Thank you for your reply, now i know, that I am not the only one with
this issue.

Maybe it is worth noting: In the meantime I also switched to Denon
Serial, because of other issues with volume control in Denon AVP Plugin.
The main problem stays the same: With classic web-ui and also with
Squeezer app I am able to change the volume of the player, even if it is
fixed at 100% in LMS settings. The Denon Serial plugin recognizes these
changes and sends it perfectly overt to the avr.
