Features & Capabilities

The Remote+ Volume Plugin is a free add-on for the DirecTV Remote+ app by Cognitial Mobile, enabling users to control volume and mute functions on supported devices. It requires the DirecTV Remote+ Free or Pro app to be installed. The plugin supports volume control via infrared (IR) on select HTC, Samsung, LG, and Sony Xperia devices or through IP network control for compatible televisions and AV receivers, including Panasonic Viera, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Denon, Marantz, Onkyo, and Yamaha models.

Due to technological limitations, volume control is only possible on certain devices that either have network control or IR signal capabilities. Installation prerequisites include a working DirecTV Remote+ app and an SD card for retrieving app settings. The plugin offers an opportunity to create and test volume profiles, which function fully in the Pro version. Enthusiasts can join the Google Group for potential beta testing and support is continually improved based on user interest and feedback.

User Reviews

Reviews are mixed. Users praise the DirecTV integration and volume control when it works, plus responsive support and multi-method control. However, reliability is a frequent issue, with setup and device discovery problems, limited compatibility with newer TVs, and IR range constraints. The Pro version is valued for added volume features, but overall performance remains inconsistent across devices.

Pros

Improves the DirecTV remote experience by adding reliable volume control.
Responsive developer support with fast replies and updates.
Flexible control options with IR and IP network methods, enabling RF-like performance on a range of devices.
Good results on devices like Denon AVR-S730H and Yamaha soundbars when properly configured.
The Pro version adds useful volume-control features and is worth the price.

Cons

Unreliable/inconsistent operation; many users report the app doesn't work or fails to detect devices.
Setup and discovery can be difficult; wizard often fails and IP/WiFi configuration is confusing.
Limited device compatibility; not all TVs (e.g., Roku TV) or newer smart TVs are supported.
IR control has limited range and can require being very close (within a few feet).
Some users feel there should not be a separate app just for volume control and experience variability across devices.
