Current version is 1
And you need BeOS R5.

This is an add-on for CL-Amp that displays some info about the currently playing song onto a LCD panel.  The LCD support is from the SerLCD class. (Look on BeBits) This supports LCD panels that use the LCD Serial Backpack from Scott Edwards Electronics. (See http://www.seetron.com/slcds.htm) 

On a 4x16 charactor disply, the first line has the title of the song.  The second line has the current play time, and a small icon that shows the play state. The third line is mostly empty. Though, turn on fading and watch it.  Bottom line is a progress bar.

If you change settings in the preference dialog, you have to deactivate and reactivate the plug-in for the changes to take affect.  This is because the setting only affect the setup of the LCD. (and thus you will only notice the changes when it is setup.(duh))

To Install:
Just copy the vis_lcdclamp file into your CL_Amp Plugins folder, and restart CL-Amp.

To Build:
To complie this yourself, you need to have both the CL-Amp devel kit, and the SerLCD sources.  Next open the makefile in an editor, and change the SERLCD and CLAMPDEV variables to be the correct paths for your system. run make. It should work without complaints.

ToDo list:
-get support in for other sizes of lcds.
