About Remote+ Volume Plugin
This app is a FREE PLUGIN for DirecTV Remote+ Pro from Cognitial Mobile. You can try this plugin with only the free DirecTV Remote+ installed to see if it will work for you. When Pro is installed, volume and mute can be controlled from within the main DirecTV Remote+ Pro app!
You MUST have either DirecTV Remote+ Free or Pro installed to open this app. See those apps for supported models and be sure to get the other app installed and working before attempting to use this app.
MOST people will be unable to control volume with ANY app. That is just the way it is. See website for a detailed explanation. Essentially you either need a network-controllable television, a network-to-IR device, or a phone/tablet capable of emitting IR signals. Unfortunately all of these are somewhat rare. I'm the only DirecTV Remote developer who has even attempted volume control and the reason is simple: It's much easier said than done!
For more info and help on configuring this plugin, see the FAQ at http://goo.gl/42uoav
** CURRENTLY SUPPORTED DEVICES **
USING IR:

* More will come eventually. Send me an email to add yours to the list... but ONLY if it can be controlled over a network. There is no way I can guarantee that support will ever be added for your brand but I will try.
********************
If you find this app useful please rate & review it. Normally I wouldn't say that the more ratings I get the more I will update it, but with a project like this that is pretty much the case. Low interest means little incentive to improve on it.
********************
** REQUIREMENTS **
1) Working installation of DirecTV Remote+ (Free or Pro)* from Cognitial Mobile. If you do not have either app installed, you cannot run this app at all!
2) An SD card (removable or non-removable) must be installed so that this plugin can retrieve your DirecTV Remote app settings.
3) A supported device as listed above.
* This plugin app will still allow you create and test volume profiles even if only the free version is installed but please note that they only function from the PRO version of the DirecTV Remote+ app.
AGAIN: MOST people will not be able to control volume from any app due to technological limitations. This is not my fault and there is nothing I can do about it. People who can use an app to control volume probably already know this. If you are not sure, then you probably cannot.

Developer was clear the volume controls may not work. Have a Samsung and a configuration wizard was available. Still does not work. App itself is great, but without volume controls I end up with the DTV remote. Figure this out and it's a 5 star.

Great add on for the DirecTV remote. Great support too, emailed for help with adding a soundbar and received a response the next morning and had a new IR code a day later. EDIT 4/6/17 Emailed dev for another soundbar preset and was added a couple days later....developer really goes above and beyond with his apps. I highly recommend his DirecTV Remote Pro version app as well.

I really wish you'd add some more volume controls. I have a LG, but one listed doesn't work. I'd gladly pay more for that part of the app as I'm sure others would as well. There just are NO apps out there for volume control. Please work on this!

My niece misplaced the remote (turns out she was just sitting on it) and we needed to adjust the volume. Went to the play store and found this app. Works perfectly! Thanks! I'm using a Galaxy S6 and Sanyo tv.

Been considering leaving DIRECT TV due to severe dislike of the terrible remotes. This is 100% improvement over their system remotes! After using your app less than 2 hours, we've decided to stay with DIRECT TV & that's 100% attributable to your app! Upgraded to pro version without hesitation after 15 min & I would have paid 3x the price. They should seriously consider paying YOU a bonus for every subscription they sell! Wonderful app! Love this & our DIRECT TV now!

It seems it can only learn power on/ off through ir direct from the manufacturer remote. That's it. Not very intuitive.
