Well that's a "good news / bad news" scenario if I ever saw one. The
good news is that the response times for everything except the volume
changes are dramatically improved, presumably due to the AVR reset.
However, every one of the volume change requests continue to time out.
Also, just as with David's setup, the initial volume level reported by
the client during "power on" is 0, which messes up the volume
synchronization logic and causes the AVR volume to be muted until the
first volume request is received. The approach I was considering taking
in regard to that issue was to use the current volume reported by the
AVR in response to the "Z2ON" request which, in David's case was 58 and
which I believe represents the volume setting of Zone 2 when it was last
turned off. However, your debug shows that value to be 77, which would
translate in your system to over 75% of the maximum AVR volume permitted
by the plugin max volume setting of -10, which works out to .75 x 70dB
or ~53dB. Does that seem reasonable for your setup or would it be
excessive? It may turn out to be a moot point after I add in support for
the Quick Select command because the AVR responses to the QS command
include the volume level stored as part of the stored QS definition,
which can be used to synchronize the initial client volume just as in
the main zone.

So the biggest problem I see in your system, and the only one that can't
be directly addressed in the plugin, is the fact that your AVR does not
respond to Zone 2 volume commands. In reality, even that is only a
problem if it causes erratic behavior from the user perspective. Unlike
most of the other commands, there are no plugin actions that depend on
receiving volume control responses. Does the AVR volume seem to respond
as expected to client volume changes? Also, did you try using a
different client app to see if it made any difference in the plugin
behavior?

I will have a new version of the code ready in the next couple of days
which will address the initial volume setting problem. After that will
be the first version with actual support for the Quick Select function.
Thanks for your continued help.
