Volume values should match receiver

[intrepidsilence]

It would be great if the volume values in Roon matched those of the receiver instead of being a subtractive value.

For example, right now when my receiver says 37, Roon with this extension says -43 which represents 43 db below the max 80db I have set as the max volume level in the receiver.

Is this something this extension can control or something that can be fixed in Roon itself? I could not find a way.

Do you mind sharing what the receiver is showing and what Roon is?

[intrepidsilence]

I'm not sure I understand. Those are the values included in the original report. 37 on the receiver shows -43 in Roon. The receiver has a max vol setting of 80. So Roon is showing a relative value of (80)-43 to represent 37.

Okay, so the plugin currently sets up Roon in such a way that it's exposing the values as dB. I suspect that the receiver I had when I originally coded this was displaying values in dB as well. Maybe there was an option to configure this on the receiver side - I don't know for sure and I do not own a Denon receiver anymore to verify.

Technically, what you are asking for is possible with Roon but it seems likely that "fixing" this would break the experience for other users. Thus the only option would be to make this configurable - something I will probably not be able to do as I don't have the required hardware to test this. Contributions would be acceptable though 😉

@jcharr1 what does your receiver show as value when changing volume? Does it differ from what Roon's showing?

BTW: is it fair to assume that #9 is working for you now, @intrepidsilence ?

I am not great with JS but if you wanted to work with me I would be happy to test code and learn. maybe I could get good enough with it to become a contributor and help out since you don't own a Denon/Marantz any more.
