OSD Popup

[Mark F]

The plugin source is in C (or C++) and is avaliable in the developer's section of this board. Best of luck.

I know that there is a new pluggin under development or atleast in the discussion state, but I want to know can someone with programing skills and some time (Mark or Ron I suppose) can alter the old OSD Popup so it can pop up on the second or other (not primary monitor). I think this feature will be very usefull for all the user that have a multi-monitor setups and use this great program.

If suppose this is too hard to be done can it be changed so the popup window can be moved (and still show all it's contents not only the border and the background) to other windows. Many Multi-monitor managers have this option: send the window to next monitor using a shortcut.

Please some do something for this problem.

The old pop up plugin works fine with overlays and so. The only problem is I can't make it popup on the secondary monitor (TV). I think this should be a minor change. I've done some research and I have some programming skills (in Delphi) and probably would be able to make this change. In what language the plugin is written and where can I found the source?

For the direct X overlay there is a lot of free code available from Microsoft, Direct X 8.1 SDK, With VB and C++ samples including some that can be used for overlaying text and images on a Direct Show window.
Sorry, I am not a programmer but a researcher so I can not really assist in implementation.
