Unable to change volume about spotifyapi-net HOT 19 CLOSED

Yup that is due to a fact that its hooking to the wrong process. >there are more then one processes of spotify running at the same time. And the Correct one to couple is not always at the same place in the array of coarse.

Like in #50 i commented about this issue

Mrnikbobjeff@53ff432#commitcomment-14114814

Going to need something like int pid = p.Where(o => o.MainWindowHandle != IntPtr.Zero).Select(o => o.Id).First(); because i get more processes back from the Process.GetProcessesByName method.
The correct Id to create the GetVolumeObject(pid) object is not always first in the array.

Ah right, damn. No worries :)

Don't close it 😄 it has the need to be fixed 👍

True :P

I can not reproduce the issue with multiple processes on my Windows 10 Pro x64 system. Could you give me additional information such as os and architecture? And are multiple spotify windows open or why do you have multiple processes

from spotifyapi-net.

Windows 10 Pro x64

• 1 x process from Apps and
• 2 x process in background

(so at least 3 processes called spotify.exe are running)

int pid = p.Where(o => o.MainWindowHandle != IntPtr.Zero).Select(o => o.Id).First();

Should get you the process that has a windowhandle (where the other once have not)

This seems like a windows 10 problem, not ran into this with windows 7.

Could you add your OS @stuntguy3000 ? Maybe this will give us some insights.

I will deploy a fix shortly/tomorrow

I did not know that spotify can have background processes. Are they they when you start spotify or when are they started?

from spotifyapi-net.

@Mrnikbobjeff they are started together when starting spotify itself (and run in the background)

@JohnnyCrazy Windows 10, 64Bit, Home Premium.

Resolved ^

This bug seems to be back. Unable to control volume using latest binary on Windows 10 with up-to-date spotify client.

from spotifyapi-net.

@racquemis did it work before ?

from spotifyapi-net.

I couldn't tell. I've started using the Api yesterday.
Everything works great except changing volume, muting and unmuting.

Also doesn't work on the older Windows Server 2012 R2 OS.

from spotifyapi-net.

@racquemis Volume-Control is only possible on >Windows 7 (code)

I can't reproduce it, Volume-Control is still working.

from spotifyapi-net.

Hmm strange, can't get it to work. Throws the CO
Mexception on all my win7 win10, server 2012 systems. It's not like the mute command is difficult to use, so I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

from spotifyapi-net.

Does the full exception say anything in particular?

from spotifyapi-net.

Typical, now it suddenly works first try. Just did a recompile. Sorry for wasting your time. I have no idea why it suddenly starting working, but i won't complain ;)

from spotifyapi-net.

Haha, no problem, I know this feeling. 😅
