iTunes get/set volume?

[yokel]

I'm having a tough time wrapping my head around the best practices of how to use these commands to trigger a volume change.  I'm building a mini webplayer with roboB & webserver plugins.  Right now i have the vol buttons mapped to forward the commands to EventGhost.  Using the raise vol by percentage macro.  Ideally that's what i'd like to do in VC.  Could someone post an example of how you use the iTunes get/set vol actions?

The VC basic iTunes installation contain a "set Volume" command, so I'm not really sure for what you looking for, but this command raise or lower the iTunes volume in percent from the current volume.The command use python math, so you must first enable the python plugin in VC before you can use the command below.
Copy and paste the command in your iTunes command group and try it - have fun

Thank you, that was precisely what i was looking for.  Python seemed like the logical choice, just wasn't sure if there was an easier way i was missing(i'm kinda new to VC).  The screenshot below is the mini player for better explanation.  I don't have a volume slider setup.  So I wan't it to step up the volume by 10% with each click.  Again, thank you.

Nice to hear that is exact what you looking for, but in my case I would not prefer the percentage from the current level. I would prefer more for a example like: If your current volume is 23, in that case it will set the volume for each click on the button 10+/- like 33,43,53,... or 13,3,0  this makes more sense for me 


If you search more for this, let me know 


or maybe you can figured it out by your self with my given command.

That's exactly what i did.  It's posted here now.  http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2216.msg19164#msg19164
