Support for alsaequal

[xt660x]

Hello JiriSko,

What about support for alsaequal in your nice webui? ;)

All the best

[JiriSko]

Hi xt660x,

thanks for tip. I'll see what I can do. :)

[xt660x]

Ok now :)

I managed to get it work with alsaequal by replacing "amixer" with "amixer -D equal" in 57 and 59 lines.

Original:

        if Handler.card is None:
            return ["amixer"]
        else:
            return ["amixer", "-c", "%d" % Handler.card]

New:

        if Handler.card is None:
            return ["amixer", "-D", "equal"]
        else:
            return ["amixer", "-D", "equal"]

And line 106:

Original: card_detail = Popen(["amixer", "-c", card_number, "info"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]

New: card_detail = Popen(["amixer", "-D", "equal"], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]

Of course I had to install alsaequal first, in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libasound2-plugin-equal

[JiriSko]

Yep, that's simplest workaround. But I think that equalizer should have different UI than volume control (at least 90° rotated controls). So I wrote server backend and now I need to write frontend.

[xt660x]

Good :) Thanks for update :)

[JiriSko]

Can you please test it? :) Branch: dev-equalizer

[xt660x]

Yes, thanks, I will :)

[xt660x]

Hmm... I see no changes on the main screen... I mean no new controls for equalizer etc...:

While I can see text output for eq controls on the /equalizer/ page:

[xt660x]

And interesting. If I change

equal = True

in alsamixer-webui.py

... then restart alsamixer-webui.py

then reload the page in browser - I can see EQ controls. But after next page reload it comes back to standard mixer controls like Master Playback and others.

[JiriSko]

That's weird, you should see equalizer button like on the screenshot: Sorry for dumb question but do you really have latest code from dev-equalizer branch?

[xt660x]

Yep, I do :) Well, seems I do :) It also came to my mind :) So I tried it first by pulling it throgh git (git pull, git checkout dev-equalizer), second - by downloading zip directly from the webpage (https://github.com/JiriSko/amixer-webui/tree/dev-equalizer) and extracting it to separate folder etc. Same result :)

May it be possible that actually branch itself does not containg the latest code? Sorry for dumb question ;)

[xt660x]

Just in case:

$ python --version Python 2.7.3

[JiriSko]

Can you check Network card in Developer tools if /equalizer/ is loading?

[xt660x]

Yep:

[JiriSko]

I found it :) This bug appears when you've got only one sound card. I'll fix it soon.

[xt660x]

Good! :)))

[JiriSko]

Fixed. Check it now please. :)

[xt660x]

Web-version works, thank! :) What about Android app? ;) I installed v 0.2.2 and there is no button for EQ :(

[JiriSko]

Good. Thanks for your help with debugging. I'll merge it into master and release. ;) And regarding android app, I didn't implement it yet.

[xt660x]

Thanks! :)

[JiriSko]

Equalizer support also added in android app v0.3.0. :)
