Good day !
I've got XBMC set up where it's outputing to 2 different TV sets through an HDMI matrix. I've got a problem where only 1 of the sets can use the sound off of the HDMI, and the other uses optical. Until I get a bit more money to buy a decent multi-zone receiver, I'm stuck with this setup.
No I have no problem switching audio sources, but some times it gets a bit confusing for other members in the house. I've already got a home "dashboard" set up that handles a bunch of tasks, and creating a new task for "switch audio to romm X" would be really awesome.
To do this, I need to be able to switch audio outputs from an API call. You can do it through the UI, so I figure it's probably not a long stretch away from being able to do it through an API call.
Also, second part to this question : Is there a way to switch audio outputs without restarting XBMC ? I've got a small process manager that I wrote that kills XBMC then restarts it, but it would be cool if I didn't need to do this.
Thanks !
Eric.
