cec.volume_up()
and cec.volume_down()
are wrappers around the volume up and down functions that are part of the libcec API. I think the underlying libcec functions are sending volume up and down to the cec AV device with address 5. (Usually a receiver).
I don't currently have an API for sending user controls, button presses or raw commands to a specific device. That would probably be a good addition to the API.
I don't have time to write that API at the moment, but I will gladly accept a pull request.
Just thought I'd add my :+1: to this.
Edit: vol_up()
does actually work for me, I had a configuration problem.
Edit: found a weird quirk (read: bug). The volume functions only work after I call list_devices()
.
@RSully Did you need to do anything else to get the volume working? I've tried running list_devices() first and the volume controls are still not doing anything.
@brad999 I actually switched to using the C++ API directly. My limited implementation is here.
@RSully I found the same - vol doesn't work after cec.init(), but does work after cec.list_devices()
I suspect this is a bug/feature in the underlying libcec API. It probably needs to detect which devices are present before it knows which address to send volume messages to.
Okay, so they probably do work... But I'm not sure how. They aren't part of the device class, so I'm not 100% sure what they do. I can't run, for example
tv.volume_up()
, and runningcec.volume_up()
just returns true. Should these be able to send volume up and down commands to the TV?
