Here’s one solution to controlling the volume…
Customising the Main Menu in…
Settings/Appearance/Skin/Settings/Home/Customise Home Menu.
To add a “Volume Up” menu to the main screen go to “Add”.
Now use the little “˅˄” to move the menu to the top.
Select “Set Label” and type the name “Volume Up” and “OK”.
Then select “Change Action” and this opens a new window. Scroll down to the bottom of this list and choose “Custom Shortcut >”. Type in the command “VolumeUp” and press “OK”
To add a “Volume Down” menu to the main screen go to “Add”.
Now use the little “˅˄” to move the menu to the top.
Select “Set Label” and type the name “Volume Down” and “OK”.
Then select “Change Action” and this opens a new window. Scroll down to the bottom of this list and choose “Custom Shortcut >”. Type in the command “VolumeDown” and press “OK”
Finally click the “OK” at the bottom and press the “home” button on the remote to take you back to the main menu screen.
When you select and click on the Volume menu’s they will adjust the volume.
