Everything looks fine from the Denon plugin's point of view. The power
on and off commands were handled normally, as you noted, and it is
ignoring all of the volume control callback notifications, as it should
when running with the player set to variable volume output. There are,
however, an unusually large number of playlist control notifications
such as "play", "open", "jump", "newsong", "stop", "index", etc., all
coming in a seemingly continuous stream --- much more activity than I
would expect from an ordinary listening session. I don't know if you
were generating the activity manually via the client app or if they were
coming from the AP bridge plugin. While none of these callback
notifications cause any action to be taken by the plugin, they do cause
some network and cpu overhead that could affect performance and possibly
result in "wonky" playback. Maybe you could elaborate on what you
observed in that respect. The good news is that the looping error
condition is no longer an issue and the plugin is behaving as expected
overall. I suspect that the wonky playback might result from conflicting
commands being generated by the two plugins. For example, when the Denon
plugin sees an LMS "play" command while it is in the process of powering
on the AVR, it generates a "pause" command until the AVR is powered on
completely, at which time it sends a "play" command. This is done in
order to make sure that the playback doesn't start until the AVR is
ready, thus avoiding cutting off the beginning of the song. The AP
bridge plugin probably also issues its own player commands, with both
plugins assuming that they are in charge.

Let me know if you want to pursue this any further but I'm not sure it's
worth the effort and the overhead incurred by the Denon plugin just to
get the AVR to turn off automatically after AP playback. You could
always set the AVR's auto standby timeout to the minimum value (10
minutes?) to ensure that it does get turned off eventually.
