I can install and configure the plugin, but it has no effect (e.g. Power

Ok, it appeared after several restarts of the server, but not sure it
will do what I want. I have a Squeezebox Touch connected to the AUXB
inout of my Denon. When I press PLAY, I'd like it to switch the Denon's
input to AUXB. Other things - like power on and volume control - are
nice to have.

Hi everybody,
I am trying to use this plugin with a Denon AVR-X1100W. One thing in
particular, which would be interesting for me is if I could display the
different multi-zones in the reveiver as seperate squeeze devices so
that I could select using iPeng's device overview the correct zone
Just a thought and this is based on using IR based control systems not
rs232. A lot of receivers will accept a source command when off/standby.
So for example if I press CD on the remote my amp will turn on and be on
the CD input. If I use power on with IR my amp also needs a short wait
before I
I got the plugin running just by installing the correct package through

Hi !
I'm trying to install the DenonSerial plugin on a vortexbox running

my perl version does not match.
Here is the error I got :

I just wondered what would be involved to adapt this plugin for volume
control of another amp (Meridian 861 in my case)?

Excellent. I'll just have to get the volume working. I have my touch set

Got this working on my amp if I set volume scals to dB. However it does
not poll the volume status. If i change my volume on the amp it does not
change on the touch. I set the time to 1 minute and waited a lot longer

This also seems to crash my amp, the only way to get the network

James, please try version 0.1.42 from my test repository. It now adds an

I have the same trouble occasionally -- the plugin doesn't see the

I've been meaning to add code to detect clear hung queues, but haven't
