Make pairs of adstatus outputs?

Jan 30 2011 | 8:03 am

Hi folks,

Is there an easier, more efficient way to do this? When [adstatus output 1] reports the outputs to a umenu, I get a list of single outputs like:

Off 1 output 2 output 3 output 4 output 5 output 6 output etc.

I would like to turn it onto a list of stereo pair outputs like:

Off 1-2 output 3-4 output 5-6 output etc.

This works, but I have a feeling there might be a better way. Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions.

By chance I had a similar wish just two days ago. Looking at both our patches, and taking a few minutes (and another coffee) I could simplify it to below, and make sure it works for all drivers and is set correctly when the driver changes.

Very nice, johan! I like the use of the [maximum] object, and using slice instead of regexp is much slicker, thanks. I tweaked yours a bit to allow the grouped menu to contain the name as well as the output number.
