OK, thanks.

Q: is the gpio-poweroff option another way of achieving the same thing
as the Squeezelite power on/off setting?
(The options states "Refer to /mnt/mmcblk0p1/overlays/README", but that
file doesn't exist).

No, I absolutely haven't been getting them mixed up. They were never
powered up at the same time. I know the IP addresses I used were
correct.

As far as I can see, my LMS (7.9.2) only lists the players currently
connected. Perhaps recently connected ones are shown in later versions
of LMS?

I only use local music. 
Mind you, I did wonder if the fact that LMS is running on version 4.1.0
of piCorePlayer, but the players I'm testing are running version 6.1.0,
might be a factor.
But that wouldn't explain why the Pi2 started working and the Pi4 still
won't.
And I still don't understand why the Pi2 started working when it had
previously not been.

But if you are confident that updating LMS would solve this problem,
I'll give it a go.

I know it sounds suspicious, but I am 100% certain that I haven't been
getting any IP addresses wrong.
I just restarted the Pi4, it appears in LMS with an IP address of
192.168.0.107, and when I ssh to that address and play with pcp-gpio,
the pins work as expected.
But they don't respond to switching the player on & off from LMS.

I even went to the extent of re-writing the SD card with a fresh
piCorePlayer image and starting again from scratch, just in case
something had become corrupted. But it still doesn't work.
