I guess that means it's time for 2.3, eh, Chris? ;-)

Seriously, I am ready for beta testing of the changes I have been
working on which I outlined previously. Here is a short list:

1. Synchronize the volume of the player client to the AVR volume during
"power on" processing. This feature was not functioning correctly
before, which would frequently cause the first client volume adjustment
after powering on to give unexpected results.

2. Fix the failure of the plugin to power on the AVR the first time
after LMS is started.

3. Fix possible command and timing conflicts when hitting "play" from a
powered off state, i.e. combining turning on the AVR and starting the
music selection in one command, which is supported but was prone to
errors, especially when using the volume synching option.

4. The volume synching option will now only synch on track changes and
not when the player is paused, as was the case previous to my last
changes. The fact that volume synchronization is now done at "power on",
combined with the fixes to volume synching in v2.1/2.2, eliminates the
need for synching on "pause".  In fact, the only time the volume
synching option should be needed now is when the AVR volume is regularly
controlled via its front panel or remote control.

5. A minimum of 1 second for each of the delay options is now enforced
in the code, again to minimize possible timing conflicts.

6. The default network timeout has been changed from .125 secs to .5
secs.  On a fast network, this will make no difference. On those that
are slower and more congested, it will prevent unnecessary timeouts.

There are many smaller changes which are not worth mentioning but which
I feel contribute to the overall stability and responsiveness of the
plugin. I have uploaded new versions of Plugin.pm and DenonAvpComms.pm.
Please let me know what you think and if you have any problems with
testing. Thanks for being so responsive and open to new ideas on this
forum, Chris. As a retired software engineer, I know how rare those
qualities are among those of us who write code.  ;-)
