Amazing Blueprint, thanks @Shawsky. I have a bit different setting:
- i use picoreplayers which are behind a powerplug which are turned off when not used, so i added that the plug is turned on whenever anything is pressed and it is off
- i made the group volume configurable since another setup i have is that i have grouped squeezeplayers with one of them running but set to off, in which case the volume does not change after press
