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

For the keyboard, press F8 to mute:

"Mute HDMI Audio Output" (Settings / System / Video)?

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.

[DaVu]

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

HDMI mute - beneficial for users with old AVR's that need SPDIF only audio

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()
