Volume Keys/Brightness Shortcut No Longer Work After Update from 351Elec to AmberElec on 351MP
xcjs opened this issue · comments
I updated from the last stable release of 351Elec to AmberElec 20220627.
Some more information - I downgraded to the latest 351Elec release - both the volume buttons and display brightness shortcuts work again.
I don't understand what's not working, the buttons seem to work fine also on latest release? Which buttons are you trying to use?
Oh and there are 100 brightness steps so you may have to hold the button, our press it multiple times to see a difference on some used displays.

The volume buttons on the left side of the RG351 MP stopped functioning entirely for me after the upgrade.
The volume bar, despite being enabled, would not show up over the EmulationStation UI. There was no change in volume at all, even after 50+ presses.
Likewise, when holding R3 while pressing the volume buttons, there was no change in display brightness, even after a large number of presses.
This functionality was restored when I downgraded to the last build of 351Elec.
I'm accustomed to having to press a large number of times or holding down buttons for some time to get a change in the hardware.
I upgraded using a USB WiFi dongle and the built-in system update tool.
When I get some time this week, I'll install AmberELEC directly to an SD card and see if the issue persists.
Installing directly to micro SD card seems to have worked.
It looks like either something went wrong during the update or there might be a bug in the update process.
Ok, I broke the volume keys again.
It's possibly related to changing the theme or toggling another setting.
I got it working again, but I don't have it narrowed down to a specific setting yet.
There's definitely a defect at play here, so I don't think this should be closed just yet.
@dhwz Is this possible to re-open this issue at some point? Is there any information I can provide to help with this issue? It almost occurs on every other reboot.

I am also having this issue. A fresh install or factory reset will temporarily fix it. I can SSH to the device and kill the volume.sense.sh process and I'm able to use the volume keys again until I restart the device.
I ran
journalctl | grep volume
and the output is attached.

I'd be more than happy to assist more if needed.
Thanks for digging into this more! I didn't realize this was written as a systemd unit. If the issue is related to a shell script, I might be able to build a work-around.
I haven't had any luck getting @dhwz to contact me back in regard to this issue, so hopefully this helps validate the issues I encountered.
@alexander-billings Also, I did find a work-around that doesn't require a reset or re-install. Changing the theme, rebooting, and changing the theme back will also get it working until around the next reboot.
