Hi all, I need to lower the volume of a client (not mute) while I play an audio file, I notice that there is SetVolume in the additional commands of a client on the HTTP api but how would I go about retrieving the current volume?  Is this exposed via the HTTP API?

You maybe able to get that info for devices like chromecast through their API , or use some sort of CoreAudio API for Windows PCs, but not through emby API, at least not that I am aware of.

thanks for the info, since I don't know if the selected client will be on the machine i'll just have to mute it for now.

You couldn't guarantee that this would be accurate if we did have it because if the audio is being bitstreamed to a receiver or other device, then the app doesn't control the volume at all.

Yes it is in the sessions info, assuming each individual app is reporting it.

 

Ahh yes when something is playing PlayState also contains the VolumeLevel property, thanks for that.
