FR - Allow unmute video when muted by default

[patienttruth]

Thank you for this awesome software. I just set this on my parents TV streaming family photos from Immich. They're very happy and grateful.

Currently it seems you must change the setting in the menu to get audio for videos. Then you can mute. I'd like to have it muted by default, but allow unmuting. Do I have it misconfigured on my end, or might this be possible?

To make that work, you have to assign an action to a button or direction (d-pad) press.

You can do that in Settings > D-Pad... > D-Pad... > (assign an action)

Thanks for the response!

I did try that. I'll try again and double check my work/environment if you expect that to work.

Ah, I just reviewed the code paths and it seems there is a bug.

Basically, if you set 'mute' in the prefs, the action is ignored. Doh!

I'll make a fix then add it to the public beta.

Sweet! Thanks NT!

I have updated the public beta, which has the fix if you want to test it ?

@theothernt is play store the only place to get the beta? Do you sign up via playstore?
