[VolumeControl] Rewrite and refactor VolumeControl code #3410

IanSav · 2024-08-27T12:25:57Z

[StartEnigma.py]

Save the current volume state once on shutdown of Enigma2 rather than saving the volume on every step/change.

[AVSwitch.py]

Remove the duplicated volume control code.

[VolumeControl.py]

Rewrite and simplify the code.
Remove some of the Python code and use the existing C++ code in eDVBVolumecontrol.
Don't remember the current volume but rather get it directly from the C++ code. This resolves issues where some code communicates directly with the C++ code.
Save the mute state over shutdown, reboots, and GUI restarts. If mute was active when Enigma2 was ended then mute will be activated on restart. The mute icon will be shown and remain on the screen to warn users that mute is active.
Allow the mute and volume control screens to time out from 1 to 10 seconds (user selectable) and respect the user's selection.
Allow the volume steps on a single press of VOL-/+ to be defined from 1 to 10 (user selectable) per button press.
Allow the rate of volume change to be accelerated to a rate defined from 1 to 10 (user selectable) when the VOL-/+ button is long pressed. When the button is released the single button press rate is restored.
Allow the mute icon to remain on screen by long pressing the MUTE button. It will hide on pressing MUTE again or VOL-/+.

[InfoBarGenerics.py]

Use the updated method names in VolumeControl.py.

[Mute.py]
[Volume.py]
[VolumeControl.py]

Fold Mute.py and Volume.py screens into a new screen VolumeControl.py.

[keymap.xml]

Add new action map entries for long VOL-/+ and the VOL-/+ Stop events.

[setup.xml]

Remove old settings and replace them with the new setting.
