My setup: SB3 with IR-Blaster plugin to control my pre-amp When using the standard SB3 IR-remote everything works as expected (power on/off and volume up/down). However, from the SC web page (player control), power on/off and volume down work as expected, but volume up does not (the pre-amp is not getting the IR command). The same problem exists when using the SBC to control the SB3. The IR-Blaster plugin is configured with the SB3 volume fixed at 100.
It seems like both the SC web page and the SBC are smart enough to know that if the SB3 volume is at 100, then there is no need to send a volume up command to the SB3. This makes sense in when you are using the SB3 as the volume control. The problem is that if you are using IR-Blaster plugin to control the volume on your pre-amp, you still want that command sent to the SB3 and then ultimately to your pre-amp. Other observations: 1) From the IR-Blaster plugin settings page, pressing the test button for volume up works the first time, but not when pressed repeatedly. The volume down test button does work repeatedly. However, after pressing the volume down test button, the volume up test button will work for one press again. 2) I think the SC web page is doing something similar to #1, but volume up only works once after the page has loaded for the first time. I have not been able to make it work again without closing the browser. 3) With the SBC, volume down works great. The only way to get volume up to work is after pressing volume down if you start pressing volume up before the volume bar disappears from the screen. Once the bar is at the max, the IR-Blaster stops sending volume up command to the pre-amp. Is this something that can be addressed by the IR-Blaster plugin or does something have to change in the SC main code (if that is the proper term) to get the desired results I am looking for? I was concerned about creating a bug as IR-Blaster is not a standard plugin. Anyone who is bit knowledgeable on this have a suggestion for me? I don't know Perl, but I am not afraid to make a simple change if it will address my issue. I really want to be able to control the volume with the SBC. I know eventually the SBC will be able to send IR codes for the volume on my pre-amp, but I was hoping for a quick fix until that time.
