Yamaha receiver plugin

Version 2.1.0

This is the last Play Store version as the plugin is no more distributed there due to the absurd Google rules that triggers way too much work for no purpose.

Hi, does anybody know if the plugin is compatible with the newer RX-V6A? And if the network commands that work on e.g. a RX-V667 or RX-V473 still work for the newer ones as well?

It is very likely that it will,
I have two different Yamaha AVRs (RX-V3900 and RX-A1070), quite a lot of time passed between buying one and the other, and the plugin works on both of them; furthermore, I also use Yatse custom commands to control other features (not just the volume), and both of them also share the same API messages. It looks like Yamaha, unlike other manufacturers, has a dedicated team for comm.software that all (or at least most of) their AVRs use (and who knows if other media hardware too). I suggest you giving the plugin a try. Installing, configuring and trying it is quite fast, and really worth “the effort” if it works.

Hey!

Where might I find a different plugin for Yamaha? Apparently this apk isn’t compatible with my pixel 9. Or if it’s something else obvious that I don’t know about.

Thanks for any help

It should still work just press details and ignore the message.

  1. Download above APK

  2. Download APK Editor Studio from APK Editor for PC and Mac – APK Editor Studio

  3. Unpack the APK with the Studio

  4. Change Target SDK in Studio GUI (on right column) to “35 (Android 15)”

  5. Open the AndroidManifest.xml in a texteditor (Notepad++)

  6. add “android:usesCleartextTraffic=“true”” to “<application” line
    so it looks like: <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@mipmap/ic_yatse_plugin_audio_dark" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/Yatse" android:usesCleartextTraffic="true">

  7. Save the changes and choose in Studio Menu “File\save APK”

  8. it requests a key - ignore it and go with default signature

  9. save the the file and copy it to your Android device

  10. Install it with deactivated security checks.

  11. As always: go in yatse to your host, open adit, advanced and choose yamaha plugin - done

or use mine:
