Hi Janui,

Thanks, but my knowledge of Linux is extremely limited, so I need something that is ready made, no instructions to write.

Plugging an USB remote receiver on Raspberry and start firing with the existing buttons on the remote. No command writing or assignation or anything.

Do you know of some other Linux high quality audio player that will accept that?

I am afraid its more complex than that, there are thousands of different IR remote control devices, all with different buttons and different signals for those buttons. Then you also need to decide what each button will do with the player.

No, I am afraid the problem remains the same for all of the players. Only the players which are delivered with their own IR remote would offer plug and play.

If the player will respond to a mouse arrow, will most programs respond to where you put the arrow on and press, like any mouse?

What I need is a screen I can navigate in at least.

Responding to a touch screen, for instance. Having such a working interface should be a beginning.

Would I have any GUI screen from the Raspberry with Rune loaded that I can access with wireless mouse?

@carlmart

RuneUI Enhancement can be browsed with the USB PC Remote, like a keyboard, without any setup. But it needs itself to be installed.

Now there's a new RuneAudio which has it already integrated.

I recently purchased an RF remote for the stop button, my previous RF remote wouldn't stop playing a song if I pressed play again to pause it, but the new remote's stop button didn't stop the music as well.... So I had to learn how to edit the XBindkeys file, here are the commands I used, I also corrected the labels as most of them said something like "# volume down" ill also post a link to the specific remote but my old remote works now as well.... (the play/pause command was set to "mpc play" instead of "mpc toggle")

I set the regular volume key to increase by 1 and the up/down arrows to do 5
the right and left arrows will seek by .01 seconds this can cause issues unless you pause the track or youll need to do it in small incriments (press the buttone for 1-2 seconds at most)

The only command I need and cant get to work is the mute, im not sure why its not working. If anyone can tell me why the mute doesnt work that would help a lot!
