Thanks for the feedback. My instinct is that querying the status only when required would be a more efficient method than firing off MQTT requests all day, when they're not actually used 99% of the time. Assuming that there's no way of getting Humax events like "playback" to trigger commands, is there any way to initiate a command using an HTTP request? For example, an HTTP request to trigger the status command, which publishes its output to MQTT?
http://humax/cgi-bin/status.jim
will return the output of Status in HTML format - no need to to go via MQTTNote
status
is not 100% reliable - it is doing a best guess interpretation of what is going on an can occasionally return Streaming or something else instead of Playing. For your purpose I think it is safe to send a Pause command without knowing what the actual status of the box is.
