Not work volume indicator

Not work volume indicator on Android TV (Android 9, Amlogic s922x)

[courville]

Could you please disclose the tv box hardware you are using? It appears to me that it is not detected as and android TV box.

Box Zoomtak King S22 on Amlogic-S922X Initially firmware android 9 pie. Now modified firmware and added mod for Android TV (Loncher ATV, Google Market ATV and applications). But apparently still identified as ordinary android 9, not ATV. Although Google Market ATV understands the device as ATV and applications offer appropriate.

As an option: Can you add the device type selection in the application settings? Or selection interface TV / tablet / smartphone.

Problem only 320 dpi

[wsnake65]

Please fix it. 320dpi is standart resolution for Android TV interface (for tvbox and TV 1920*1080).

[courville]

Why do you state that the problem is 320dpi? This tests determines if this is indeed an AndroidTV:

    public static boolean isAndroidTV(Context ct) {
        // false on chromeos
        UiModeManager uiModeManager = (UiModeManager) ct.getSystemService(Context.UI_MODE_SERVICE);
        boolean isATV = (uiModeManager.getCurrentModeType() == Configuration.UI_MODE_TYPE_TELEVISION);
        if (DBG) Log.d(TAG, "isAndroidTV: " + isATV);
        return isATV;
    }

My current understanding is that the modded firmware used does not comply entirely in the UI mode type television... Please correct me if I am wrong.

[courville]

Can you please detail how you launch the video (inside nova, from a file browser, provide video if not clear)? Are you using CEC to control the TV volume (grayed volume bar would be a symptom)? Presence of volume bar come from non certified android TV box probably.

[wsnake65]

With resolutions below or above 320dpi slider volume control appears. The switching on or off CEC does not affect it. My tvbox - non certified android TV box. My modded firmware comply entirely (I think so) in the UI mode type TV box with Android TV 9. I have an android TV box with android TV 9 - not TV. The volume slider does not work only in Nova 320 dpi (for example, in VLC or VIMU players, their volume slider works). If it is so difficult to fix it, you will have to use the built-in android TV slider volume :-)

I can confirm, I have redbox 6 mini and the same behavior with volume slider on the latest version (v6.0.65)

[courville]

I can reproduce the issue on the emulator (mac M1 arm64 one API31) now. It happens indeed on 320dpi.

adb shell wm size
-> Physical size: 1920x1080
adb shell wm density
-> Physical density: 320

It is linked on layout-sw500dp-notouch assets not matched.

I may have encountered the same problem. The volume bar does not display properly during video playback. However, the volume bar that comes with the TV can be displayed normally on the nova main interface and file information interface. Please see screenshot.

My device model: MiTV4A on Android 6.0

[courville]

Volume on AndroidTV can be different from a phone. Nova displays the "soft volume". On AndroidTV, volume from the box can be always 100% and managed through the tv master volume (using sometimes CEC with visual feedback).

The nova volume slider should not be displayed.

Sadly with the emulator I cannot reproduce anymore.

[yaoyao5128]

The volume bar can be displayed normally on 6.2.44 (〃'▽'〃).

[courville]

Can the issue be closed then?

[yaoyao5128]

Yes, I think it can be closed.
