Spotify enabled and playing but volume disabled? (Solved)

[irishwill2008]

Hi there,

I bought spotify to give it a shot with the system and works great!! But i noticed i cant use the volume control? Its disabled or something? Including the + and - and mute controls. Why are these disabled?

How do i enable these?
If i switch it back to MPD my volume controls are no longer disabled.

Thanks.

Regards,
Will.

UPDATE: I created my own volume controls using amixer by passing ajax commands to execute commands. I.E: amixer set 100% etc

Hello,

I have the exact same problem, no solution yet.
Anyone ?

Hi,

this is not a bug or an issue with Rune.
The used for implementing Spotify doesn't offer a volume control like mpd does.
This hopefully will change with next version.

Oh wow, now thats a real downer! Didnt think it was too separate platforms, thought it was running through the mpd player. (No wonder the rest of the options gets disabled and switches to another renderer as it says xD)

Thanks for the intel Frank!

Regards.

Hi Irishwill2008

Can you please post some more details on how you created your own volume controls for Spotify?

Thanks
