I can not get any media player to land on a volume level of 0.29, it persistantly rounds down to 0.28.
I discovered this when I created a script to fade the volume to target volume over x amount of seconds in a repeat: loop and tested fading up from below 0.28 to anything above than 0.29, the traces timeline would stick at trying to set it to 0.29. So I created an event: action to catch the data in case my logic was off and “listened” for it in dev tools, this is when I discovered it was in an endless loop trying to set the volume to 0.29.
Poor dev tools got l l a a g g g g y y A F.
Next step was to try and set the volume via dev tools > actions, that failed and rounded to 0.28. Then I powered on all available media_player entities, 3 native Music Assistant (1 Airplay and 2 Chromecast) and 2 native Google Cast, queued them up in dev tools > actions, and hit submit… not one of them landed on 0.29.
Like W.T.F? In dev tools > states Music Assistant entities showed volume_level: 0.28 and Google Cast entities showed volume_level: 0.28999999165534973 (which I thought odd considering that I’m filtering with |round(2).
Anyone else have this? Anyone have any insight? Help appreciated, thanks.
