Pioneer Driver Initial Look

Thanks for putting together the Pioneer AVR driver!

I put it through the initial paces.  The first issue is when I tried to discover the AVR it created entries for the three zones, but the IP address was for my HP laser printer.  I corrected the IP address and was able to connect to the AVR

For the most part the commands seemed to work:

• Mute on and off worked.  Mute toggle sent the Mute Off command (MF), not toggle (MZ)
• Volume Up and Down with no steps specified worked correctly.  Two steps for each of these repeated the the command twice.  Setting the volume to 25 command the volume to 46, which is 25% of the max (185, +12.0db), which seems correct.
• I'm limited in what changes I can make on the input right now (someone is working in the room with the AVR), but it correctly set the source to HDMI3.
• The Power commands don't seem to be correct; it appears Power On and Off are reversed.  I tried to send Power On (PO), and MyServer sent the Power Off command (PF).  When I tried to send Power Off (PF), it sent Power on instead (PO).  Power Toggle sent Power On (PO), not toggle (PZ).  Also, Power On wasn't being sent twice, which is needed to send the command.

The AVR was sending the FL display data as a response to the commands, which happened when the screen changed to reflect the command it was sent.  Looking at the responses, when the Mute On command was sent, it responded with FL with the display of "   MUTE ON   ", acknowledged the Mute On command "MUT0" and then sent FL "0506 PRO LOGIC ".   "0506" are the symbols for Dolby Digital (the D (05) and reverse D (06).  Similarly, when the volume was changed, an FL response was "M.VOL  -76.5db"  followed by "VOL008" as a response to the command.  This screen decibel info might be useful information.  

I will attach the logs in the next post.

MyServer log files and a Wireshark capture showing the flow of commands between MyServer and the AVR.

I noticed after made the previous posts that the driver was updated.  I didn't see any changes.

One thing to note for anyone trying out the set volume command is that "0 to 100" is put into the command line.  The command line itself needs to be edited to delete"0 to 100" and type in the desired value.

Correct Power was backwards and now it's not. Not sure what to make with that FL response. That will take some looking.

Thanks!  My limited testing shows everything working. 

I don't think there is much useful info from FL responses.  The routine queries the driver does seems to capture the pertinent info.
