I never got around to testing it out when I first put it in and just in the past few days I noticed that when turning my LMS players off the related amp doesn't turn off. I explored and found that they do not turn the amps on, or control the amp volume, just the volume in the player varies.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
I was able to find the time tonight to try out the updated plugin.pm file. I used the web gui, Squeezer on Android, iPeng on an iOS 14.x iPad Pro, and a SB Touch players native UI. All worked flawlessly. I am really amazed and appreciative for all that @SamY has done here. This has been on my ToDo list for years but never bubbled up to the top. Now I can use my phone instead of hunting down the iPad. I also don't have to panic when my AVP gets driven to 100% (-10 in my case) and attempts to blow my speakers out. I have updated the plugin to version 2.1 and as soon as I find my notes it will get updated in the repository so all can get the update. Once again thank you for taking this on.

Thanks, Chris. In terms of the volume synchronization, I'd like to more fully support the client volume up/down protocol, which comes in as a '+n' or '-n' volume change request, where n essentially represents a percentage that the volume should be adjusted. For example, the LMS web client sends a +2 or -2 when the speaker icons are clicked, whereas the Squeezer Android app sends a +/-5. I'm not sure about other apps but I suspect they act similarly. Running with debug on could verify that.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Hello all. I am pleased to announce that I have completed my modifications to Plugin.pm in support of safe and accurate volume management, and I would like to get some feedback. My testing so far is very encouraging. Following is a summary of the changes that are incorporated in the attached module, which replaces the versions I uploaded previously: 1. When client volume syncing is selected in the plugin options, the syncing will be done not only at track changes but also when playback is paused. This gives the user an easy way to re-sync the client after making volume changes via the AVR remote OR by using the new incremental volume change support outlined below. 2. A bug which often caused the client volume to spike to 100% when syncing to the AVR volume has been fixed. 3. A bug which prevented setting or syncing the AVR volume to very low levels has been fixed. Setting the client volume to 0 will now effectively mute the AVR via the MV00 command. 4. Incremental volume adjustments made from the client via up/down buttons, such as the hardware volume controls on the Squeezer app or the speaker icons on either end of the volume slider in the web client, which previously resulted in error messages or wild volume jumps, are now supported as simple +/-0.5dB volume requests (MVUP/MVDOWN) to the AVR. The downside of the current implementation is that using this method can cause the client volume display and the AVR volume to get out of sync. Consequently, this feature is only supported when client volume syncing is selected since otherwise the client and AVR volume would never get back in sync. This means that it is only available for the MAIN zone, as client volume syncing is not supported for other zones. Let me say at this time that I highly recommend using the syncing option for the MAIN zone. In fact, I can't think of any reason not to. In the future, I hope that this feature can be more fully supported in terms of keeping the client and AVR volume in sync at all times but, for now, it is better than nothing, at least in my opinion. So that's it. I hope that these changes are as useful to other users as they are to me and, if so, maybe they can be incorporated into the release version. Please let me know what you think and, if you are able to do some testing, feedback would be appreciated.

Squeeze CTRL controls volume by various methods depending on preference selections of which there are several choices. I use finger swipe up and down on the album graphic which also then opens up the slider bar left to right which can then be used. I have had the issue of jump to 100% volume at track change when vol sync is selected on one of my amps (AVR-2113), but I note that I am using main zone on that amp.

