Ok, let me summarize this: you want to have an easily customizable menu
on the controller which can trigger local actions (on the Controller
itself) as well as on the server (LMS). Is this correct?
Unfortunately that's not going to be an easy task. Because menus are
either created on the server side using the "SlimBrowse" protocol, but
then they cannot trigger any action to be executed on the Controller.
See this bug report/feature request from many years ago:
http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=9914
Or you implement the menu in Lua on the Controller and a plugin to run
on the server side separately. But this way you won't be able to easily
customize the menu through the web UI. Lua would have to send commands
to LMS, which then would trigger some action on the server (as defined
in your plugin).
That's a lot to learn, I must admit. And I'm not sure you're willing to
go there... But let me know if you choose to give it a try anyway. I'll
certainly be able to help with the LMS side of things. Unfortunately not
so much for the Lua part.
