Feature request: PlayerEvents for VolUp and VolDown

[Muffexx]

Hi,
since there are PlayerEvents (player.rs) for started, changed and stopped, would it be possible to add events for VolUp and VolDown? This way I could control the volume of my receiver by running scripts that use HDMI-CEC (https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec).

Even better would be to directly integrate HDMI-CEC-support, but I assume this would consume too much time.

Thanks for your reply.

Kind regards

I have something similar added to my branch: michaelherger@fb7b8d7. It would trigger a volume change event with the actual value sent to the event handler. Ignore the self.lms.is_configured condition - that's specific to my application. And the lms.rs is my custom event handler implementation. That change would belong in player_event_handler.rs.

I like the idea of just exposing the event. That leaves me with the possibility to either change volume of the AVR via HDMI-CEC, or via API (in case I decide to connect via TOS-Link or analog, instead of HDMI)

Alongside the new volume-change events, we'd probably also need a way to suppress volume changes of the internal player, as that volume should stay at eg 75 or 100%.

In case it's relevant, I'd like to vote for merging this.

This would be even better.