Sort of. It fixes a problem where the client volume can spike up to 100% when trying to sync to the AVR volume. This commonly happens at track changes when "Enable synching the volume" is selected in the plugin player settings. I don't have Squeeze CTRL and I don't want to pony up the $6 when I'm happy using Squeezer, which is free. Does Squeeze CTRL change the volume via up/down arrow buttons, a slider, or both? If it uses up/down buttons, they wouldn't have worked at all before the version you have now. Now they should cause the AVR volume to be changed in 0.5dB increments in either direction. If they are used extensively for volume changes, the client volume display will eventually get out of sync with the player but that problem can be minimized by using the "Enable synching the volume" option, which will re-sync them at every track change (now without causing the client volume to spike to 100%). ;) Is this problem synching the player controls something new that started with my original changes? If so, I would ask that you try the new version and see if it takes care of it. All in all, volume control management should be much more stable and predictable with these changes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Hello all. I have been using this plugin for a couple of years now and love the functionality it offers. Coincidentally, I have recently been testing some changes to plugin.pm which fix both problems reported by DAR. The simpler of the two, which takes care of the occasional log message "Can't call method "name" on an undefined value", involves moving one line. The other fix adds a few lines of code to handle incremental client volume change requests, which sometimes result in large volume jumps on volume up requests and always throws an error for taking a square root of a negative number on volume down requests. The change causes all incremental volume changes that are received in the form of +n or -n from LMS clients to be sent to the AVR as MVUP or MVDOWN commands, which change the volume +/-.5dB, rather than absolute MVnn(n) commands. I have tested it with both the LMS web client and Squeezer with good results thus far. The only drawback is that the client volume display can get out of sync with the AVR volume after awhile, but this is a minor annoyance that can be minimized by enabling volume synching at track changes in the player settings. If anyone is interested in testing with other client apps or AVR's, let me know.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Hi everyone, I have installed the plugin on my LMS 8.1.0 under Raspbian Buster. The configuration of my AVR (DENON S750H) was easy and nearly everything works fine (on / off, quick settings, volume changing...). Unfortunatly there is one show-stopper: While playing a playlist or a TuneIn radio station the volume of my AVR suddenly jumps from my selected volume to maximum volume. Most of the time this happens, when a new song starts or when I change the radio station. This is how I manually reproduced the issue (see also attached logfile): 1. I manually set the Volume to 8% in LMS Web Interface -> AVR Volume changed to 22.5 2. I click on "next song" in the Web Interface 3. LMS Volume jumps to 100% -> AVR Volume jumps to 80 (Maximum) Are there any suggestions why this happens and what I can do to prevent this? Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks, Peter. Just saw your message after I had already replied to Chris. So far, DenonSerial is working well for me, both on the LMS web page and with the Squeeze Ctrl app. I also appreciate being able to add extra commands after PWON, since I may need to change inputs on the receiver when I start up my squeezebox. I'll let you know if I notice any issues, but I really appreciate both of your efforts!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
DAR, For Android, try the app Squeezer - it allows changing the Squeezebox volume when the SB output is fixed at 100%. Plays well with iPeng and my DenonSerial plugin. Have you tried my DenonSerial plugin? I've always been under the impression that Chris' AVP control was nicer, but if it's giving you trouble, you might want to give mine a try. As for the web UI softer button, I think my plugin might take a different approach because I don't think it has any such problem. IIRC (and I haven't touched the code much in the last decade), my plugin always deals with absolute volume levels so there's no square root of negative problem. E.G. my plugin allows others to decrease the fictional SB volume and then calculates what the Denon volume should be, and connects to the Denon to effect that. And yes the plugin name is a misnomer: it can connect to the Denon over TCP/IP (I use a Raspberry Pi with ser2net exposing the Denon RS232 port as a simple unencrypted TCP service.) Good luck. owner of the stuff at https://tuxreborn.netlify.app/ (which used to reside at www.tux.org/~peterw/) Note: The best way to reach me is email or PM, as I don't spend much time on the forums. *Free plugins:* AllQuiet Auto Dim/AutoDisplay BlankSaver ContextMenu DenonSerial FuzzyTime KidsPlay KitchenTimer PlayLog PowerCenter/BottleRocket SaverSwitcher SettingsManager SleepFade StatusFirst SyncOptions VolumeLock peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
iPeng definitely works with the player 100% fixed volume and the plugin. He made a specific change for that. The player menu itself won't work and also I cannot use Squeezer on my Android either. The web browser should work though as I use that all the time. Here is your problem: The old receivers gave back an absolute level. Your receiver is giving back a change. You cannot take a square root of a negative number without going into imaginary numbers (we won't go there). Not sure if there is something you can do in the receiver to change that. Otherwise you are going to have to change that area to create a volume or perhaps find a document that uses a different API call. You will need a volume that is not a delta change but a actual figure. Sorry I cannot be of more help. Perhaps someone who has modified it for your receiver or had a similar experience can help out.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Thanks, Chris. Here is some more logging that occurs when I click the "softer" and then the "louder" button at each end of the volume slider for this player on the LMS web page. The error message I sent previously seems to have come from the "softer" command, which sends "new SB vol: -2". As you can see below, there is a different error associated with the "louder" command, which sends "new SB vol: +2". It doesn't look like either of these actions actually sends a signal to the receiver (i.e., there is no change in the receiver's display when the buttons are clicked), but the volume of the player goes up and down as the buttons are pushed, presumably through the internal volume control for the player. Clicking on the volume slider between the "softer" and "louder" buttons sends a signal to the receiver (i.e., the actual volume briefly appears in the receiver display, and the volume of the player jumps to the relevant setting) and the volume goes up or down as expected.

