lcdapi's Issues

dcop: not found

Running on raspberry pi 3 on the newest jessie version.

Edit: I found the Problem. Noatun isn't install on raspbian and the function LCDKdeMultimediaSensor can't access to the Noatun programm.

Client backlight

Hello,

I would like to set the clients backlight instead of the screen's. But there is no method for that in the LCDClient class.

Excerpt from LCDproc Developer's Guide:

Miscellaneous

backlight { on | off | toggle | blink | flash }

Sets the client's backlight state.

Thanks in advance!

Marquee direction for scrollers, continuous scrolling feature

I missed the continuous scrolling feature, so I modified your source:

diff --git a/lcdapi/api/LCDWidget.h b/lcdapi/api/LCDWidget.h
index db97d8f..e2087ac 100644
--- a/lcdapi/api/LCDWidget.h
+++ b/lcdapi/api/LCDWidget.h
@@ -52,7 +52,8 @@ class LCDWidget : public LCDElement
   enum Direction
   {
     Horizontal = 'h',
-    Vertical = 'v'
+    Vertical = 'v',
+    Marquee = 'm'
   };
   /**
    * \brief A list of parameters for set method.

I think something like that should be implemented. Thanks in advance!

LCD_SOCKET_NOT_SUPPORTED

Hi, i'm trying to setup an audio player using your lcdapi to interface with a HD47780 4X20 LCD on PicorePlayer with LCDd.
No problem at all with picorePlayer V6.0.
With picorePlayer 7 i received: [ERROR] LCDd communication problem: LCD Error : Network type not supported
LCDd is correctly running and i can see startup message on LCD.
thank you
Emanuele

Qt wrapper

I'm not sure if this would be better as a fork, or a conditional compile, but adding Qt5 support would be really nice. Use of the Qt event loop (instead of sleep), using signals for key arrival, using the network library of Qt would all make this a lot more friend for users coming form the Qt/C++ world. Just a suggestion - but nice project!

Install misses LCDKeyEvent.h

The install make target does not install include/keys/LCDKeyEvent.h
