Feature Request: Music Control

[Duncan1106]

Sync playing music and let other devices control it, like play pause next and previous track.

Maybe something like https://github.com/yuroyami/syncplay-android

More like if i have one phone connected with a sound system and I'm too lazy to stand up to make it louder or skip to the next song. So then I can just click next song and it would play the next song on the other phone, that is connected to the sound system. I don't want to join a room or something like that.
Just the controls for the media not the media it self.

Maybe using a media ipc server

With that i won't have the battery percentage of the phone that is connected to the sound system also either I'm to stupid to use it or it won't work like i want it to.
I just want the media controls not the media itself.
Like with Bluetooth headphones you can press a button twice and it will skip to the next song. Just with another phone not with headphones.

What you are proposings seems difficult
Start music on one device
Controll the seek/play/pause using other drvoce via notification
Every media player app will have seperate code for notofication based media control

However use can use remote control feature
Use teamviewer to access screen of remote device and seek/play

At the risk of preaching to the choir - while it may get lost in its bevy of other useful functions, KDE Connect does this & does so beautifully IMO (& is also FLOSS). I would imagine all the code needed to implement similar functionality in Octi without having to write the entire thing from scratch is readily available, but I defer to your judgment. I just didn't come across any mentions of IMO essentially the gold standard in inter-device(inter-LAN) media control. Of any app, FLOSS, proprietary, freemium, etc. I rely heavily upon this feature daily and it rarely disappoints. If Octi shipped with this type of functionality, there's no question I would use it much more frequently
