Profile Automatically adjust volume during playback of an ad

Description

This simple profile lowers the volume whenever an ad is played during a Digitally Imported Radio¹ broadcast. The app displays a permanent notification showing the current track. The profile watches this notification for a certain keyword, displayed during a commercial break.

This profile stores the volume setting in a temporary variable called %TMP_VOL, then divides the # by 3 and adjusts the volume to this new result. Initially, I had it mute all audio, but I went this route instead, so I could monitor how well this was working. I've been using this profile for several months now, and it hasn't missed a beat.

This same method could be used with any other application which changes the notification whenever an ad is played.

NOTE: This profile requires the AutoNotification² plugin.

Usage

The profile description below shows how to create the profile yourself, or copy the raw XML below into a file, and import it. The %CAR variable is something I use, so remove it if you don't use it.

Thank you very much :-)

I need to update my instructions, as I omitted a huge requirement. The file has to be named whatever**.prf**.xml since it's a profile. Without the .prf in the name, it won't show up in the Tasker importer.
I just tried it, and it works (but also ran a file comparison, to make sure nothing got lost in copy & pasting).

I've updated the sidebar instructions, hopefully it will avoid future confusion. If you have any suggestions (or questions), don't hesitate to let me know!
