It's strange as I power on/off players using proper LMS command so that
other plugins can subscribe. I had that issue with ServoPower (can't
remember the exact name) at the beginning and correct it. I also looked
at IRBlaster code and  it subscribes to power command

I'm not sure I fully follow. You mean the volume command on the SB IR's
remote or the IRBlaster command as well?
