I've added "Remote Control" via a pull request — a feature I found useful in Clementine but missing from Strawberry.
I started this project in November last year and believe I followed the contribution guidelines.

I have now completed functionality that covers my needs: remote control of the player including playlist management.

I've also written Linux and Android clients, with the Android client currently going through Google Play certification/publishing.

As I haven't had a response on the PR in a while, and I'm not sure how best to move this forward. It's possible nobody else needs this feature, but as far as I can tell it's opt-in and shouldn't cause any harm to have available.

I would like to contibute more to Strawberry, but am unable to do this until this is resolved.

Hi Gilbert,
just curious how you tested this.

@FuzzyBottom Fair point re. password protection. I could add this as an config option in strawberry.
mind you, right now it looks like there is harldy anybody interested in this feature anyway

@FuzzyBottom I have (arguably) the oldest PR for this. I created a debian release here and and you can get the android client by signing up as a tester either via

App store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zudiewiener.strawberryremote
or
Web
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.zudiewiener.strawberryremote

Screenshots are from the emulator on Ubuntu. I also have a Qt linux client to help in testing.

@FuzzyBottom Is this duplicating what I've done? Testers needed

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"

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.

What are your Collection seetings. Mine are as per screenshot and I have 60K+ songs, which are not scanned at every startup
Cheers,
Leo
