Onkyo volume OSD?

[Thor]

Hi,

I wanted to use the return value I get from my receiver, to make a volume OSD on my screen.

My Onkyo 876 comes for example with the return "OnkyoSerial.MasterVolume 51" in the eventlog. But when I pull the task over to the Configuration, the figure "51" doesnÔÇÖt come with? It's only "OnkyoSerial.MasterVolume" that comes over, so it's not useful for making a OSD?

Why is that? And am I doing something wrong?

Thanks, Morten.

The 51 is the payload of the event
Try

Code: Select all

Onkyo Volume {eg.event.payload}

as the text

Thanks, that works. There's no way that the payload number can be "translated" to the same db number that the receiver shows?

you can do all kinds of calculation in the curly braces

Got it working, thanks.

Another quick question, can I get the OSD to show me the time?

Sure. Use {eg.Utils.time.strftime('%c')}

You can find the tags you can use to format the time with strftime at http://docs.python.org/library/time.html

-jinxdone

Sure. Use {eg.Utils.time.strftime('%c')}

Clever idea to get around importing the time module, but this might break easily. So I've implemented a new object called "eg.StdLib" that allows you to dynamically access all standard lib modules directly. The above call should now be written in 0.3.7.r1170 as: {eg.StdLib.time.strftime('%c')}