You might try to set Debug On in LMS and see what the volume adjust is sending. It will log the value just before that error. My guess is your device sends over a different volume adjustment than what was coded for.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Chris,
I emailed you recently about setting up this plugin for an old Denon
receiver (AVR-2805), but I'll comment here about my experiences in order
to take advantage of this group's collective insight. By way of
background, I am switching over from an IRBlaster setup as my final SB3
classic devices slowly die. My receiver doesn't have an ethernet port,
but I was able to get the Denon Control working through an
RS232-to-ethernet device. After fiddling with the serial communication
settings on the converter device, I am now able to talk to the receiver
over my network using telnet (via Putty) using the standard Denon
Control commands.
I have installed the Denon AVP Control Plugin (v. 2.0) on my Xubuntu LMS
server (Version: 8.0.1 - 1608617100). In the plugin settings for this
player (a squeezelite instance (v1.9.8-1294) running on an RP4 with a
hifiberry Digi+ card for optical output to my receiver), I have enabled
the plugin and input my receiver's IP address, but I think the other
settings are default. The volume control for this player is set to
"Volume controls adjust output" on the audio settings page.
The "power on" and "power off" functions seem to work okay for the
player/receiver from either the LMS web page or the Squeeze Ctrl Android
app (although I sometimes need to click through an extra off/on cycle to
get a response), but the volume controls seem a little jumpy, which
makes me wonder if I am seeing something similar to what other users
have described here. I don't see reproducible behavior, but I turned on
the debugging setting for the plugin and see the following error on a
frequent basis in my server log:
Code:
[21-01-01 19:03:59.6083] Slim::Control::Request::notify (2060) Error:
Failed notify: Can't take sqrt of -2 at
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DenonAvpControl/Plugin.pm
line 739
The corresponding text from this file is:
Code:
my $subVol = sprintf("%d",((80 + $maxVolume) * (sqrt($volAdjust)*10) / 10
));
I have no coding experience, but it looks like this might explain some
of the volume issues. Does the code need to be changed, or is there
something in my configuration that should be tweaked?
I also see the following plugin error in my server log, although it is
much less frequent:
Code:
[21-01-01 15:30:56.0019] Slim::Control::Request::notify (2060) Error:
Failed notify: Can't call method "name" on an undefined value at
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/DenonAvpControl/Plugin.pm
line 152.
I am happy to troubleshoot any suggestions. I also wonder if there is a
way to tweak the plugin to let me change the optical input settings on
my receiver. This receiver doesn't have "quick select" settings (as far
as I can tell), but the Denon Control commands for this are trivial.
LMK if that if I could easily add those commands somewhere in the plugin
code. Thanks in advance for your help!

