LCD Character Display / LCDproc

Hello,
I'm currently using MythTV and love it. I'm just about to upgrade from 0.11 to
0.12 and noticed this on the main mythtv.org page:

"The LCD character display support was greatly improved by Dan Morphis."

Is this LCDproc support? I've got a parallel port LCD module that functions
with LCDproc, and it would be great to use this with MythTV. If "MythLCD" will
work with my LCD (thru LCDproc), how do I enable it? Is there a config file or
menu? Can I choose what information is displayed on the LCD? I poked around in
the MythTV files but I can't find much information.
If anyone knows how this works or is using an LCD with Myth themselves, I'd
really appreciate some info.

Thanks,
~ Drew Hearle

That would be me :-)

Yes, myth will connect to LCDproc. The initial support was written by thor.

MythLCD is nothing more than a test program. The actual connection and
sending is handled by libmyth.

mythtv/configure --enable-lcd (I believe)

You also need to have LCDd running (of course) and add the following
into the settings table:
value: data: host:
LCDHost some_ip_or_localhost name_of_your_myth_box
LCDPort 13666 name_of_your_myth_box

Thanks Dan. I'll pass that option to the configure script, add the entries in
the settings table and see what happens.
If I need help I know who to ask :-)

Thanks again,
Drew Hearle
