Yeah sure, was aware of that it was 49% for the first two I had before I
tried to reproduce it, so far not been able to replicate un-asked for
jumps specifically to 49% or 50%, so there must be another factor.

Fully accept and already stated that this may not be the issue seen by
everyone, but thought it interesting enough to open discussion on it,
Michael seems pretty sure that only "connect" adjusts the volume and
this is certainly a method whereby connect is involved in changing
volume on a player not playing music through connect. 

Whilst we are on 49% or 50%, during testing I saw quite a few instances
of a 1% change in volume, logs showed the final value what was
requested/updated from spotify me cache, it happened enough for me to
notice, but decided not to confuse things further.

I asked for "thoughts?" on my post because my initial thoughts were that
the App to SB player "connect" should be cleared down if the SB player
starts to play from another source...
However, I've just tested against an Amazon Echo Dot, which behaves
similarly, once connected to the Dot from the Spotify App, if I pause
play on the Spotify App then the connect remains in place. If I then ask
Alexa to play something from Amazon Music again the connect remains in
place and changing the volume on the Spotify App changes the volume on
the Dot... But the big difference is... if I then change the volume on
the Dot itself then the volume on the Spotify App changes accordingly,
so the volume on App and device remains in sync if they are "connected"
even if I'm playing music on the Dot from another source. This doesn't
happen with LMS, once it is in that "connected but not playing from
Spotify" state LMS Web UI Player volume changes are not replicated in
the Spotify App.

That to me looks like one issue with the plugin/LMS/connect
implementation - allowing the volumes to change independently whilst a
connect session is in progress.

Also don't want to muddy the waters further but just seen a case where
by Spotify App volume is set roughly half way along slider, Touch volume
in LMS UI was set somewhere around 80, after connecting both sliders
remained in the same place, music was playing (but not sure of the
actual volume because my wife is watching the TV so has control of the
Soundbar) I increased the App volume and saw the LMS volume slider jump
back down to 62%, so it looks like the volumes didn't sync until I
changed the App volume.
Interestingly in the log files prior to change to 62% the current
connect state shows a volume_percent of 49 and prior to that there's a 
Plugins::Spotty::Connect::_connectEvent (377) Ignoring initial volume
reset right after daemon start 

Gonna have a break from it now and wait to see what Michael thinks.
