Is it possible to change this to allow multiload? #4

I hope you're still following this old thing. ;) I'm using this plug-in for one amp at my cabin and one at my home. But at my home I need to put a second amp into production, and unlike most of the receiver plug-ins this one does not support multiload. Being a total clutz in programming I tried to copy it to another directory and then search/replace OnkyoISCP with OnkyoISCP2, which if course didn't work... Is that something that can easily be fixed?

Hi! Not really as I‘ve switched to a Yamaha receiver and Linux so I can‘t test this plugin any more. Feel free to fork the repo and make whatever changes are required to make it multi-instanceable.

Ah, too bad. I seriously couldn't code myself out of a brown paper bag! I would be able to beta test any changes within a few hours if you could be convinced to take a crack at it.

Btw, there is another weird thing with the plug-in: If the receiver has been out for a few seconds, there's a loop that happens where it sends error mesages and blocks everything until EventGhost is restarted. I avoid to unplug receivers, and I have a system that restarts the EG VM on the server if it happens. But I seem to remember that we spoke about that on the EG forum some years ago and you didn't manage to duplicate or fix that.
