More of a question. Didn't know where to post

I have full control of the TV using Amazon echo. Thanks to you for the method to authenticate my PC. My only issue is that when I issue a volume change, it works perfectly except for when I have a Sony sound bar on. The volume change affects the Home screen but this value is not passed to system volume or the sound bar. Seems to be a HDMI/ARC or CEC issue. Any way to pass this volume change?

Very strange. Have not ran in to this issue, nor do I have a sound bar.
I use a home theater amp (Sony STD-DN840) that controls my volume.
How are your components connected to each other?
Does the volume change work using the SonySideView or other app?
Does the volume change work using the original Sony remote control?

Try running my DLNA Control Panel example,
Load your device file, or Build it from the device document,
Click on the Rendering Control tab at the bottom,
Click on the "Get Volume" Execute button.
Then use the "Set Volume" option at the bottom right of the tab.
(Enter a level different than it is now, then click execute.)
See if it changes the sound bar here. This is a totally different connection.

I'll try the app but having some problems getting the control panel to work. I've registered this pc with the tv yet the control panel says "false" for registered. Here is some info, maybe you can point me in the right direction. I'll try the android app also. http://192.168.1.254:1990/WFADevice.xml http://192.168.1.254:1990/WFADevice.xml http://192.168.1.254:1990/WFADevice.xml http://192.168.1.254:1990/WFADevice.xml http://192.168.1.232:49310/device.xml http://192.168.1.234:49200/device.xml http://192.168.1.219:49200/device.xml http://192.168.1.208:49200/device.xml http://192.168.1.182:8008/ssdp/device-desc.xml http://192.168.1.208:49310/device.xml http://192.168.1.219:49310/device.xml http://192.168.1.232:49200/device.xml http://192.168.1.198:52323/dmr.xml http://192.168.1.198:8008/ssdp/device-desc.xml http://192.168.1.220:49310/device.xml http://192.168.1.220:49200/device.xml http://192.168.1.182:60600/dd.xml http://192.168.1.234:49310/device.xml http://192.168.1.198:64321/bar-sl-ms.xml http://192.168.1.182:1812/ 6/6/2017 6:15:42 PM - Clearing Log file: c:\ProgramData\Sony\SonyAPILib_LOG.txt 6/6/2017 6:16:07 PM - UPnP is Discovering devices.... 6/6/2017 6:16:32 PM - Devices Discovered: 4 6/6/2017 6:16:59 PM - UPnP is Discovering devices.... 6/6/2017 6:17:24 PM - Devices Discovered: 20 6/6/2017 6:20:16 PM - Retrieving Device Description Document from URI: 6/6/2017 6:20:16 PM - http://192.168.1.182:60600/dd.xml 6/6/2017 6:20:16 PM - Building Device from Document: http://192.168.1.182:60600/dd.xml 6/6/2017 6:20:16 PM - Document Found 6/6/2017 6:20:16 PM - Retrieving Controlling devices Mac Address.

My setup is the TV connected by wifi and the sony soundbar (192.168.1.198 from above list) through HDMI4/ARC which is the HDMI-CEC. After doing some digging, I found that this is not "speaker" output but systemaudio or something like that. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Found an app that the volume control affects the correct tv volume and the soundbar just like the original sony remote. I'll do some sniffing.

The correct URL above to Build from Document would be:
http://192.168.1.198:52323/dmr.xml

@AmigaZoid,

Going back through these issues to clear them out, as was wondering if you solved your issue, and was there some information I could use to correct it in my API?

Thanks..
