Roon Extension: Denon/Marantz AV receiver volume control (GitHub)

Tinkering Roon API

Bumping this in the hopes that someone has an answer.

Got it setup with pm2 on my linux/core server. It works with my SR5010.

This is awesome, thanks!

Hello,

Maybe it could help some people regarding the last questions on external source control issue.

I tweaked a little bit the app.js code to adapt to my own need: “Automatically power-on the Denon if it is shutdown and select the appropriate source”. I decided to trigger that each time I change volume from the extension.

Scenario:

  1. Denon is shutdown.
  2. From Roon I start playing something on my streamer connected to “Media Player” source on the Denon.
  3. No sound, because Denon shutdown.
  4. Change volume on the Roon App.
  5. Denon start automatically and set source to Media Player.
  6. I am now happy to do not have to power-on the amp myself nor change the source.

Here is the very fast tweak which is working in my setup with a Denon AVR 2113 (in the “set_volume” function):

[...]
set_volume: function (req, mode, value) {
   debug("set_volume: mode=%s value=%d", mode, value);

   // HERE Start the customization to power on automatically the AMP and select the right source
   let mysource = mysettings.setsource;
   if(mysource === "Media Player") {
       mysource = "MPLAY";
   }
   if(denon.source_state.Power === "STANDBY") {
       console.log("AMP is in STANDBY, so POWER ON");
       let http = require('http');
       http.get("http://" + mysettings.hostname + "/MainZone/index.put.asp?cmd0=PutZone_OnOff%2FON");
       http.get("http://" + mysettings.hostname + "/MainZone/index.put.asp?cmd0=PutZone_InputFunction%2F" + mysource);
    }
    else {
       if(denon.source_state.Input != mysource) {
          console.log("AMP is not on the right source, change it to " + mysettings.setsource);
          let http = require('http');
          http.get("http://" + mysettings.hostname + "/MainZone/index.put.asp?cmd0=PutZone_InputFunction%2F" + mysource);
       }
    }
    // END of customization...

    let newvol = mode == "absolute" ? value : (state.volume_value + value);
    [...]

Is this a fix for the "Cannot read property “InputFuncList” of undefined” error? If so, I’m not sure what/how to do anything with this code’ Can you help? Thanks!

@Edward_Lee Not really, it is more a workaround for the problem mentionned by @Guy_Maurier on post #57.

But it permits only to turn on the amplifier (no to turn it off, by my amp have auto-standby after few minutes without any activity).

Having the same issue where the extension cannot access the files on my Denon AVR-X1500H but I think I know why. I did a bit of research and found others having the same issue with Home Assistant (link below).

Denon/Marantz have changed their REST HTTP functions as of their 2016 lineup (or most of them at least). Some of these have switched to using port 8080 as well but seems to depend on the model.

http://AVRIP:8080/goform/Deviceinfo.xml - worked for me to get device information. Looks to be similar to /goform/formMainZone_MainZoneXml.xml but with more information.

Some of the URIs in the thread below worked for me. I’m not savvy on this stuff enough to create a fix right now, but if no one else is able to I may look into it further down the road. It seems Boris is no longer working on this.

For those inclined, have a look here:

I had the same problem not being able the read the xml file with my marantz NR1609. This guy’s fork fixed it for me: GitHub - dfuchslin/roon-extension-denon: Roon Volume Control Extension to control Denon & Marantz receivers

68

The node-roon-api that version I posted was using was out of date and was causing an error this.moo.close is not a function which caused it to crash whenever I closed Roon. I updated the dependency and all seems to be working fine now. I’ve submitted a PR to @Boris_Pruessmann’s original github with these fixes. In the meantime, you can also use my fork here: GitHub - jcharr1/roon-extension-denon: Roon Volume Control Extension to control Denon & Marantz receivers

I also added a Docker image for it: Docker Hub

Hey there,
I was using the extension successfully (and very thankful) for many months without issues.
Since – I believe – Version 1.8 (atm build 831) it crashes after a moment of roon server being up and running. A reboot fixes the issue for another moment before crashing.

anyone else with this problem?

70

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the Docker version of this - I am a complete linux idiot and I just spent two hours trying to get a node.js server up and running on my Synology NAS, never quite got there (npm kept failing with a ‘double free or corruption (out)’ error).

Your docker image installed super easily using the Synology Docker GUI and other than needing to be restarted manually after I’d given it my AVR IP, it’s been solid. Super handy. Thanks.

AVR is a 3800H for anyone wondering.

71

You’re very welcome. :blush: I just pushed an updated image for an update to the api and a fix that someone else submitted to me way back in March but I didn’t see until now because I didn’t realize I didn’t have notifications turned on for my GitHub repo… So thank you, too. Because otherwise I wouldn’t have seen that.

One thing I have noticed is that the Docker will crash (and then auto-restart), whenever the video source is changed on the Denon AVR. I get the following error in the log:

CleanShot 2023-02-09 at 23.11.45@2x
CleanShot 2023-02-09 at 23.11.45@2x1964×1252 428 KB

73

Hmmmm. I’m not able to reproduce the crash on my marantz NR1609. Unfortunately, I’m not familiar at all with the APIs. I basically just updated the versions of the API the extension’s using to fix some problems and stuck it in a Docker container so I could run it on my Synology NAS, too.

74

Maybe we can entice @Boris_Pruessmann to take a look… or I could figure out how to disable the Synology ‘your Docker container crashed’ warning emails… :slight_smile:

Hi

Could somebody give me some guidance; I am a complete novice when it comes to code and using Git etc. I think I have installed the extension properly and it appears in Roon - Extensions but “Not configured, please check settings”

I have entered the IP address of my Denon AVC X-6500H but no success. The info in the Git Bash window is below, please help :frowning_face:

Thank you

Scratch that, Ive downloaded the updated version on GitHub - jcharr1/roon-extension-denon: Roon Volume Control Extension to control Denon & Marantz receivers and all now seems good. Thanks
