Stephane,

If you're running SqueezeCenter 7.3, you might be interested in a Denon
control plugin I've written separately from Aesculus' Denon AVP Control
plugin. Mine, which I call DenonSerial, doesn't have as many features
(no QuickSet, Zone 2, or delay timer support [well, there's untested
logic to turn the Denon off after a period of apparent inactivity]),
though I think it may offer one feature Aesculus' lacks -- the ability
to use an Squeezebox IR remote's volume keys even when the Squeezebox is
off (when watching a movie, I leave the SB3 off and displaying time &
weather info). Mine has only been tested with a direct serial connection
between SqueezeCenter and the Denon amp, and even there only for a few
days, but it *should* support network connections to serial port servers
like the Sena LS1x0 hardware.

You can get the plugin from my Test repository (use the Extension
Downloader), http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/slim7/repodata-test.xml

On my personal system I'm also running a modified version of Michael
Herger's latest MusicInfoScr screensaver. The modification is a new API
in MIS that lets my plugin provide an alternate dB gain value to be
displayed in the MIS alternate volume display -- so the MIS alternate
volume display can show the Denon volume level (-80 to +18) rather than
the normal Squeezebox variable output level (-49.5 to +0) for the
Squeezebox connected to my Denon amp. I've only very recently sent a
patch to Michael but hope he'll accept it or something like it, as both
my plugin and Aesculus' could benefit from such an API.

Stephane, if you try my DenonSerial plugin, please let me know how it
goes.

-Peter
