Oops... then I'd assume you've hit a bug. But what did you mean when you
mentioned it worked with plugin.irblasterref in comment #4?

I didn't say it worked. I said thanks to peter since I did NOT try plugin.irblaster:volumeup_count before.

Which one? I'm confused...

plugin.irblaster:volumeup_count

It works for prefs within the "normal" player namespace, e.g. "playtrackalbum" and "digitalVolumeControl", that's what I use now.

Should I file a bug?

I wouldn't expect to be able to retrieve prefs via serverstatus. I
don't understand why it even supports that? You should probably use a
separate call to get the value of pref(s).

This is a documented feature!
I get all players and a lot of states for each player.
I thought the whole sense of the "xxxstatus" calls is to prevent polling now I should start to poll for a few preferences???

BTW, what I'm requesting is not really specific, here's what SqueezePlay subscribes through serverstatus:

 {
    channel => "/2918a3e3/slim/serverstatus",
    data => {
          "info total albums"  => 756,
          "info total artists" => 381,
          "info total genres"  => 96,
          "info total songs"   => 8345,
          "other player count" => 0,
          "player count"       => 3,
          players_loop         => [
                                    {

                                      isplayer => 1,
                                      model => "squeezebox3",

                                   ...
                                  ],
          "sn player count"    => 1,
          sn_players_loop      => [
                                    { id => ..., name => "EssSqueezy", playerid => "..." },
                                  ],
          version              => "7.4",
        },
    ext => { priority => "" },
