[Release] LH_DataViewer (v1.03)

Enhancements go into the issue tracker.

I have a rather challenging suggestion for this plugin. I'm sure you have heard of cheat engine. It has a "memory scanner" that allows you to read variables from the memory in games. Its open source (I think). Maybe you could somehow combine that and this plugin to read data from memory. Just thought I'd suggest it. Great work on the plugin though.

[Triscopic]

I've heard of memory scanners & cheat engines. The problem is that such an application requires huge amounts of time. I'd love to be able to have a plugin that could just pull data right out of memory, but if I wanted to go down that road I'd never be able to produce any other plugin at all.

On the other hand, if you know of a free, open source tool, perhaps I can look at the possibility of having lh_dataviewer exchange data with it.

read variables from the memory in games

You will need to search for a utility (or write one yourself) that can read the memor from your game and write it's output to a file.  Then you can use dataviewer with it.

There seems to be a bug with the latest DataViewer Plugin. I keep getting the error message:

Code: [Select]

27/05/2012 12:42:51 AM  DBG  Source File Changed: watching source file: "W:/www.com/wdl/clientraw.txt"
27/05/2012 12:42:53 AM  ERR  QFileSystemWatcher: FindNextChangeNotification failed!! (The specified network name is no longer available.)
If I am running a VLC type stream aka watching a movie from the same server... If I stop and start the plugin it crashes all network data being transferred. This bug has only happened in the past few releases of the software / plugin. It used to work perfectly until then.

[Malakie]

For the life of me I cannot find a download link for this plugin... what am I missing?

[micpt]

did you checked the PLUGIN-TAB in LCDHost ?

Dataviewer should be included with LCDHost 0.0.25 and is Ver. 1.05

[phoniclynx]

I've waited 5 months and not recieved any kind of reply... I have noticed that I've got quite a few errors in the logs when I start LCDHost. I have just isntalled windows 8 hoping it would fix the errors but its still got the same symptoms.

Those are helper messages for me and Triscopic, to help change out old code that is being deprecated for the new APIs.
And yes, there has been a long time since me or Tri worked visibly on LCDHost. I'll try to make a FP host about what I've been up to soon.

Hey All, have to excuse me as a newb, but I could use a hand getting the dataviewer plugin working.  Basically I have Aquasuite 2012 exporting an xml file, and would like to read it in LCDHost.  I'm lost how to do this, and although I've read the guide a few times to be honest it's a bit much for me.  I can't even find an example so as to learn myself. Some help would be appreciated.  Xml example below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
-<LogDataExport xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><name>Aquasuite</name><exportTime>2012-12-03T21:46:23.5187401+11:00</exportTime>-<logdata>-<LogDataSet><t>2012-12-03T21:46:22.857</t><value>24.25</value><name>Water Temp</name><unit>°C</unit><valueType>temperature</valueType><device>aquaero 5</device></LogDataSet>-<LogDataSet><t>2012-12-03T21:46:22.857</t><value>21.68</value><name>Ambient Temp</name><unit>°C</unit><valueType>temperature</valueType><device>aquaero 5</device></LogDataSet></logdata></LogDataExport>

Any chance you can get the plugin to accept XML with xmlns attributes???
I can get aquasuite 2012 XML data to work fine if it is clean, but aquasuite puts the attributes in so the plugin doesnt parse them properly.

example code that currently doesnt work because of the xmlns attributes..

Code: [Select]

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LogDataExport xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<LogDataSet>
<t>
2013-03-01T00:42:01.044

</unit>
<valueType>

Same XML that does work because the XMLNS attributes are removed.. (manually)

Code: [Select]

<LogDataExport>

Thanks

Hi thar lethials I got XML from aquasuite working manually after cleaning the first line up, we just need the guys to hopefully update their plugin so it accepts XML with the XMLNS attributes I mentioned above. 

the format in my example above that would display the CPU water temp from the XML is this.

{logdata.LogDataSet.value}

that will return the value 34.09 when you put that line above into the Data Template Field.

[hiltondk]

I got some scripting done to clean the xml with an "xslt" xml template to remove the xml attributes and make a clean xml file. A batch file runs every 5 secs against the aquasuite xml file to strip the stuff that LCDHost doesnt like.
The problem I have now is that the Dataviewer looks like it can only handle 1 instance so I cant have seperate xml files processed by seperate dataviewers.  While I can set each dataviewer to its own data source the data txt and data bar instances will only read data from the last Dataviewer in the list. It looks like the dataviewer templates cannot be matched to a particular connector?!?!? Ive tried making a parsing map file and having all the data in the same XML file but i dont know enough to make it work or even if the current xml structure from aquasuite 2012 would work.

Anyone got any advice?

Batch file

Code: [Select]
