Controlling volume Moode Sender via MPD (Multiroom) - voorstad - 01-17-2024 I was running Moode flawless connected to HomeAssistant, using MPD. I was able to control the music and volume from HomeAssistant. I added a second Moode player, and switched to MultiRoom, so with 1 sender and 2 receivers. I now am unable to control the volume via MPD. Any thoughts or tips? RE: Controlling volume Moode Sender via MPD (Multiroom) - Tim Curtis - 01-17-2024 What do you mean by "controlling volume via MPD"? Is this from a HomeAssistant screen?

This is what I find in the logs. Not sure if this is what you need. Code: this: RE: Controlling volume Moode Sender via MPD (Multiroom) - Tim Curtis - 01-19-2024 I'm not familiar with HA and so not sure what that file is doing. In any case after looking at the code, volume changes for Multiroom sender can only be made by clicking the volume knob. A REST API (command) could be created for doing this but it looks like it would be somewhat involved and so there would need to be more requests for something like this. RE: Controlling volume Moode Sender via MPD (Multiroom) - voorstad - 01-20-2024 That is a bummer. Strange thing is that all other mpd functions are working flawlessly and swift. Stop, play, pause is working like a charm. I can also browse my local media on the HomeAssistant and play them instantly. I can browse internet radio streams on HA end play start any of them on both off my moOde players (Multiroom). It's just the volume control that lacks functioning. Reason for this requirement is that I have a Button+ display (http://button.plus) next to me on a side table, where I can control my audio on the moOde. Start, stop, selecting radio and yes, volume. Until I added a second moOde multi room.. As said, a bummer.. So if I can help in any way to overcome this, please let me know. RE: Controlling volume Moode Sender via MPD (Multiroom) - Tim Curtis - 01-20-2024 The best way to help is to provide information that can be used to understand: 1. The format of the commands that are sent to to moOde along with with a set of actual examples 2. What communication protocol is used (http, other) and what protocols are available It's the only way to know whether or how a new command can be developed that can be used to control volume for a Multiroom setup.

While all of these rely on the common MPD protocol, not all implementations support all features, especially with regard to album artwork, embedded artwork and volume control. The platform will fall back gracefully if support isn’t detected." https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/mpd/ They do warn that volume may not be suported in all cases.
