Sonos / Re: Make the OSD Show the Current Sonos Volume?

« on: September 02, 2016, 03:06:30 AM »

The {LastResult} solution definitely gives me the result I've been looking for, but it is like you said, a tad slow compared to {LastInfo} giving me a significant delay due to the many repeated actions I'm triggering in rapid succession.
The reason for showing the OSD was to have more control of what the actual volume is, at any given time when adjusting it, so I don't accidently blast music out of the speakers at 1am because someone decided to mess about with the gamepad 
Maybe I'll just disable the OSD altogether and set an action on VC.Loaded to reset the Sonos group volume to X using Sonos.Player.SetGrpVol.
I'll keep thinking about how to solve this the best way - VC is insanely flexible and it always amazes me what can be done with it. Expect a donation coming your way in a few minutes.

Thanks again!

I've disabled all other commands but it still occurs.

Like I mentioned in my first post, I'm using Controller Companion to make the LT and the RT on my Xbox One gamepad simulate keystrokes on the keyboard.
I've tried several key combinations but still get the same results.
The macro I've set up in Controller Companion is set to auto-repeat if the triggers are held down.
I wonder if the problem occurs due to the sheer amount of repeated "keystrokes" I'm bombarding VC with...? If I take my sweet time, pressing the triggers, with pauses in between, the "OK" message does not pop up.

As evident from the log file I've attached to my post, this randomly pops up every once in a while:

01/09/2016 18:17:39   329   Action INFO: OK

Thanks, that did the trick.

I somehow get an "OK" message in there every now and then...Not sure what is causing this
(check out the last action/line in the photo). Ideas?

So terribly sorry. I am embarrassed now, hehe.
What's the quickest and safest way of upgrading without messing up my current commands? =)

I'm an idiot.... I need a newer version of VC, don't I?

Looks like I was already using Sonos.Player.AdjustGrpVol, but went ahead and tested Sonos.Player.AdjustVol as well. I can verify that in my scenario, both works.

I'm having trouble getting the OSD to show {LastInfo}. What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

That was a quick reply! 

Duly noted. I will change my command macro to use Sonos.Player.AdjustGrpVol.
Not sure if this would make a difference, though?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my Playbar is linked to the Play:1's and Sub, so any and all changes I do to my Sonos Playbar seem to carry over to them.

In any other room/zone setup with multiple speakers the Sonos.Player.AdjustGrpVol definitely makes sense.

Thanks for the very detailed explanation. I will try this as soon as I get home from work.

Sonos / Make the OSD Show the Current Sonos Volume?

« on: September 01, 2016, 03:14:19 AM »

Hello everyone

In my living room I have a Playbar, two Play:1's and a Sonos Sub - grouped together and named Living Room.

I have successfully configured the left trigger (LT) and right trigger (RT) on my Xbox One controller to change my Sonos speakers volume.
This is done by using a combination of a keymapper software (Controller Companion), keyhooks in VoxCommando, and the Sonos.Player.AdjustVol action with changes of +/- 1%.

How would I go about showing an OSD with the current volume after each volume change?

Any and all help greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Just remember that you are only supposed to wear it on your wrist, or you will void the warranty. 

Aahahahah xD Damnit, I walked right into that one.

Cool!
I bought the extreme edition and a 32GB SD card - Maybe I got a little bit too excited xD

You're quite right, it only voids the waterproofing warranty, but it is a bit annoying since they said they'd install the cards for us
I've heard about a lot of problems too (some people are lucky, others not so much.. seems to be "hit and miss"?), but the main reason for peoples annoyance seem to be all the delays.
I've decided to just bite my tongue and be patient.

OK Kalle. Makes sense to not use the keyboard a lot - it's a tiny screen after all

I'm looking forward to using Spotify (if it is maneuverable) for music when I run, RunKeeper etc, but the main reason would have to be VoxCommando

It looks like everything works really well already in Kalle's video.
The "buzz" on activate/deactivate made me happy - should be very useful.

Kalle: have you tried Minuum, Fleksy or SwiftKey/Swype? They seem to be the most interesting keyboards IMO.

You haven't received yours yet either, James? Which one did you pledge for, if you don't mind me asking? =)
I read that watches were being sent out without the SD cards being pre-installed by Omate. I'm a bit worried about that seeing as removing the back plate to install it voids the warranty.

Kalle. I watched your video and that actually looks really good! I'm even more excited now! 
I took another minute to think about things, and even if it activates when you move around it won't really matter since it'll only react to your voice commands anyway..
Out of curiosity, what keyboard are you using on your watch?

Very true; that's a good point! You've thought about everything it seems! Is there anything VC can't do? 

I'm hoping there's a way to give commands through the TrueSmart without unlocking the watch and physically pressing the screen everytime.
Maybe there's a way to make one of the buttons on the side act as a mic on/off toggle..
I'm not sure how I feel about the "tilt to activate" feature - I mean, I love it "on paper", but wouldn´t it activate when you didn't want it to (say, if you move around on the couch for example..)?

I finally got around to testing this and everything works as intended! Thank you both for the help

Kalle: The latest update says they'll begin shipping the EU version late February, so fingers crossed!
Do you use yours to control VoxCommando? If yes: is the mic alright or would there be problems recognizing commands if I am watching a TV show? =)

Thanks, Kalle

VoxCommando.exe -33000 "VC.EnableGroup*&&Netflix"   < Hopefully something like that would work! I'll know in a few hours

On a sidenote... How do you like your smartwatch? My Omate TrueSmart should be arriving sometime next month I hope ^^,
