Integrate NAD python api as virtual mixer

[mika91630]

Hi,

I own a NAD D7050 amplifier, and I discovered this morning a python API to control it.
Is there a way, using the external mixer (mixer_type "null"), to integrate the API to control volume and amplifier on/off ?

The goal is to have a spotify and bubbleupnp fully remote experience with the smartphones. (no need to control amplifier volume with it's remote)
Thanks

There is a way, but you need to write a dedicated client for bridging between MPD's null mixer and your amplifier.

Ok thanks
I'll take a look for resources to help me understand how to implement this client.

You need a tiny client which listens for "mixer" events and then reads the volume level from MPD, transmits it to your amplifier, and gets back to waiting for more "mixer" events.
