Hi, David! It's been awhile since you've posted here. Glad you're still finding the plugin useful and thanks for mentioning Squeeze Ctrl as another client app that supports the AVR Settings menu, although its inability to handle slider controls means that the Channel Level Adjustment menu is not available there. Regarding the ability to control multiple zones from the menu, I know that is something you and some others have been interested in for awhile and I have given it a lot of thought. The basic problem is that there is currently a one-to-one correspondence between an LMS player and a particular AVR/Zone combination. On the plus side, this means that you can theoretically have a different player assigned to each Zone of an AVR. These players can be any combination of hardware-based and software-based (e.g. Squeezelite) players. From what I remember about your situation, what you are looking for is a "virtual" player for Zone 2, creating a one-to-many relationship from player to AVR/Zone, which is more complicated than I initially thought. Just to make sure I understand the situation correctly, walk me through what you want to be able to do, from an end-user standpoint and without regard to technical limitations. As an alternative, have you considered adding an additional player to your system, either hardware or software-based? This approach provides the most flexibility and ease of use for a multi-zone system, especially when using the extensive player synchronization features available in LMS. For example, I have two Squeezelite player instances running on my RPi, one outputting through HDMI to my AVR under control of the plugin and the other through Bluetooth to my patio. I could easily change the output of the second (Bluetooth) Squeezelite player to go to a USB DAC and then to an analog input of the AVR for use in any Zone I choose. Just a thought.
