Now THAT's an interesting log file. It's the first time I've seen one
where two different players were active at the same time, which makes it
a little more difficult to sort things out but also reassures me that
the plugin can successfully juggle multiple players at once. Everything
looks much better with the volume increment set at +/-5. As I said
previously, you should experiment with different settings and find one
that seems to work best for you with the SqueezeCtrl app. However, I
would not recommend going lower than 3 in your multi-zone setup.  One
thing I noticed is that you are using the plugin option in your main
zone to "sync on track changes", which made me think about what happens
when the AVR is muted while a track change takes place with the "sync on
track changes" option in effect. I'm going to have to do some testing
with that scenario and possibly update the logic for it. In the
meantime, and not only for the purposes of this testing, I suggest that
you turn that option off in the plugin menu. With all the recent changes
to ensure that the player and AVR get in sync at "power on" and stay in
sync until "power off", this option should only be needed if you are in
the habit of using the AVR remote (or front panel controls) to make
volume changes outside the realm of the Squeezebox environment.
Otherwise, it just adds unnecessary network and cpu overhead.

With regard to your experience using the hardware mute, the preferred
method of initiating it is by simultaneously pressing both volume
buttons and I can see from the log that your phone is capable of
handling that well. The interval between presses, in that scenario,
seems to be under 0.1 second.  Pressing the buttons one after the other
can be a crapshoot and is only needed when a phone either doesn't have
separate volume buttons (rocker switch) or the phone firmware interferes
with the client app getting both button press events. So, if the
hardware mute function is useful to you, just get in the habit of
pressing both buttons simultaneously and you should be fine. But thanks
for taking the time to test the other scenarios. I appreciate it.

Thanks and regards.
