Hi,

I use hdmi sometimes to see&hear a movie on my big tv screen, playing it on my laptop. It's working fine with KDE 4.3.4, I can enable video in krandr and for audio I have to move the hdmi device to the top in the multimedia settings.

Is there a way to do this quicker?
Are there also console commands for these tasks that I can use for scripting? Maybe with the help of d-bus...?

I'd like to have just one hotkey for switching both, audio&video to hdmi (and probably the same hotkey to switch them back).

You should be able to use the xrandr command to manually adjust the screen if KRandR does not provide a sufficiently powerful D-Bus interface.

Not sure if Phonon has the capability though. You could try switching the configuration file in ~/.config/kde.org/libphonon.conf

Hello,
I have the same problem to switch easily phonon's output. I hope developers will provide a command line interface soon.
Regarding video switch, I use xrandr

Code: Select all

xrandr --output DFP2 --auto
xrandr --output DFP1 --off
