volume button management ****help****

I think Wes has something just like that for a Denon receiver - should be a snap to convert to your LCD.
Well, maybe not a "snap", but if he sends you his file it will make understanding how the sliders work with 232 a lot easier.

that would be awsome, once i get the slider working for 232, i am golden and my bedroom will be complete.

Yah, now you just need to upload some pics of the install - Wes is always asking for pics of xLobby installs.
(Especially if you can include "xLobby" somewhere on the screen.)

[billberet]

i will gladly post up some pics
did you see the little clip i made of the bedroom setup
http://www.cyberdyne-sys.com/xl/upload/bedroom.mov
it's 40 meg so give it a minute to DL

You've got to make another video that shows the button-presses "opening/closing" the cabinet in real-time, but with the "Movies" screen on.

Touch-Screen button press: "watch movies" (or whatever it's called); Touch screen shows movies; Pan to cabinet: TV is coming-up, and is also displaying xLobby movies.
Then Pan back to touch-screen, end, or whatever button to close, and pan back to cabinet showing tv going back down.

I bet Wes would like to see that video - he'd probably upload it to the xLobby "Installs" section.

my setup is a little different, xlobby only shows on my touchscreens.
my windows background shows on my tv. I made a custom background
of -bb Productions, that shows before i play a video.

but what i could do is make a nice xlobby background that is displaying,
then when i click on the touchscreen to play the video, you can see it on the tv.

i use my ati video card to display my video in theater mode on monitor 2, which is a component cable out to the video matrix, (tv)
but i get the idea, i'll have to make a nice xlobby version for wes.
see this is my current xlobby screen, and my TV background


Just out of curiosity, does XL forums allow for bbcode resizing? I tried with no luck

ok here is a new video, more XLOBBYish
maybe the XL guys can use it.

it's a 50meg download.

I didn't have any luck with bbcode resizing either, but I was probably doing something wrong.

Good job on the video, I wonder if Wes is going to upload it.

[billberet]

that's ok, i'll just resize my images.
glad you liked the video. me too, i posted it on facebook and everyone was like WTF
how do i get one of those.
hahahahaha

Hey Wes,

I know you've got a lot going-on right now, so no pressure, but could you post the Denon Receiver page with 2-way RS-232, sliders, etc.?

We'd love to see it, cause it would make skinning those elements much easier if we could "disect" your working example.

Thanks in advance for posting,
Samson

yea, we can reverse engineer it and migrate it to other items.
