AVRemote 2.0.18 – Marantz SR6011 connection errors;

Hi,

I'm brand new to IoX and node servers, so please bear with me! I'm trying to get AVRemote working reliably with my Marantz SR6011, and would appreciate some guidance.

My setup

• Controller: eisy / IoX 6.0.5

• Polyglot PG3x: 3.4.18

• Node server: AVRemote 2.0.18 (Free/Production)

• Receiver: Marantz SR6011

• Receiver IP: 192.168.1.105

• Connection: TCP port 23

• Receiver's Network Control setting: Always On

• AVRemote's Connect On Demand setting: true

What happens

• AVRemote initially showed the receiver as off even when it was on.

• Changing Connect On Demand from false to true and restarting AVRemote improved power-status reporting. It now correctly shows the receiver as on.

• Volume readings have sometimes appeared incorrect, but subsequently matched the receiver after I changed the volume at the receiver itself.

• Commands from IoX are unreliable. Set Volume and Input have not produced the expected changes at the receiver. Mute has worked intermittently.

• Responses and status updates can be slow.

Relevant log errors

The latest debug log contains:

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

This occurs when AVRemote attempts to connect to 192.168.1.105:23 to send a volume command.

It also contains:

OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor

This occurs during recv() while AVRemote is polling receiver state, including Zone 3.

The logs also show some successful communication—for example, AVRemote sends SI? and receives SISAT/CBL—so communication is not failing consistently.

What I've tried

• Verified the receiver IP address and port 23 in AVRemote configuration.

• Confirmed Network Control is set to Always On.

• Changed Connect On Demand to true and restarted AVRemote.

• Restarted AVRemote and tested Power, Volume, Input, and Mute controls.

• Downloaded fresh debug and Polyglot log files.

I have attached the latest debug log package.

Could these errors indicate a connection-management or concurrent polling issue in AVRemote's Denon/Marantz driver? What would you recommend trying next?

Thanks for your time and for maintaining AVRemote. I'm happy to follow step-by-step instructions, but I'm not experienced with command-line troubleshooting.