There are two options: 1. Regular 2 100% Fixed volume I had no issues with the regular volume. Note that there is a bit of delay in the plugin when you change volume to keep it from overrunning the amp. This delay could be the source of the jumping perhaps in some cases but not for me. The 100% (set in the SBT) will send the audio at full volume to the amp and then the plugin controls it from there. But the slider on the SBT is locked at 100% and you cannot use that to change the volume. I used iPeng to adjust the volume in this case and I probably could have used the web interface too. For Android I use Squeezer which works fine with one caveat: For all my players accept the SBT I can use the phones volume control to change the LMS player volume. But for the SBT player I have to use the graphical UI control on the phone app. 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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Now I know what triggers it's "funny" state. In its web I/F there is a "Web Update" button (in addition to the two exposed through the remote's "Settings", i.e. "Update" and "Add New Features") which when pushed trigers it. It insists on loading a local firmware file and using it to update the AVR. In this state, any attempt to connect to the receiver's web I/F will land on that "Web Update" page, and any other URI is not recognized as valid. Even cycling the power does not cancel the state, even though the AVR seems to be operating as expected through the remote. Only pulling the power cord finally reset it. After that, the receiver notified that there's firmware update available, and I updated. All the preceding is just to let you know that the receivers end would not the be a likely culprit for what I got to observe, although; weirdly enough, I still can't directly connect to it with Win10's build in 'telnet' client, but the web I/F is working OK. Now, back to debugging the plug-in. It still has that new problem of not triggering the power on/off. Here's the part of the "server.log": Code: [20-06-06 11:14:40.8202] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (699) *** DenonAvpControl: power request1: Slim::Control::Request=HASH(0xc65150c) [20-06-06 11:14:41.2705] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::handlePowerStatus (807) *** DenonAvpControl: handling Power ON Status [20-06-06 11:14:41.2708] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::DenonAvpComms::SendNetAvpPowerStatus (258) Calling query for zone state [20-06-06 11:14:41.2721] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::DenonAvpComms::writemsg (350) Sent AVP command request: PW?

OK, talking about all things random... frustrating. After manually turning the AVR on and playing around with volume, now the plug-in and AVR started playing nice together again, and the power off/on works now. Hmm.

When I get around to it, I'll reset and re-configure the AVR, and then I'll poke around again, but for now, suddenly, the plug-in will not turn on/off the AVR (before there was no problem with that), and the volume changes in LMS work as expected, and the same regardless of the "max volume" setting.

You might try turning on Debug (go the Settings page and select Advanced>Logging and then select Debug for DenonAVPControl). Probably have to restart LMS for the debugging to take effect. Then try a few things and see what the logs say. It may give you a hint if something behaves differently. There is a lot of debugging code in there to let you see requests and actions. Perhaps some of the delays built into the plugin don't work for you and you could try tweaking them for your environment. One the max volume issue I have no comment. Perhaps they changed the API specs for your device. I don't know as my AVP is decades old. But again maybe the delays could help here so it waits longer for your device to function.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
I'm using LMS (on Win10) with your plugin playing into Rpi 4/HiFiBerry DAC+ combo and into a Denon AVR-X1300W. Things basically work, but there are odd things happening with volume. With version 1.5, the plugin would switch the AVR on, select the right input, and in v1.5 it would set the volume to what I wanted after much try&error which resulted in a 250% max volume in the plugin settings. That translated into 74% volume on the AVR. With v.2.0 this no longer works (the volume on the AVR is left alone), but that's not the biggest problem. With both versions of the plugin, let's say; I set the volume to 50% in LMS and on the Denon. Now, I start to increase the volume in LMS and somewhere around 85% (in LMS) the volume on the Denon suddenly drops to ~ 15%. Now, in addition to that behavior, in v2.0 the AVR volume similarly drops when I *decrease* the volume in LMS... often, BUT not always. Basically, the volume level control is quite unruly. Here are my (relevant) settings: - Delay to set the Quick Select choice: 0 - Quick Select Option: 3 - Zone Option: Main - Maximum volume of DENON AVP/AVR: 100 - Enable synching the volume?: 0 Enable audio settings menus?: 0 Thanks for any advice.

