Loudness Toggle with Remote Control
« on: April 05, 2016, 04:36:56 am »

I am trying to toggle the loudness by remote control. However, I could not find an equivalent command in HotKeys/CommandLine/CoreCommands. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks for ideas.

How about creating a new zone and setting that up with loudness on. Then you could use the code to toggle to that zone (I believe you can even go directly to that zone, too) Would that work for you?

A little research revealed that Loudness is settable from MCWS.  This command toggles loudness on or off for the current playing zone:

http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/DSP/Loudness?Zone=-1&ZoneType=ID&Set=-1

(I ran this from the same computer as MC is running on, thus the localhost.  You'd specify the hostname or IP address of your MC server if running it from another computer or device.)

I'm not sure how you're integrating with your remote control, but hopefully you can use MCWS with it.

Cool! I already made zones with and without loudness. Makes it very handy to switch mit JRemote on my Ipad. For my IR Remote, I will use the MCWS solution. Great - and thanks to the 2 of you!
