Peter: I am using PERL async libraries that someone pointed me to years ago. Don't get too excited from the Denon point of view because it seems to have problems working in the async world. It likes someone to grab the interface and stick to it from what I can see. So I constantly run into problems overrunning it with multiple requests, even when I wait a 1/2 second or more between requests. Still trying to figure that one out. As far as debugging. Look at my code. I have debug statements everywhere that have to terminate in new lines :-) I am stuck with what Denon does. I did not invent the interface. Like I said I decided not to be a hog and steal the device because the user may want to use it for other purposes or zones at the same time. Most of what they do with the SBS after getting it started is volume control and for me I can get in and out quickly. -- Aesculus Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aesculus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14876 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60114 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
