Now Playing Info on 2nd Monitor

[ernestshakleton]

I have a small 10" LCD monitor that I have connected to the 2nd monitor output of my SageTV computer.

I have nothing else to do with the monitor and thought it would be nice to have it show the now playing info from sage.

I started by using the Sage Webserver with an auto refresh, but the text is too small to read from my couch. I tried elarging the text in firefox, and overscaning the image as much as possible, but the text in the now playing table gets cut off.

Any ideas on how to get the now playing info to be displayed in a better way? I know it can be done through programming, but I am not a programmer.

Thanks,
JG

the files the webserver uses are adjustable - they are in the webserver folder. Just open up in a html editor like Word or something better if you have it

I believe that the webpages are dynamically created. I looked at the files in dreamweaver and just saw a bunch of references to javascript files. Nothing to edit.

I can see that there is a .css style sheet, but it will not allow me take the info out of the table so it does not get cut off, it looks like I can change the font sizes and colors but that is about all I understand.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
