This is sounding great to me. I can help test but, though I have a duet
and would be willing to try testing with the Controller, I am more
interested in the functionality on the server side.

In other words - rather than sending the packet to the iTach from the
Controller, I'm interested in seeing it sent from a plugin on the
server itself whenever a "Play" command is sent to the server. This is
because there are quite a few ipad/ipod apps that interface with
Squeezebox but that lack the ability to control a receiver (I'm
particularly interested in using SqueezePad).

I had asked in this thread since you seem to have done the legwork to
control a receiver with IR from the Controller and it looks, as you
say, like the hard part is done there.

If you send the commands from the server it should work when the server
receives the Play (or other) commands from the Controller as well as
from, say, the HTTP API that something like SqueezePad uses. Then any
type of control application/device could take advantage of the IR setup
if they have an iTach.

Seems wordy, hope I was clear? Either way I can help test - I don't
have my receiver in place yet (parent's kitchen is being re-done which
is why I'm doing all of this) - but I can use it with a TV or some
other device to verify it works.
