      While I'm waiting for the Strawberry remote control see this post to be accepted as part of the player I have developed a very basic android remote app.
      The app lets you view song information and control playback of the Strawberry Music player (play, pause, next, previous) from your Android device over your local network.

      I'm looking for beta testers before submitting the app to the Google Play Store. It's a bit of a chicken or the egg as there will be nothing to test until the functionality has been implemented in the player and once it's there you cannot control it without the android remote.

      If you're interested, please reply here or send me a message and I'll send you the opt-in link.

        I have now extended the remote with with full playlist support:

        • List open playlists and which one is currently active
        • Fetch a playlist's upcoming songs, mirroring the desktop's currently
          visible columns, their order, and formatting
        • Play a specific song within any open playlist
        • Add the currently playing song to another (or a new) playlist
        • Remove a song from a playlist
        • Broadcast playlist-changed and playlist-activated events to all
          connected clients, so state stays in sync across the desktop and
          any number of remote clients"

                Hi.

                I'd be interested in testing this for you.

                Currently using U/Xubuntu, likely to setting Fedora install as well.

                Let me know if I can help.

                    I had seen that.

                    The linux client is installed already and showing in Strawberry.

                    I need to be added as a tester to see the android bit.
