2024.5.0 - mid year (ish) release

This release adds a number of great new features to the integration.

New Features:

• Media player title will now change to:
  • Name of the radio station if the current input is DAB
  • Current track / total number of tracks if input is CD
• Added new remote platform to allow sending a custom sequence of IR commands
• Added new button platform, at present this only provides a shortcut to eject the CD. Future release will allow this to be configurable
• Added new number platform with the following entities:
  • Balance, this will allow you to adjust the speaker balance from -9 (Left) to 9 (Right)
  • Bass level (-14dB to 14dB)
  • Treble level (-14dB to 14dB)
  • Radio frequency, setting this is currently not supported but is included for future use. By design this will show as unavailable when the current source is not AM or FM.
  • Display Brightness (0 = off, 4 = max). Setting this is only available while the unit is turned on (hardware limitation).
  • Standby Display Brightness (same values as above). Setting this is only available while the unit is turned off
• Added support to set shuffle and repeat modes when the current source is CD or USB
• The number platform will show entities as unavailable if the AVR is not in a position to accept the required commands to set (such as being powered off)

Known Issues:

• Some sources aren't cannot be set directly and require cycling through the source list to get to them. An error is raised for these sources.
• Setting Radio frequency can lead to unpredictable behaviour, the unit takes a while to respond and update after issuing the command to change.
• Display Brightness and/or Standby Display Brightness aren't available until the next full update when the device is in a state to accept the commands
