Hey there @robbiet480, mind taking a look at this issue as its been labeled with a integration (braviatv) you are listed as a codeowner for? Thanks!

@maartenpaauw If you have an amp connected, the slider won't work. Refer to the braviatv_psk custom component configuration.

[maartenpaauw]

@schmittx I don't have an amp connected. I use the speakers from the television.

[Hrupek]

@maartenpaauw have you resole the issue? I have the same

[maartenpaauw]

No, unfortunately not.

I can't set the volume nor switch the program. The rest is working fine. Any way to debug whats going on?

[Extreme79]

I have the same issue. Slider isn't working to set volume.
Tapping on 🔊 change the volume instead.
I've a pioneer amp (integrated as onkyo) connected to the TV (the slider for that device is working).

I also have the same problem, +/- buttons work but the slider doesn't.

The problem resides in braviarc.py. We are sending a float and the tv is expecting an integer in string.
Here is a fix:

247     def set_volume_level(self, volume):
248         """Set volume level, range 0..1."""
249         self.bravia_req_json("sony/audio", self._jdata_build("setAudioVolume", {"target": "speaker",
- 250                                                                                 "volume": volume * 100}))
+ 250                                                                                 "volume": str(int(volume * 100))}))

Now because of this #30964, I don't know how to submit a PR for this. It appears @balloob and @andrey-git are maintainers of this fork based off of this -- maybe they'll be able to implement the fix.

In the mean time you can implement the fix yourself if you're feeling ambitious.

[balloob]

Bravia is unmaintained. I am only on the package because I run Home Assistant. I am not involved.

If someone wants to fork the original package at https://github.com/aparraga/braviarc, figure out what is different in the braviarc-homeassistant package on pypi, add those changes and start maintaining it, that would be great.

Until then, all Bravia RC bugs will remain unsolved.

I'm looking into it now. We are currently at adac2af Based on my testing, everything looks good up to commit 28b431a. It appears 2719869 broke something with toggling the TV on/off. Regardless -- this will fix this issue and some other erroneous logs. I'll see if I can get a PR in.

[Extreme79]

I'm experiencing the same issue on my bravia XG series android tv.
Using volume buttons the volume change perfectly, but using the slider there's no volume change: tv receive the command (volum bar is shown on screen), but without changes. Probably the same issue described here
