Hi
I'm checking the TV service by WIKI has support fast forward and rewind options
{"RemoteKey":0} REWIND
{"RemoteKey":1} FAST_FORWARD
{"RemoteKey":2} NEXT_TRACK
{"RemoteKey":3} PREVIOUS_TRACK
I want to know how to send them, I can't find the buttons in remote.app

Hi, to find the buttons, you have to go to Remote.app in the Control Center.

你好，要找到按钮，你必须去Remote.app。Control Center

I mean how to make remote.app show fast forward button

Sorry I misread your question.

@caitken-com, @TheNON75 Can you please confirm because I don't think we can use them for the moment 😕

I can’t say for sure as I’m not using the Remote.app myself. But have you tried using the trackpad’s left/right edges as you would on a real apple remote?

The "real" one kicks over to show a dedicated row of rewind | pause | fast forward buttons. All the times I've tried it from nrchkb have failed. I haven't seen anyone accomplish this. I will check one last time if anyone's done it...

I think it's not possible - those controls have to do with AirPlay which we don't have.

I've just done some digging in this repo. It appears they're just adding standard on/off switches to work as "buttons". Each "button press" turns the switch "on" for 20 milliseconds then the plugin turns it back off. I see no evidence that they've got media control working on the control center remote. They have built it as extra on/off buttons in the home app.

So I stick with my previous statement:

I think it's not possible - those controls have to do with AirPlay which we don't have.

Hi @Ethanwain did you find a solution?
