Looking into lcdproc, it appears that (unsurprisingly) LCDd joins to two things:<br>
<br>
1. A client, which feeds info to be displayed;<br>
2. A driver, which sends the info to a particular piece of hardware.<br>
<br>
I have never used an LCD display with mythtv, and I cannot seem to get<br>
the curses driver to work, so I am a bit lost.<br>
<br>
But the key to this must be a driver that takes the output of LCDd and<br>
feeds it to festival.<br>
<br>
Or do we simply need to make /dev/lcd0 a link to some named pipe to festival?<br><br>
Buggered if I know.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>mythdroid (a mythtv-on-android app) uses a server-side perl script called MDD that "...<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:16.383333206176758px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">intercepts information that is sent to the LCD and makes it available to MythDroid.
