Yeah, I want to run with 100% fixed volume. I just didn't think the mod would adjust two different volume controls at once.

The problem with having a 100% fixed volume, is that volume steps are way to big. I use the 0-100 scale on my receiver. And when clicking once on volume up/down, it jumps 5 steps, which is pretty substantial on my receiver. I finally figured out, that setting the "Maximum volume of DENON AVP/AVR" to -30 dB gives a more moderate volume in/decrease. And I can live with only going to -30 dB on my receiver via the app/phone/browser. That's level 50 of 100 and is pretty loud. There's no chance either to blow my speakers by accident. Another issue I'm having: Whenever I start playing music and the AVR is turned off, it turns on. Great! But whenever I turn off my receiver, either via the receiver's remote or via HDMI-CEC by the TV, it only turns off the "Main" zone, and not the "Zone 2". And I've never used "Zone 2" for anything. So somehow, when starting the receiver via the app/phone/browser, it turns on both "Main" & "Zone 2", but only turns off "Main". I've never touched the "Zone Option" in the mod's settings. It stays at "Main". My reciever is a Denon AVR-2400H. One request: My Denon receiver has the Heos system build in. It works in a similar way with an app, called Heos. You can play files via the storage on the phone or via an USB in the receiver. I recently also discovered I can use BubbleUPnP or similar app, to "cast" to Heos via UPnP, I think. One advantage is, that it displays on the receiver, which song is played. So it must be possible to send the title of the song via LAN/Wifi. Could that be implemented to the Denon AVP/AVR Control mod? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Akyhne's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71764 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60114 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
