Remote control - Nessor - 01-17-2025
Hi!
I don't know if this was discussed here on the forum before, i couldn't find anything. Is there a way to control the UI with a remote control instead of a mouse? I can control the playback of moode, but i think it will be great if we can control the whole interface.

Why not just use your Smartphone?

I do from time to time. I just though some extra functionality won't hurt. Dedicated remote control can be way faster to access and control the player.

So originally you asked

I'm having trouble figuring out just what it is you want. What do you imagine this remote control would be?

Moode has a builtin service called triggerhappy that can be used to program the buttons of a remote control device. It comes preconfigured to control a basic USB volume knob. Below is the config file.
/etc/triggerhappy/triggers.d/media.conf
Code:
KEY_VOLUMEUP 1 /var/www/util/vol.sh -up 1
KEY_VOLUMEDOWN 1 /var/www/util/vol.sh -dn 1
KEY_MUTE 1 /var/www/util/vol.sh -muteSearch the Forum for "triggerhappy" to find threads showing the configuration for various remote control devices. Here's an example: https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=5836&pid=48649#pid48649
And as @TheOldPresbyope mentioned try to describe what you want. There are many, many different types of remotes out there.

Yes, i know all that and it's already done. All these are the basic playback controls. As i wrote in my first post, is there a way how to control the whole user interface? Like to access the Library screen, the Settings, to navigate in them? As an example i can give LibreElec, you can access the whole user interface by few different ways, one of them is with a regular TV remote control.

Its only possible via the WebUI.

@Nessor
So are you stepping up to embark on a project to replicate this behavior in moOde?
As for me, I detest waving my LG smart controller around to select things on my TV, especially if text input is required. No way I'm going to do that with moOde when I can use a phone/tablet/laptop or the local display on a touchscreen.
YMMV, as they say.
