      Where does the output go to? I just get an error on startup when the NoDisplay.FilBased writer is selected.

      Do I need to install any drivers besides LCDWriter? As mentioned, it’s a clean Win7 x64 install, and I have not installed any drivers besides chipset drivers for the motherboard.

      Good point.  It will output where ever the exe is located, so you’d probably have to add your user account to the install folder w/ modify rights.  The display uses FTDI drivers to emulate a serial port, they should get pulled down from Windows Update but you may find more recent one on FTDI’s website.

        If it is MSAS that is the problem, how do I find out, and how can I solve it?

        Use the nodisplay.filewriter to see what you’re getting from MC.

          It’s not uncommon for MSAS to be broken by default, especially if you’ve installed a sink and then it uninstalls improperly.

          I can take a look to see if I can reproduce the issue, but I think it’s unlikely that the problem is with the writer.

            There are no updates to the driver. Do I have to install the M.Play software or other drivers from the Moneual CD? I also notice that the display actually always start at 00.00/50.00, but once it starts counting, both are reset to 00.00/00.00

            No, you shouldn’t install M.Play.

              Also, when pressing “detect configuration”, I get an error about not having access to COM3, which appears to be the correct COM-port.

              Make sure the driver is up to date and reboot.

                The service won’t work with this display because it requires user interaction.

                  It’s possible that it’s a bug in LcdWriter, but odd that no one has mentioned it. Baring that, I’d say it’s probably an MSAS issue.

                    Yeah, it shouldn’t do that.  It should be current/duration or something similar.

                      I see. And this is not configurable?

                      Not currently.  IMO, the VFD should contain information that is useful and non-obvious.  I already know what show I’m watching, don’t always know how much time is left.

                        That is somewhat dependent on how you define “useful”.  I like to see the current position and duration, so that is what is displayed during playback.  When recording the channel and show title are displayed.

                            The driver, or some setting (when applied by the driver) in CCC could easily cause an issue like this.

                              Be on the look out for coupons as well, they are always running promotions where you can pick it up for $50-$60.

                                Thanks for the heads up.  Keep us posted on a resolution if any is discovered.

                                  Yes.  What does SP1 have to do with it?

                                  There was a similar issue with 7MC that was fixed in SP1.  It primarily affected Intel GPUs, but I’ve also heard reports of that issue occasionally repro’ing on other platforms.
