Go ahead and test it with yours, and kindly report the result back :)
At the moment, only Yamaha AVRs are supported. Although, you can sniff the URL which your AVR requests, override its DNS entry and change the `VTUNER_INITURL` to possibly make your non-Yamaha AVR work with YCast.

It is advised to use a proper webserver (e.g. Nginx) in front of YCast if you can.
Then, you also don't need to run YCast as root and can proxy the requests to YCast running on a higher port (>1024) listening only on `localhost`.
