Enables the LCD display of the Activy300 boxes from Siemens and allows navigation in the VDR menu where oversized lines are scrolled. It also shows a progress bar while replaying media.


The plugin allows you to use the LCD of Fujitsu-Siemens [[Activy]] 300 and also the newer Activys.
The frontpanel buttons of the Activy are also supported. Some additional keypresses are realized by pressing more than one button at once.


With version 1.2.1 it is possible to display the next timer on the LCD of the Activy after the shutdown.
===Usage===
The activity_lcdoff.sh provided by HelAu, works only under gen2vdr 1.1. Therefore, below is an example which you can adjust by yourselfes.
