Hey Mark, how about a little feature request? I would love to be able to feed a group of ir codes to the player when it first starts
up. This would allow us to force the player to startup into a known state every time. Examples of how this would be useful...

* Force player to always start in tuner/player/aux mode
* Always decrease volume when player starts
* Always press down button to go to visual mode
* Always play a startup mp3

What do you think? Would it be possible to inject some startup codes into the ir stream for the player to read when it first starts
with your ir stuff?




No problem here in doing it, EXCEPT FOR.. it is very difficult to ensure the init presses get done before the player does anything else.. so the previous track may start playing before your init presses get processed to cause a startup tune or whatever.

But for many purposes, this ought to work fine.
This would just be for player-powerup, right? But what if the player was in "standby" before powerdown.. in which case it will normally want to go back into standby on powerup.. We wouldn't want to do the init then, would we? Not sure if this can be detected reliably, either..

?
