feature request: fusionDSP easily switch presets

[kaba72]

I love fusionDSP and probably use the equalizer the same way many of us do: to correct my headphones. When playing through the main speakers, I turn the EQ off.
Turning it on an off in volumio UI is tedious: go to plugins / switch tab to installed plugins /open fusion DSP settings / ...

I think it would be great to have either of the two alternatives:

• a simple button on the main screen to turn EQ on/off or to cycle through presets (off /preset1/preset2/preset3)
• even better: if there was a way to achieve the same from the commandline, so I could use a button on my IR remote for it

I don't know to what degree the volumio plugin system allows this, but either of the two (or both) would be a great step forward in usability.

The comand line option, or even a REST API would be perfect.

I understand. We are thinking of that. But I can't tell you when... 😉

While waiting for a proper solution, I built a little workaround:
I created a shell script that manipulates volumio's plugins.json and then restarts the volumio service.
That script I call via two buttons on my IR remote - it takes "on" and "off" as arguments and enables/disables fusiondsp accordingly. Works like a charm.

The content in my lircrc to call it is quite simple, too:
begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_VOLUMEDOWN
config = /home/volumio/switch_fusiondsp.sh off
end
begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_VOLUMEUP
config = /home/volumio/switch_fusiondsp.sh on
end
