Placeshifter, Selection Sounds Heard On Main

[asthepenguinfly]

Ok, I've tried to search for a solution to this problem, but honestly, I barely know how to describe it, let alone provide keywords for it. As a result, I haven't come up with anything, maybe someone can help me.

I've recently purchased placeshifter so that tv can be watched in a separate room from the one the main tv is in (Using a computer of course). However, the problem is that whenever someone selects things in placeshifter, the main tv plays the all the clicks/selection noises as well. It can get very annoying to hear everything the other person is browsing through.

Is there any way to solve this?

I don't think the default STV makes any selection sounds (at least I've never heard any). So my guess is that you're using a third-party STV that calls Java functions to play sounds. Since that Java code runs on the server, that's where the sounds will be heard. You should let the STV author know about this bug so they can fix their code to suppress the sounds when running a remote UI.

Edit: If you actually want to hear the sounds on the client computer, then you should probably use SageTVClient instead of Placeshifter.

The SageTV core has the capability to play sounds, but as Greg said, the default STV does not play any sound effects. Placeshifter and MVP clients play these sounds on the server they are connected to, since that is where those clients are actually running.

I think the SageMC STV is the only one that plays sounds, so check the customizations forum for how to turn off its sound effects.
