Regression - CEC Volume Controls

keydon · November 27, 2018 at 10:49 PM

Hallo,

I noticed a regression in the CEC Volume Controls.

Starting from Milhouse Build #1107 I no longer can control the volume of my AMP from withing kodi (+/- Keys on the keyboard)

Instead it just adjusts the internal kodi volume. Audio-Passthrough still works fine.

But while Audio-passthrouh is active (i.e. when playing a video), the volume keys do nothing but show the volume indicator, the indicator itself does not change in this case.

I am using the Pulse-Eight USB-CEC-Adapter on regular x86_x64 hardware.

here are some versions I tested until I found the breaking build with some logs.

Code

#0916 OK
#1101 OK
#1106 OK http://ix.io/1uEZ
#1107 Bad http://ix.io/1uET
#1108 Bad 
#1110 Bad 
#1113 Bad 
#1126 Bad

Side note: Adjusting the volume via the RPC-Webapi was always only controlling the kodi internal volume, never my AMP. Would be cool to see that fixed too

Cheers,

keydon

As Milhouse offers his builds via the Kodi forum, it's recommended that any bugs/quirks/funny stuff is reported directly via that forum thread.

Thanks in advance and don't forget include a full debug log.

As far as the USB CEC adapter is concerned, has it been updated to the latest firmware?

ah thanks, my bad. i will take my issue to the kodi forum then.

so the logs i attached in the code-section are not enough, correct? i would need to enable the debug mode first? ok, will do

You are right, the cec adapter firmware is not the latest (v4 2012-12-06), there is a v7 2017. I guess i will try updating it first.

Thank you!

firmware upgrade did not help, but it was worth a shot.

my bug report with full-debug logs now moved to LibreELEC Testbuilds for x86_64 (Kodi 18.0)

therefor I mark this thread as resolved. thanks!
