Hi Guys,
I use an external speaker system (thnx to the zoelechat HDMIPassthrough patch), and I have mapped the TV remote VOL keys to control the soundbar.
Unfortunately each time a VOL key is pressed, the TV displays an annoying message claiming that the audio is controlled by an external speaker (exactly!!!).

Would it be possible to suppress such messages?
Thnx

It would have been interesting to see full model name on screenshot "[TV] Samsung LE...". AFAIK 'LE' models are either old or cheap (or both?) ones. I checked in usual firmwares, this option doesn't exist at all (anymore?). However, I guess it could be doable to patch standby in some way, but probably not from TV menu :)
Hello,

my TV is an UE40F7000, and yes this option was removed by Samsung about one year ago. I thought it can be "re-enabled" (or unhide) like libzoelpvr does for extra time before and after scheduled recording, I didn't think it was completely removed from code.
I hope you can do something because it's anoying to wait 2-3 minutes before oscam start.

I'd say more than 1 year, even D series don't have it anymore :)

Code: Select all

DeviceCommonUtil::DisableStandbyMode(DeviceCommonUtil *this, const char *a2)
{
  return j_fprintf(stderr, "[%s] Do not use this function since 2011\n", "DisableStandbyMode");
}

Probably, I already know how to "soft off" TV, but power key is handled at many places in many ways so that's not going to be so quick and easy...

I don't get how... RCremap? Or soundbar can handle user-defined IR keys?? Or simply done automatically by HDMI-CEC?

I see how looks like the ugly ARC volume gauge, but never seen that message. Could you provide a screenshot please?

Exactly, the soundbar can learn and use the TV remote

Screenshot attached, the message box says "Your TV is set to use external speakers. Adjust the volume on the connected speakers directly".
It disappears after a timeout.

BTW, I was able to disable these annoying message by simply configuring the universal smart remote!
Even if I am not using the smart remote at all, by simply configuring an external audio system in Menu > System > Device Manager > Universal Remote Setup, the message are now gone :mrgreen:

Yes just use your phone :)
I do NOT support "latest fw" at ALL. If you have one you should block updates on router and wait for it to STOP being "latest":)
If you want me to help you please paste FULL log(s) to "spoiler"/"code" bbcodes or provide link(s) to pasted file(s) on https://pastebin.com Otherwise "NO HELP"!!!
If you want root DISABLE internet access to your device!!!!
DO NOT EVER INSTALL FIRMWARE UPGRADE !!!!
