Description Simon Turner 2008-09-01 13:29:31 UTC

I use headphones on my Boom quite a bit. I'd like to easily switch the Boom Line Out between headphones and speakers. This would be helped if I could add the Settings/Audio/Line Out item to my top level player menu via the web ui.

BTW. Which Component choice does this fit... Audio, Front Panel, Hardware or SetUp? I've chosen Audio 'cos I know Caleb uses headphones.  :-)

Ben/Michael:  Can you guys make this a home-menu capable item?  Can this be done in one place?

Comment 2 Ben Klaas 2008-09-23 08:32:57 UTC

there already is a home-menu capable item for line out on SBC

Settings->Audio->Line Out

and then if you want it on the top menu
Settings->Home Menu, then check box for Line Out item

Comment 3 Simon Turner 2008-09-24 03:06:37 UTC

I tried to raise this bug for the (Boom) player interface and web gui (for the settings) only, but think I chose the wrong category. Maybe it should have been SqueezeCenter, not Boom. Sorry.

As it is complimentary to this bug:
https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9051
which is currently scheduled for 7.2.1 I'm surprised to see it punted to 7.3 though (especially as it "appears" simple to cure).

Comment 4 Michael Herger 2008-10-03 00:51:43 UTC

I'd say this bug depends on 9051: that menu option only makes sense if we have always on/off modes. Selecting sub or head out doesn't make sense in your situation, does it?

Comment 5 Simon Turner 2008-10-03 00:54:37 UTC

Dead right Michael.
In essence all I am really interested in is being able to choose between speakers and headphones from the top level of the Boom player menu.

Comment 6 Michael Herger 2008-10-03 03:41:56 UTC

Simon - there's now a plugin to add the menu. But I've disabled it by default, as it's of little use without the additional DSP/firmware change we need to enable the "Line out off" mode.

Removing SubHeadOut plugin again...

I'm sorry Simon - I've remove the plugin, as there needs to be more planning and work in bug 9051. Attaching the code for future use...

Comment 9 Michael Herger 2008-10-09 03:57:47 UTC

change 23488 - add optional (disabled by default) Line Out plugin which adds those settings to the web/player main menu. Controller is covered by the Controller's menu configuration applet.

Comment 10 James Richardson 2008-12-15 12:06:46 UTC

This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.0 release version of SqueezeCenter!

Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already.  

If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
