Mute HDMI Audio Output: Command and keyboard shortcut? - Protheon - 2019-02-22

What's the command for toggling the "Mute HDMI Audio Output" (Settings / System / Video)?

For the keyboard, press F8 to mute:

Not sure which setting you are refering to as there's no "video" under Settings -> System and, tbh, there's no setting like that for Estuary. Maybe it's something platform dependend. Which OS are you using?

Sorry, it's under "Display" and looks like this:

I'm using OSMC, obviously this makes a difference.

Yeah. And it also looks like it's Kodi 17 (I might be wrong). Anyway, could you please ask that at the OSMC-forums. Thanks.

That's not a standard Kodi setting so must have been added by OSMC so you'll need to ask there.

Reply from the OSMC developer:
„This is exposed as a Kodi setting so it’s not trivial to toggle it.“

It's in CoreElec as well

Got it to working now:

Code:
echo audio_off > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/config

echo audio_on > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/config

Added a key mapping

Code:
<f6>XBMC.RunScript(/home/osmc/scripts/HDMI_toggle.py)</f6>

Content of HDMI_toggle.py:

Code:
import subprocess

file = open("/home/osmc/scripts/HDMI_status.txt", "r")

inhalt = file.read()

file.close()

file = open("/home/osmc/scripts/HDMI_status.txt", "w")

print(inhalt)

if "off" in inhalt:

    subprocess.call(["/home/osmc/scripts/HDMI_on.sh"])

    file.write("on")

else:

    subprocess.call(["/home/osmc/scripts/HDMI_off.sh"])

    file.write("off")

file.close()
