change forward jump length & sync volume control - MrSmoothie - 2014-09-22 OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS XBMC 13.2 (Gotham) I have two issues that I need help with. I've googled and searched on this forum and didn't find exactly what I was looking for and/or didn't understand the instructions. I am new to XBMC and Ubuntu, so please be very detailed and thorough in your responses/instructions. 1) I want one volume control. Increasing volume inside XBMC is separate from increasing volume outside of XBMC. Let's say that I have the volume to 50% and then I start XBMC, while inside XBMC I set the audio level to 50% as well. The result is 50% of 50% audio output. So it seems that I have two separate volume controls that works independently. Is there a way to change this so they are synced? 2) I want to change forward/backwards jump length. Today it jumps 30 seconds with the arrow keys, I want to change it to one second. I found some instructions in my search but it wasn't for my OS. RE: change forward jump length & sync volume control - fritsch - 2014-09-22 Quote:1) I want one volume control. No. The trend goes to per stream volume out of obvious reasons - we don't want to kill user's ears. Think of amps without volume control and user sets output to 20% in order to not blow his ears but getting output matching its amplification. We should not touch global volume - never. There is one thing where volume works "kind of global". This is pulseaudio with flatten-volume = yes. That way the "loudest stream" changes master control volume, which highly confuses desktop users. RE: change forward jump length & sync volume control - fritsch - 2014-09-22 Your second question is answered in the wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=advancedsettings.xml#video RE: change forward jump length & sync volume control - MrSmoothie - 2014-09-22 Thanks fritsch. I found a similar type of instructions before, which I tried and failed. But the wiki was much better. It's solved now! Sorry for not spotting it on my own Regarding the first question: " This is pulseaudio with flatten-volume = yes. That way the "loudest stream" changes master control volume" How do I go about this? You mean that I can change some setting to get desired result? RE: change forward jump length & sync volume control - fritsch - 2014-09-22 No. That behaviour only works when you run pulseaudio on linux with that above option set. It's nothing xbmc does for you, but this special audio server. RE: change forward jump length & sync volume control - MrSmoothie - 2014-09-22 Then I got all my questions answered. Thank you! Have a nice day. |
