Methods

addEventListener ( type , listener )

This method registers an event listener for a specific event. Multiple listeners can be added for the same event. Events are broadcast to all registered listeners.

Inherited From:

  • ToiEventTarget#addEventListener

Parameters:

Name Type Description
type number

The event type of the event to subscribe to.
listener ToiEventListener

The JavaScript function that will receive events.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException Raised if the event type is not supported by this object or if the listener is not a valid JavaScript function. This exception is also raised if the application calls addEventListener with the same combination of type and listener twice.
createConfigurationSession ( )  → ToiAudioOutputConfigurationSession

Creates and returns a session to change the audio output configuration. The session is active between this call and either ToiAudioOutputConfigurationSession#apply or ToiAudioOutputConfigurationSession#revert.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if the application identifier is invalid.
ToiInvalidPreconditionException

Raised if another session is active.

Returns:

The ToiAudioOutputConfigurationSession address.

Type: ToiAudioOutputConfigurationSession
getConfiguration ( )  → ToiAudioOutputConfiguration

Returns the audio output configuration.

Returns:

The ToiAudioOutputConfiguration address.

Type: ToiAudioOutputConfiguration
getConnections ( )  → Array.<ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionDescriptor>

Returns available audio connections.

Returns:

The list available audio connections.

Type: Array.<ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionDescriptor>
getLatency ( connectionId )  → latency

Returns the audio latency of a connection.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
connectionId ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionId

The identifier of the connection to query.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if there is no such connection.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if the latency for the connection is not adjustable.

Returns:

The audio latency in milliseconds.

Type: number
getMasterVolume ( )  → level

Returns the master audio volume level of the system. Possible level range from 0 and 100 where 0 is the lowest volume and 100 the highest volume.

See ToiAudioOutputService#setMasterVolume for a description of what connection(s) are used for the master volume. If multiple connections are used the value of one will be returned. The one used will be the HDMI connection if available, otherwise the analog connection, otherwise the first one found.

If ToiAudioOutputService#setVolume has been used to modify the individual levels of connections since the last call to ToiAudioOutputService#setMasterVolume the value might not be the actual level used on all output connections.

If the master volume could be set on the decoder input the value returned will be calculated by scaling the decoder volume level using the output volume of the output most likely to be connected, that is the same as the one that had been used if decoder was not adjustable, HDMI if available, otherwise analog, otherwise the first one found.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if the application identifier is invalid.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if it was not possible to find any adjustable connections.

Returns:

The volume level.

Type: number
getMuteState ( connectionId )  → state

Returns the mutes state of a connection.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
connectionId ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionId

The identifier of the connection to query.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if there is no such connection.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if the connection is not mutable.

Returns:

The mute state.

Type: boolean
getVolume ( connectionId )  → level

Returns the audio volume level of a connection. Possible level range from 0 and 100 where 0 is the lowest volume and 100 the highest volume.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
connectionId ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionId

The identifier of the connection to query.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if there is no such connection.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if the volume for the connection is not adjustable.

Returns:

The volume level.

Type: number
removeEventListener ( type , listener )

This method removes an event listener for a specific event.

Inherited From:

  • ToiEventTarget#removeEventListener

Parameters:

Name Type Description
type number

The event type of the event to remove the listener from.
listener ToiEventListener

The JavaScript function that was previously added as an event listener.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException Raised if the event type is not supported by this object or if the listener is not a valid JavaScript function. This exception is also raised if the listener has not previously been added.
setLatency ( connectionId , latency )

Set an audio connection audio latency. latency is in milliseconds. This should affect all audio formats. If the latency parameter is out of range, the closest supported value is set. Setting the latency for one connection may impact the latency for other connections. In this case, the ToiAudioOutputLatencyChangedEvent will be notified on the impacted connections.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
connectionId ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionId

The identifier of the connection for which the audio latency will be changed.
latency number

The desired audio latency in milliseconds.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if there is no such connection.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if the latency for the connection is not adjustable.
setMasterVolume ( level )

Set the master audio output volume. The level can be adjusted between 0 and 100 where 0 is the lowest volume and 100 the highest volume.

This will affect the volume on one or more audio connections depending on platform and hardware capabilities. If possible the volume will be adjusted on the decoder connection, because a change there will automatically affect all audio outputs. This will also set all adjustable output connections to 100 (maximum volume). If the decoder volume connection is not adjustable the volume will instead be applied to all outputs that are adjustable.

Not all audio might be affected by changing the master volume. Any passthrough audio will not be affected by volume adjustments.

ToiAudioOutputVolumeChangedEvent will be notified on the impacted connections, followed one call to ToiAudioOutputMasterVolumeChangedEvent.

This method will override previous calls to ToiAudioOutputService#setVolume on individual channels.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
level number

The desired volume level.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if the application identifier is invalid or the level is outside the allowed interval.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if it was not possible to find any adjustable connections.
setMuteState ( connectionId , state )

Sets the mute state of a connection.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
connectionId ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionId

The identifier of the connection to query.
state boolean

The desired mute state.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if there is no such connection.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if the connection is not mutable or it is currently enforced to mute due to DRM restriction.
setVolume ( connectionId , level )

Set an audio connection volume level. The level can be adjusted between 0 and 100 where 0 is the lowest volume and 100 the highest volume. The volume is only affected if the content is decoded or non compressed.

ToiAudioOutputVolumeChangedEvent will be notified.

If the connection is one that will be used in calculating the returned level for ToiAudioOutputService#getMasterVolume ToiAudioOutputMasterVolumeChangedEvent will be notified. It is possible that the experienced end-user volume will be modified even if changing the volume on other connections.

Parameters:

Name Type Description
connectionId ToiAudioOutputService.ToiAudioConnectionId

The identifier of the connection for which the volume will be changed.
level number

The desired volume level.

Throws:

ToiInvalidArgumentException

Raised if there is no such connection or if the level is outside the allowed interval.
ToiOperationNotSupportedException

Raised if the volume for the connection is not adjustable.
