I've finally come around to testing the plugin a little bit. In the current version it seems to work beautifully.
I have noticed power does not sync well with my SB3 that has fixed output (100%) and uses the IR Blaster plugin. When I access the player directly my commands operate both the player and the amp. When the power commands are sent from the virtual player, IR blaster is somehow overlooked and the SB3 alone starts/stop with the group. The amp stays in its current state: player on, no sound. TBH, the alarm feature of LMS has the same problem, when the alarm has played for its full duration the player stops but not the amp. So I'm not sure the plugin can something about it. I think my workaround would be to untick power management from the virtual player, and access the SB3 directly. I use the PowerSave plugin, so after 15 mins idle the player and amp could orderly go off. Also when I have my Loop (via Airplay bridge) powered up along with the SB3, the virtual player looks like it is confused with is "volume" IR commands. Sometimes it will only send "volume up" (even when pressing down) and sometimes only "volume down" is being sent. When the SB3 is powered up alone in the group, volume commands work ok. In other words, I can power Loop off and then virtual player volume control works ok for the SB3. I'm not sure what can/should be done about this. 2 out of 3 of my SB3s are using fixed output and an IR Blaster link. Because of this most of the time I control players volumes separately. Pippin is proud of what iPeng's group volume control can do for me; it certainly doesn't confuse IR vol up and down, but nevertheless I don't use it with the fixed output players. Their volume ramp widely differs from that of other players so individual control is the way to go.
