Mopidy extension for controlling an Arcam amplifier
Project description
**********
Mopidy-Arcam
**********
`Mopidy <http://www.mopidy.com/>`_ extension for controlling volume using an
external Arcam amplifier. Developed and tested with an Arcam AVR-300.
Installation
============
Install by running::
sudo pip install Mopidy-Arcam
Or install the Debian/Ubuntu package from `apt.mopidy.com
<http://apt.mopidy.com/>`_.
Configuration
=============
The Mopidy-Arcam extension is enabled by default. To disable it, add the
following to ``mopidy.conf``::
[arcam]
enabled = false
The Arcam amplifier must be connected to the machine running Mopidy using a
serial cable.
To use the Arcam amplifier ot control volume, set the ``audio/mixer`` config
value in ``mopidy.conf`` to ``arcammixer``. You probably also needs to add some
properties to the ``audio/mixer`` config value.
Supported properties includes:
``port``:
The serial device to use, defaults to ``/dev/ttyUSB0``. This must be
set correctly for the mixer to work.
``source``:
The source that should be selected on the amplifier, like ``DVD``, ``PVR``,
``VCR``, ``CD``, ``FM``, ``AM``, ``SAT``, ``DVDA``, etc. Leave unset if you don't want the
mixer to change it for you.
``speakers-a``:
Set to ``on`` or ``off`` if you want the mixer to make sure that
speaker set A is turned on or off. Leave unset if you don't want the
mixer to change it for you.
``speakers-b``:
See ``speakers-a``.
Configuration examples::
# Minimum configuration, if the amplifier is available at /dev/ttyUSB0
[audio]
mixer = arcammixer
# Minimum configuration, if the amplifier is available elsewhere
[audio]
mixer = arcammixer port=/dev/ttyUSB3
# Full configuration
[audio]
mixer = arcammixer port=/dev/ttyUSB0 source=aux speakers-a=on speakers-b=off
