Thanks ralphy!
I just inserted the line ralphy suggested in my Touch (stock firmware,
with EDO applet): success. I can set Balance for that Touch in
LMS/Settings/Player -> <modified Touch player>/audio.
1) ssh into the touch (remember the
Code:
--------------------
ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@touch
--------------------
)
optional) copy the original SlimProto.lua for safe-keeping, e.g. "cp
/usr/share/jive/jive/net/SlimProto.lua /tmp/Slimproto.lua.ORIG"
2) edit the SlimProto.lua file:
Code:
--------------------
vi /usr/share/jive/jive/net/SlimProto.lua
--------------------
3) scroll down to line 370 and press "I" to edit
4)
Code:
--------------------
<tab>obj:capability("Balance",1)
--------------------
5) press <esc> to exit edit mode
6) press :wq to save and exit
7) check that the file has today's date:
Code:
--------------------
ls /usr/share/jive/jive/net/SlimProto.lua -al
--------------------
8)
Code:
--------------------
reboot
--------------------
Be careful that you don't accidentally misspell the line to add, as I
did :-) If there's an error in the SlimProto.lua it will not connect to
the LMS server.
The first try's when I changed the balance and pressed Apply, the volume
control went to zero but after I restored, everything worked exactly as
expected. Note that the extreme settings (-25, +25) will completely
silence the other channel.
I think it could be valuable option to have a balance setting also for
the stock firmware Touch.
