I have configured Volumio (3.179 on RPi4) for the OSMC remote control. image
here is my /etc/triggerhappy/tiggers.d/audio.conf

A couple of points I learned that are not in this thread:
to restart the service in V3 you need to run:

sudo systemctl restart triggerhappy

Not all events are on event0 so if you want to see all the button codes you need to run

sudo thd --dump /dev/input/event*

The volume control uses the step defied in the regular settings menu. If you use my config you should set the stepsize to 1 so that a single click on the volume up or down changes the volume by one increment, but pressing and holding gives a smooth increase or decrease for as long as it is held.
