Change input source with Remote

[seb]

I was always wondering why the Devialet app is not available in the Apple Store for Apple Silicon Macs. Your setup sounds convenient. What app / code you are using? I checked some sites & forums, but my programming skills are limited to say the least  Would be great to have a simple (menubar) app available with input and volume adjustment.

Hey Seb!  I'm using C# with Visual Studio and a few 'libraries'.  you can find my solution on halrad.com sources also there and happy to share my learning more directly. There are two examples 'apps' are based on the "Devialet IP Control R1" interface described here.  while these might not be a direct solution for a Mac - keep in mind these days = limited skills can be boosted into super-powers with some of the AI coding bots ....

slPhantomTray is a windows shell/system tray UX tool sounds like what your envisioning for the mac menubar but on the taskbar in the system tray.  (its super basic) and really just someting to push play. or send the command to start playing 'a default source' and change the volume.  it came out of , when spark from DOS 1.0 went away, and everyting focused on the moble app it was so frustrating to have to look for my phone, when all i want to do is PUSH PLAY.   When you just want to push play use phantomtray.   but eventually that was not enough so ...

slaCmdr its a chamelion like thing hiding under a 'gecko' next to the 'tree' it is a command line shell/tool and is what i use most in practice. it was conceived to be a handler for buttons. since i missed having buttons to press or wanted someting that worked on small 7" touch screen where 'app' menus are not great to use with fingers.  when you want to automate use slaCmdr

best of luck and happy to help if possible.

Thank you! Maybe someone is reading this and willing and able to create a Mac App based on your work and insights?