I figured out how I can install the Denon AVP Plugin with mostly the graphical interface of Ubuntu 18.04: Before installing the LMS onto a blank system I created the user "squeezeboxserver" in the Ubuntu Settings-Details-Users section and assigned a password. I then switched to the just generated user and installed the logitech media server according to this guide: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/Debian_Package Thereafter I pulled the plugin from the google archive: https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/denonavpcontrol/DenonAvpControl_1_9_2.zip I was now able to unzip, extract the whole folder to the path "/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/Plugins". After a restart of the LMS "sudo service logitechmediaserver stop", "sudo service logitechmediaserver start" the plugin showed up as active in the LMS web interface settings "Plugins" tab. I could now safely return to my default Ubuntu user. LMS and the plugin will automatically start up after a re-boot, logging in to the "squeezeboxserver" account is not necessary. I hope this will help other noobs that run into the same problem. I will re-post my finding in the "Manually installing plugin zips" thread. squeezehouse's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=67065 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Hmm.. Interestingly (frustratingly) today I had some unrelated issues with my Windows server system and now it appears that the plugin won't load. Can't figure out yet why. The changes I made were put in roughshod. Marantz (same parent company as Denon) uses a number of commands that are different than the ones in the plugin for Denon, including the Standby command to turn the PrePro off. I also added a hard-coded source selection for "CD" (the input I'm using with my Squeezebox) to the power ON function. Today I planned to add the source selection elsewhere to make sure it also activated if the Marantz was already on (the plugin skips the poweron function if the device is already on). I don't think I'll take it beyond these simple hacks if I can get the plugin loading again. There's too much code to change and not enough time for me to dedicate. :) The whole thing would really need to be refactored and simplified to be able to properly support both Denon and Marantz AVR/Pre systems cleanly from a high level.

Each SBT has its own DENON amp, and those two players individually are set correctly with the unique IP of the corresponding amp. I have not enable syncing of the volume on either player. They should be working individually. This has only started occuring since I changed my family room (two zones set up on this amp) SBT settings so that only the zone 2 switches on with the SBT and zone 1 remains off unless I override it. If I have zone 1 on with the TV feeding through that zone it is then that switching off the SBT in the lounge area (other SBT and amp) will switch the zone 1 off in the family room, but leave zone 2 on. Not a huge problem, but curious.

This may be because the Google Code repository is no longer valid. I have not touched my LMS server for years nor looked at the code for the plugin even longer. When you set up the plugin it needed an IP address for the amp. The plugin sends Denon commands to that address. If the amps are connected then maybe that's the issue.

