Portsdown 4 Update with Touchscreen RX Volume Control
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2021 7:47 pm
I have just released a Portsdown 4 update (Version 202109051) which introduces a touchscreen-driven volume control for the DATV receiver. Simply touch the far right of the screen, above centre for volume up, and below centre for volume down. Details here: https://wiki.batc.org.uk/DVB-S/S2_Recep ... me_Control
The idea is those who have built Langstone designs with the soft or rotary volume control can use their equipment for DATV reception without needing a hardware volume control. Volume settings are persistent between reboots.
Note this control only currently works for VLC (not OMXPlayer) when receiving DVB-S/S2 or DVB-T. The other media players will gain the facility as I migrate them away from OMXPlayer (which is no longer supported by its original author) to VLC in future updates.
Please report any bugs here.
