Hi all,
I made a tiny patch to extend the SVDRP VOLU command. Up until now VDR only had an option to _toggle_ the current audio muted status, but no options to force the audio muted status on or off. I want to mute the audio via SVDRP and unmute it again later.
My usecase: I'm running mpd on the same host as VDR, if I start playing music with mpd from my tablet I can mute VDR automatically with a shell script and unmute it again after stopping the music. Using the (already implemented) VOLU 0 command also mutes the audio, but the previous audio volume gets lost, so you cannot unmute audio again and return to the previous volume.
Best regards Sebastian
