Attempting to add ASLA volume controls #168

Open Pnub opened 1 year ago

Pnub commented 1 year ago

Trying to add new keyboard shortcuts to allow for volume up and volume down, but any changes made to the video_looper.py script aren't reflected in the restart. Even a simple additional output in run to the console. What am I missing?

Once I get this working I'm curious if others would find it worthwhile.

you need to run python3 setup.py install --force from the install.sh so the package gets updated. you may also use "develop" instead of install - then it will just link to your source files (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19048732/python-setup-py-develop-vs-install)

Hey Pnub Did you succeed? - im trying the same thing, but i can not get it to work. If you did, will you share the code ?

Pnub commented 1 year ago

SirVaxi, I was successful. Let me make a few tweaks and I'll upload it to my repo to share.

Pnub, Looking forward to seeing how you solved it! - I think it's so nice that you want to share it with the rest of us!

maybe it would also work to just send "+" and "-" to the omxplayer process? (just like the pause command) needs to be tested if this would also control the alsa device
