Control volume #5

Open fabiomassimo opened 11 years ago

fabiomassimo commented 11 years ago

Hi, I'm using the official xbmc remote control app for iOS and I have found some problem with volume control. My XBMC is installed on a raspberry pi that is connected to a Onkyo AV Receveir in passthrough. Through a cheap media center's remote, I'm able to control volume but if i try to control it via the app I get an error because the audio is in passthrough (to decode ac3 and dts). Is it possible to control volume via iOS app in the same way that remote control works, so I won't get any error? Thanks.

Ciao Fabio,

what I'm calling it's the only method available to control the volume, Application.SetVolume http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API/v5#Application.SetVolume

I'll ping the JSON-RPC guys to know if something can be done.

Thanks, I appreciate that. When I had to re-map my control there was a bunch of method to change volume, sadly nothing similar on API.

I use CEC to controll my amp from both raspberry and an x86 (http://libcec.pulse-eight.com). I've seen this volume issue with a couple of remote apps. But the official remote for android, and Yatse on android works as expected. But i have not found a remote for Ipad that sends volume control in a way that works with my amp. I just get the xbmc software volume which I'm not interested in being altered, just imagine the confusion that can lead to. I really like to see this being fixed, as the software is really nice.

This is the request for change done in: https://github.com/joethefox/Unofficial-Official-XBMC-Remote/issues/40

Btw this is supported in: Android -> Yatse IOS -> Constellation

@kambala-decapitator, this should be closed as #40. There is no Kodi API to send CEC volume commands.

I think we can keep it open in case Kodi receives such API one day
