OnkyoISCP plugin

[Mastiff]

I don't know if it was fired more then once by the plug-in (it wasn't fired more than once by my macro), since the error messages filled up my log file (from Log Redirector plug-in) completely. But I have set the timeout to 2 (I assume it's seconds) instead. I hope it won't happen again. But it would be nice with a limited reconnect, maybe five with one second pause between them.

Has anyone had success in converting the hex code that the volume is reported in, into the numbers on the receivers display, and displaying it on-screen, via Snarl or the OSD plugin? I have looked for months, I'm literally playing with myself, and mucking about with pasted together bits of code, and maybe someone has done this already.

That depends on how your Onkyo is configured. For most onkyos you can choose between Absolute and Relative volume.
The hex code should be convertible to a number between 0 and 200 where 200=100% (maximum volume) so 100 would be 50%. Or in hex: 0x64

[justahotbag2]

I believe it's set to absolute, it ranges from 0 to 88, my research is pointing to 0-87, where 88 says max, and the hex from 00 to 58. Thanks for any help in advance.

In that case it's simple hex to decimal calculation actually
0x58 = 88
Most programming languages have a feature built-in for that but effectively it comes down to 16 * the first digit + the second digit.
In this case: 5*16 + 8

The total range in your case:

Code: Select all

0x00 =  0
0x01 =  1
0x02 =  2
0x03 =  3
0x04 =  4
0x05 =  5
0x06 =  6
0x07 =  7
0x08 =  8
0x09 =  9
0x0A = 10
0x0B = 11
0x0C = 12
0x0D = 13
0x0E = 14
0x0F = 15
0x10 = 16
0x11 = 17
0x12 = 18
0x13 = 19
0x14 = 20
0x15 = 21
0x16 = 22
0x17 = 23
0x18 = 24
0x19 = 25
0x1A = 26
0x1B = 27
0x1C = 28
0x1D = 29
0x1E = 30
0x1F = 31
0x20 = 32
0x21 = 33
0x22 = 34
0x23 = 35
0x24 = 36
0x25 = 37
0x26 = 38
0x27 = 39
0x28 = 40
0x29 = 41
0x2A = 42
0x2B = 43
0x2C = 44
0x2D = 45
0x2E = 46
0x2F = 47
0x30 = 48
0x31 = 49
0x32 = 50
0x33 = 51
0x34 = 52
0x35 = 53
0x36 = 54
0x37 = 55
0x38 = 56
0x39 = 57
0x3A = 58
0x3B = 59
0x3C = 60
0x3D = 61
0x3E = 62
0x3F = 63
0x40 = 64
0x41 = 65
0x42 = 66
0x43 = 67
0x44 = 68
0x45 = 69
0x46 = 70
0x47 = 71
0x48 = 72
0x49 = 73
0x4A = 74
0x4B = 75
0x4C = 76
0x4D = 77
0x4E = 78
0x4F = 79
0x50 = 80
0x51 = 81
0x52 = 82
0x53 = 83
0x54 = 84
0x55 = 85
0x56 = 86
0x57 = 87
0x58 = 88

The thing to keep in mind with hexadecimal is that it goes from 0-F instead of 0-9
So 10 in decimal is A in hexadecimal and 15 in decimal is F in hexadecimal.

Which means that if you want to set the volume to 50 we need to divide by 16 and add the remainder:
50 / 16 = 3.125 which means the first digit will be 3.
50 - (3 * 16) = 2 so the second digit will be 2.
Conclusion: 50 = 0x32

Thank you. I'm trying it get it the other way around, the onkyo plugin spits out hex to start with, but at least now I understand the concept. I'll just have to learn a little coding to get it done.

[WoLpH]

It depends on the programming language, but for Python you can do the following

Code: Select all

# Assuming x is a hexadecimal string:
x = '123'
# Convert to decimal from hexadecimal string
y = int(x, 16)
# Convert to decimal from decimal string
z = int(x, 10)
# Convert number to hex:
x = hex(123)

Sir... Dear Sir, (I assuming you're a sir) may I take a second to bromance you? If only you knew the lengthy crap I had pasted as code from others posts. The fact that it was built in, and such a short piece of code, I should stomp my own foot. Sir, I should spin, dance, and sway you around the room like a Disney princess that has just finished her dress for the ball. A simple thank you, just won't do.

LOL

You're welcome

[kgschlosser]

ok that is friggin hysterical!

[kgschlosser]

but Wolf.. you forgot about ordinal

[WoLpH]

but Wolf.. you forgot about ordinal

Yes, but is it relevant here? (assuming you meant octal btw)

[kgschlosser]

ord()

chr() converts a int() to a str()
ord() converts a str() to an int()
hex() converts an int() to a str() of hex

so to convert a str() to hex() would be hex(ord(str()))


if i remember right it does.. this only works on a single char

[WoLpH]

Ah, now I see what you mean. He probably won't need it here but it's useful to know indeed

Similarly, don't forget about unichr for the unicode version of that command
