Volume Variable not updating

2 years 6 months ago

#1858

Hello,

I'm trying to use the volume variable for my Denon AVR to display the volume on my SmartRemote. While I got the overlay working, the number stays static and doesn't change when changing the volume. In checking the variable on MyServer through the dashboard Denon driver page, the variable does not change there either and matches what's on the SmartRemote.

In the log, I see the command is sent by MyServer correctly and MyServer receives the correct volume number back from the Denon but it doesn't seem to be carrying through to the variable. Is there anywhere within MyServer that I can see what the variable is pointing to when receiving information back from the Denon? In the logs it appears as <<MV[number]>>

Log: 21/03/2024 21:18:28.18 · DEBUG · Server.doCommand - AV|103~Volume~Up from dashboard-fx-0xeh
21/03/2024 21:18:28.18 · DEBUG · Denon.doCommand - Cmd=[103~Volume~Up] Client=[dashboard-fx-0xeh]21/03/2024 21:18:28.18 · DEBUG · Denon.TX: (103) - MVUP21/03/2024 21:18:28.18 · DEBUG · Denon.RX - <<MV47>>21/03/2024 21:18:28.18 · DEBUG · Denon.RX - <<MVMAX 70>>Variable:
av_103_volume : 50

Thanks in advance for the help.

Check the list of variables for the var of the Denon's volume level. Copy the name. Put that name in a text object on the webpage like this {{name_of_your_variable}} Keep the braces.

Thanks, David. I believe that's already what I did when I identified av_103_volume or is there another var for Denon's volume level I should be looking for? av_103 maps to the Denon AVR in question on the Driver page and I couldn't find any other vars on the system server variables tab.

For the webpage, I have the variable "{{av_103_volume}}" in a label. The problem is that the number in the variable never changes despite volume changes for the Denon AVR that maps to av_103.

I took some screenshots which I've attached. The first shows the label on my webpage with {{av_103_volume}}. The second is the variable mapped to the Denon volume on the system server variables tab (looks the same on the Denon driver tab). The 3rd shows the log with MyServer receiving the <<MV47>> response to the volume being set at 47 but the variable still reflects 50.

If I'm doing something in error or missing something, please let me know. I appreciate the guidance!

I'll need to look at the HTML to see what is going on. Can you turn on your Teamviewer and let me know what page the volume should be displayed on.

Yes - Teamviewer is on. Should I post the ID# here or do you want me to send it to you in a different way? I'm not sure if there are any security / privacy concerns in posting the Teamviewer ID to a public forum, hence the question.

The volume display is on the overlay-header.html page. I have that header included on the pc.html webpage which is the first remote view I'm currently building out. To troubleshoot, I set up a second overlay page just for the volume (VolumeOverlay.html webpage) which is also included on the pc.html webpage but located at the bottom of the view.

Thanks again - much appreciated!
