the 
uTorrent and Winamp? I have both, but it doesn't pop up on the LCD.

Nothing beyond the included docs/general.html.  I haven't touched the code in 
almost a year, so no idea if the uTorrent code even still works.  Winamp still 
should, though.

How do you get Winamp to work, though?
It does not recognize that I have it on and playing music.

Copied from the aforementioned file, word-for-word:

Media View

Simple media view.

Currently only only has an interface to control VLC, MPC, and WinAmp. WinAmp 
requires you copy the included general purpose dll to its plugins directory. 
MPC and VLC require you to enable their http interface. By default, MPC is 
checked for locally on port 8082 and VLC on 8080. You can change port or even 
configure LCD Miscellany to communicate with them on different computers over a 
network by modifying the corresponding entry in the [URLs] section at the 
bottom of LCDMisc.ini.

I saw that, I was asking what that means to do.
Like, what is the "general pirpose dll"?

Ahh...Now we're getting somewhere.  It's a winamp dll type.  LCD Miscellany's 
winamp dll is in "Install/winamp (Copy to plugins directory)", and called 
gen_LCDMisc.dll.  The other one is a visualization plugin, and is optional.  
You'll need to make sure winamp is set to load the dll, after copying it over.

Ah, I figured it out. Thanks.

If you can figure out if uTorrent works, let me know. I read the thing and have 
no clue how to set it up, I did not realize I even had a user name for 
uTorrent...

The user/pass is just for utorrent's web interface.  You can try enabling it in 
preferences.  Should still be there, somewhere.

Do I have to have the user/pass in order for your script to work with it?

You set the user/pass in the utorrent config screen, and make them match in the 
LCD Miscellany ini.  If you don't set them, you'll still need to clear them in 
the ini.

I recommend setting them, just out of general paranoia, unless you use the 
uTorrent web interface directly as well.  You won't need to enter them ever 
again, since LCD Misc will just load them from its ini file.

O.K., is this the format for editing the .ini file?

Yea, that's correct.  IP can generally just be 127.0.0.1, rather than your 
external IP.

Hm, works on my browser, but not on my keyboard. Guess they are no longer 
compatible.
