AutomaticVolumeAdjustment Plugin

[jbleyel]

The AutomaticVolumeAdjustment Plugin is no longer compatible with ATV

Posts from @ian10951:

_The biggest issue with the audio recently is that something recently broke the AutoVolumeAdjustment plugin in ATV.

This is an OE-A plugin and it used to work perfectly in ATV but now it crashes the box upon every channel change.

This plugin used to address all users audio issues as it set and remembered the volume level for every single individual channel. It is greatly missed and would have fixed the original posters issues too if it still worked in ATV.

Sorry that this doesnt help the original poster, but if whatever broke the plugin could be addressed then I doubt there would be anymore posts about audio volume levels, in here or in any forums._

Nothing has changed in that plugin for a very long time and it still works perfectly with OpenVix. Something changed in ATV which broke it when trying to use it with ATV.

_The ViX plugin is far easier to use jbleyel, you just adjust the volume as you want it using the volume buttons and the plugin remembers it and always sets the volume at that level everytime you switch to a given channel. theres no adding channels to a list like with the onboard ATV VolumeAdjust, you just simply use the Vol + and Vol - as you normally would. It performs better too. The simple fact is it's just better, but sadly it has now been broken in ATV for 5 or 6 months.
Now when it tries to adjust the volume to the remembered value it causes the image to crash upon channel change.

Such a shame._

_Another major benefit of this plugin over the onboard ATV one is IPTV, it works with that too, but more importantly. often when we watch movies from our HDD's we set the volume very high to get the best Dolby affects ect, but after doing this when the movie has ended and you exit mediaplayer and the box reverts to the last channel watched the volume remains very high and you jump out of your skin lol, not to mention possibly damaging the speakers. When you use this plugin because its already remembered the channels desired volume level it automatically adjusts the volume to the normal level the very moment you exit mediaplayer.

As I said its just better._

Hi @ian10951:

Please copy this py in the plugin AutomaticVolumeAdjustment folder and test.

AutomaticVolumeAdjustment.py.zip

[ian10951]

New py added

Sadly it doesnt say why.

[jbleyel]

You may need also this -> https://github.com/oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins/blob/master/automaticvolumeadjustment/src/plugin.py

Because you have not the latest version.

[jbleyel]

All files for the plugin.

Still the same error message jbleyel

This is with 7.5.1 by the way

Could it be this ?

try:
from Components.SystemInfo import BoxInfo
IMAGEDISTRO = BoxInfo.getItem("distro")
except:
from boxbranding import getImageDistro
IMAGEDISTRO = getImageDistro()

Ok that sorted the plugin install in 7.5.1, but now its back to crashing upon channel change again

20250116-210412-enigma2-crash.log

The crash is now the same error that was in 7.4 after the image changes that initially broke the plugin some 5 or 6 months ago.

Fantastic jbleyel ! Everything seems to be working on first testing.

Its so nice to have this plugin back, it seems an eternity not having it for 5-6 months.

Can this be put onto the ATV feeds ? I'm sure many will want to use it.

[jbleyel]

I'm thinking about to implement the missing features of the plugin into the core code, so you no longer need the plugin.
That means the plugin is only a workaround for now.

[ian10951]

Thats a great idea jbleyel because its vastly superior in every way from easy of use to how it actually performs to what ATV has now. The core Volume Adust in use now is not great and basically only offers an AC3 offset. It is not a complete volume control like what this plugin is. And of course an AC3 offset isnt needed at all if you have something like this that controls each individual channels audio and remembers the users setting. I also believe it will sort nearly all audio issues that people post about. It would be interesting if the user who posted in the other thread were to try this and report back on if it fixed his issue or not.

Hi @ian10951 :

Not finished and not tested!!

#3501

[ian10951]

Ok I will test once I get the update.

The status plugin is telling me that my next image build is in 30 hours.

This is an extra branch and this will be not build.
You need to get the changed files from github if you want to test this.

These changes will be in the image after testing and not before.

[ian10951]

Ah OK

Might be a bit above my paygrade that.

Now works properly on Octagon Supreme.
The Remember option works and the Defined option also works.

[jbleyel]

Now works properly on Octagon Supreme. The Remember option works and the Defined option also works.

Please make more tests and @ian10951 should also test.

[jbleyel]

Please test also all the options of VolumeAdjustment and remove the AutomaticVolumeAdjustment Plugin.

[pololoko111]

I do not use the Automatic Volume Adjustment plugin.
For now all options are working, I will test them longer later.

[jbleyel]

Hi @ian10951 , have you tested the latest code?

[ian10951]

I'm working away in London at the moment and wont have access to my box till I return at the weekend.
