BloodyIron 24 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Well over a year ago I worked with Luke to get Emby improved to better interface with my TV that has built-in Chromecast Ultra. It's not exactly a Chromecast Ultra, but it matches spec. That improvement was greatly appreciated, however there's a problem with it that has existed ever since, and I've been meaning to try and get it looked into/addressed for a good long while now. It seems that when Emby interfaces with the Chromecast on my TV it doesn't "properly" interface with the volume on the TV. When I use the volume buttons on my phone it seems to adjust volume "before" it is sent to the TV and not adjust the volume on the TV itself. As in, I cannot actually raise the volume above what the TV is at, I can only lower it. Naturally, I have to turn the volume WAYYY up. A volume value of 10-20 would normally be plenty, if I'm using YouTube, or other Chromecast apps. But with Emby I typically have to turn it up to 40-50 (I think this is out of 100?). I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a feature adjustment, or what not. But I really would appreciate this getting placed somewhere in the queue to get addressed. I'll gladly help where needed! Please?

BloodyIron 24 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 Just now, Luke said: Hi there, are you using the web app, or our android/ios app? Android to Chromecast to the TV is the primary issue I've been having. I just tested it with browser Chromecast to the same device, and it has a similar effect, but different. As in, on Andorid when I use the volume up/down buttons I don't see the "volume" on my TV (OSD). But when I Use web to Chromecast, I do. However, when I adjust the volume slider in the browser, 0 on the browser is 0 on the TV, and 100 on the browser is 30 on the TV (even though my TV can go much louder). This is quite the curious situation! Is that sufficiently clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36876 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hi, so are you saying android works normally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyIron 24 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 No, both of them are wonky, but in different ways. I only included the observations for the Web version because when I tested it (as per your previous inquiry) I observed similar, but different, issues that appear to be somewhat related. So I guess I expanded the scope a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
