Telnet Control of AVR to control Zones #27

Open paulhoule opened 5 years ago

paulhoule commented 5 years ago

When we are trying to use the AVR to play sounds, there is the problem that it can be in various modes that may or may not be what we want.

For instance, I have the AVR configured with two zones. The possible configurations (so far as I am concerned) are

Note that we can only play one audio stream for HEOS at a time. That is, Zone 1 and Zone 2 have to play the same thing.

There is an existing script to communicate with the AVR, but there is still work to be done.

Ok, what I really did was update the AVR script so it can interrogate the system status which will help get this under control.

Now that I think of it though the commands could be different from the configurations. For instance, somebody might be happy to switch on Z2 for HEOS but want to leave Z1 in whatever state it was in.

There is a command-line application now. To be fully shipped, this has to be integrated with the wake-up routine so that it goes to Z1 and not Z2.
