You can turn receivers on and off, adjust volume, switch inputs and outputs, and control playback\u2014all through a simple API. The library wraps the receiver's HTTP-based remote control protocol, so it works over standard network connectivity without needing special hardware.\n\nThe package is lightweight, depending only on requests for HTTP communication and defusedxml for safe XML parsing. It's marked Production/Stable but dormant since 2021, so while it works for the receivers it was designed for, you should not expect active maintenance or support for newer models.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own a compatible Yamaha receiver and need programmatic control. The library is stable and has low install friction. However, be aware that maintenance is dormant\u2014no updates since 2021\u2014so it will not support newer receiver models or adapt to protocol changes. Verify your receiver model is compatible before committing; if you need active support or broader device coverage, consider whether an alternative better fits your needs."},"id":"rxv","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rxv","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/rxv.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/rxv/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2021-10-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"rxv","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Automation Library for Yamaha RX-V473, RX-V573, RX-V673, RX-V773 receivers"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73598,"position":14962,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.0"}
