I'm now using the Logitech Harmony Classic handheld remote to remotely control such things as Play/Pause/Stop, Next/Previous etc. on my LMS via the Mediakey Interpretation (capture) feature in Squeezelite-X. It's actually very convenient as I have several Logitech remote controls around my house, all connected to the Logitech Harmony Link HUB, which in turn communicates with Squeezelite-X via the built-in Bluetooth Keyboard function in the Harmony Link. The computer (In my case, a Windows 10 PC) where Squeezelite-X is running has been paired with the Harmony Link Bluetooth Keyboard, and when I press i.e. the Play button on my remote control, it sends the mediakey "Play" to the computer via Bluetooth and Squeezelite-X automatically picks it up and relays it onwards to my LMS which runs in a Docker environment on a QNAP NAS. Since the Harmony Link also offers a iPhone/Android App, essentially every family member with a mobile phone can now easily control the LMS server as long as they are connected to my WiFi (WLAN). This feature is not "new" as many 3rd party apps has been available for mobile phones to remotely control LMS, but that's all they can do. The Logitech App can remotely control anything in my house that has been configured to talk to the Harmony Link: My TV, Amplifier, DVD/Blueray, AppleTV, ROKU and even Kodi which I have running on another QNAP NAS. But LMS couldn't be made to talk directly to the Harmony HUB, so it has been an orphan in my setup. Now, thanks to Squeezelite-X, it's all in again :-)