Is this plugin still maintained? It's working well with my Marantz AV7703, but needs a few changes/enhancements. If it's not being maintained I might eventually make some time to hack the changes in myself, but if it is, some simple changes would best be done by Chris the author (or whomever is currently maintaining it).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Hmm... seems that this plugin uses the telnet way to talk to the Denon. As my AVR-X3000 won't respond to telnet at this moment ( I suppose that this has to do with a known problem petween the Denon AVRs and the router (AVM Fritzbox 7490)), unfortunately I can't test it: Code: [17-11-02 12:52:49.1924] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::newPlayerCheck (150) *** DenonAvpControl: piCorePlayerSala is: Slim::Player::SqueezePlay=ARRAY(0x689ea18) [17-11-02 12:52:49.1937] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::newPlayerCheck (176) *** DenonAvpControl: Plugin Enabled: [17-11-02 12:52:49.1945] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::newPlayerCheck (177) *** DenonAvpControl: Quick Select: 0 [17-11-02 12:52:49.1953] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::newPlayerCheck (178) *** DenonAvpControl: zone: 0 [17-11-02 12:52:49.1962] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::newPlayerCheck (179) *** DenonAvpControl: IP Address: HTTP://192.168.xxx.xxx168:23 [17-11-02 12:53:49.2032] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (685) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p0: play [17-11-02 12:53:49.2042] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (686) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p1: [17-11-02 12:53:49.2052] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (697) *** DenonAvpControl: power request1: Slim::Control::Request=HASH(0x7294820) [17-11-02 12:53:49.2062] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (704) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() Power: 1 [17-11-02 12:53:49.2122] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (685) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p0: playlist [17-11-02 12:53:49.2132] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (686) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p1: jump [17-11-02 12:53:49.2164] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (685) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p0: playlist [17-11-02 12:53:49.2176] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (686) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p1: open [17-11-02 12:53:49.2205] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (685) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p0: playlist [17-11-02 12:53:49.2214] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::commandCallback (686) *** DenonAvpControl: commandCallback() p1: open [17-11-02 12:53:50.2083] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::Plugin::handlePowerStatus (804) *** DenonAvpControl: handling Power ON Status [17-11-02 12:53:50.2099] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::DenonAvpComms::SendNetAvpPowerStatus (258) Calling query for zone state [17-11-02 12:53:50.2159] Plugins::DenonAvpControl::DenonAvpComms::writemsg (350) Sent AVP command request: PW?

Because the google code stuff is shut down. While the repo file is still there. The download link for the zip file in the repo.xml file is no longer good.

I have problems too when trying to activate the plugin. I can successfully activate the repo Code: https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/denonavpcontrol/repo.xml And after doing so, the plugin is displayed as ready to activate. When doing so, however, nothinhüg happens, and after restarting LMS, the plugin is still listed as not active: Anybody knows whether this plugin is supposed to work with the latest LMS version?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
Long shot to post in a thread that seemed to die in 2014, but here we go! Trying to load this plugin into LMS 7.9.1 on pCP and am able to place the same folder of files that I used in my ReadyNAS (successfully) into the plugin folder in slimserver, installed plugins - after restarting LMS the LMS gui shows that a restart is required to install new plugin DENONAVP, but after restart it is not in the list of plugins, plus the files have disappeared from the plugin folder! Have backed up the pCP via pCP gui after loading the files in. There must be a way, but I can't stumble onto it... 23244 Any help appreciated!

I never tested it for NET/USB, only digital connection. But I am not sure why there would be a difference. I assume pausing and then resuming play does not get it started either? The other thing to check is to make sure that your quick select has been set properly before hand. The plugin just switches to it. It must be set will all the proper inputs/outputs first. The only thing it changes on startup is the volume and others have had issues with that and turned it off in the plugin. I am no longer supporting the plugin but you can turn debug mode on in the plugin and and maybe it will point to an issue you can fix yourself.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
I am using the Squeezebox Radio, a DENON AVR 3311 and the DENON AVP/AVR control plugin (v1.9.2). For the plugin I followed the installation instructions at Google Code. So now if I turn on the SB the DENON turns on as well and it starts the defined Quick Selection (Net/USB). But, if I understood right, now the DENON should start playing the music, the SB plays. But this does not happen. It just goes to Net/USB and there it waits and does not play music. Is there a further setting I have to attend? puck08's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63271 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
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Denon AVP Control Plugin
It's a bit more complicated than that! My subwoofers are powered by a separate sony amp, this is connected to a home easy wall socket. I use Domoticz to switch everything. So when I turn my squeeze touch on, a plugin then tells Domoticz to turn a switch on which will send a command to turn the denon on and set a quick select setting and also turn the sony amp on at the wall. It needs to be clever enough that if the touch is left on but not playing and the TV or projector is on then when the touch turns itself off or we realise and turn it off then it doesn't turn the amps off because we could be listening to our tv/projectors through it.. Make sense?
