Is there a way to control the volume of the audio output?  If not, can the be added to the Admin console?  Or can it be added in the Xfce GUI?  The device I want to connect doesn't have a volume.

@Whitehambone,

Not in this release but in the next you will have:

- Volume Control
- Online/live streams
- Bluetooth speakers

I love it myself!

With kind regards,
Michel

@Michel Kohanim AWESOME!!!!

Saw volume was added to new version but does not work for me.  Posted this under the support post for 1.3.0

 

Issue - Volume Control wont work.  (FYI- Using speaker jack not Bluetooth)

Whatever I change it to it goes back to 100%

Even tried installing on a different EISY and same issue.

Same issue.   Volume Control at top says 100%.   If I change it below, the top still says 100% and anything played will come out of headphones at 100%.  There doesn't seem to be a "write" of the volume setting when hitting "Play"

Volume control doesn't work for tts.

I am only trying to use it for one of the built-in mp3  files and it doesn’t work

I already responded to your email. This is how the volume works: you have to be in play mode for the volume to be applied. Once the play is over, and you restart a new song, then volume goes back to 100%. We may improve this in future releases such that we store the volume and then apply it when the play starts.

It was not working at all.  Everytime I chose 100 it would go right back to 100 but there has been a couple updates since then and to be honest I did not test after those.  I just tested now and it does now behave as you say.  It changes and then it goes back but now not until after it is finished playing.

Ah!  That was a little non-intuitive - but it does work.  Once it is playing any media, I can change the volume, AND the volume setting stayed in place for all future files (which is what i wanted).   The only part I was missing was that a file or steam had to be active in order to make the initial change.  Thanks!

We'll be fixing it shortly + the ability to upload files (zip) directly from PG3 + YouTube support.

BTW, we do need 9 volunteers to test our YouTube plugin. Any interest?

I volunteer but wont be able to test to April 4 due to vacation and business.  Let me know if that timing works

@macjeff,

Thank you. It all depends ... currently in development.

With kind regards,
Michel

@Michel Kohanim I would be happy to help test if you still need volunteers. 

Count me in for testing as well @Michel Kohanim

Thank you both. Almost done and it's very simple (get your playlists and play them) and awesome especially through BT speakers.

With kind regards,

Michel

@Michel Kohanim is a local playlist configured like this?  Just dump MP3's into the folder?

KEY: playlist	VALUE: storgae/playlist

 

 

@Whitehambone,

Unfortunately, there's no local playlist. You upload zip files containing your files, and they will end up in the path as defined in the configuration.

We can definitely consider adding local playlists. This said, does anyone actually download large audio files rather than playing through spotify, youtube, etc.?

With kind regards,
Michel
