I have been trying to get this working for a long while now - too long.

I am looking for a way to export the LCD variables via the TCP/IP interface into jaLCDs. I am using the script marsuipal posted a while back as the base. (jaLCDs - TCP/IP because I can control screens - UDP only allows variable changes).

Problems:
as long as the OSDmenu ini has more than 4 entries - it will display - less than 4 and it wont display - It still works - but just will not display to the screen.

Has anyone had success with this combo? If so, please export your group so I can figure out what i am doing wrong... Thanks in advance.

I figured out what was wrong - I willpost the LUA script fix when I get home tonight.

In fact this might affect all people trying to use the OSDmenu with output to variables instead of to screen. The call to parselcd... does not trap for NIL - when NIL is recieved - the function fails and the variables do not get set. I put in a simple trap for NIL and set any NIL to " " . The function then works fine - I may have a problem if I try to select the blank entry - but I will try that tonight - when I attach the script.
