Controlling System volume objc_util
-
Hi
Is there a way of controlling the system volume (not the music player volume!) from objc_util ?
Cheers

What do you mean by 'system volume', not music player volume? As far as I am aware, the system volume is the music player volume. There's the ringer volume and the music volume, but the music volume controls everything besides the ringtone.

There is no Apple-sanctioned way (public API) to do this, but this works on iOS 9.2 (things like this tend to break with system updates):
from objc_util import NSBundle, ObjCClass, on_main_thread NSBundle.bundleWithPath_('/System/Library/Frameworks/MediaPlayer.framework').load() MPVolumeView = ObjCClass('MPVolumeView') @on_main_thread def set_system_volume(value): volume_view = MPVolumeView.new().autorelease() for subview in volume_view.subviews(): if subview.isKindOfClass_(ObjCClass('UISlider')): subview.value = value break set_system_volume(0.5)
There's probably a less convoluted way that I don't know of.

@Webmaster4o notifications and ringtone on iPhone

@omz Keep up the good work! Your apps are brilliant! :) Thanks mate!

Does this work on iOS 10?
-
Because I am looking for a way to mute the ringer volume, and then put it back to where it was.
-
Did you try the solution above? Did it work or not?
-
I did, it mutes the music player volume. But if i wanted to take a picture without the click noise, I want to mute the ringer. I would turn it immediately back on so I wouldn't make confusion.
