telly‘mote 4+

Works well on a local network but not remotely.

Have port forwarded and can access openwebif via a browser but not via the app. I guess VPN will need to be used.

The app works fine with port forwarding. In Receiver Settings, just set Cellular Access Mode to Dyn DNS and specify the Public Host Name (DNS). The app does not connect automatically via internet. You need to press the cloud button to connect.

Ok but...🦟

The mute button in the app mutes my VuDuo but the mute button in the widget mutes my Yamaha amplifier.

I have HDMI CEC enabled and I’m using my VuDuo remote to adjust the volume on my Yamaha amplifier via HDMI CEC.

Inside the app, the volume up and down buttons adjust the volume on the Yamaha amplifier, but the mute button mutes the VuDuo box. Very confusing and frustrating.

I wish this could be fixed but sadly my previous feedback has not been acknowledged.

ℹ️update

I wish I could reply to dev replies, instead I need to edit it. No, my review was not rejected, it was updated. Like this reply to your reply now.

I don’t think my setup is “special”, but why buttons next to each other do different things? Turn volume up and down on Yamaha but mutes the sat box? Yet the widget mutes Yamaha? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

I did contact you on the forum and as I said, my feedback and comments were ignored.

I mainly want to use this app for volume control.

Is this difficult to fix? Can I help?

I haven’t used the forum because my comments were ignored. Other people’s comments seemed to have been more important. The only way to get your attention was by changing my 5 star rating to one star rating, but apparently it won’t achieve anything either.
I offered to help as I do coding myself, but the rant about my comment is more important.

Why can’t you comment about the issue itself?

Developer Response ,

One star because a mute button doesn't always work the way you want it to in your special setup? Seriously?
You may be user zYx from the Vu + forum. There was a request on May 20 and I replied several times and gave some advise. Your comments were not ignored. That was 8 months ago and you haven't used the forum since.
As I wrote in May: "Please consider that telly`mote is a non-profit app and someone is developing it in his spare time, without any support of hardware vendors. Issuing one-star ratings will probably not necessarily lead to a higher motivation."
Sorry, you don't achieve anything this way. I will not help you with your Yamaha problem.

Zgemma H7

Works fine with Zgemma. No lags etc. Only nice feature which I’m missing is to change a design of screen remote. Maybe something closer to real thing or designer will be good.
