Description

Problem Description

I use my pc as a console and have a music app in the background which I wanna control from my phone rather than switching tabs from the pc/tv.
Like how Spotify connect let's you control music playing on another device running the same app and login.

Proposed Solution

A button in the bottom right when viewing your song which lets you select your pc as the device for audio playback and whatever song I click on will play from the selected device.

Alternative Solutions

Remote mode, where you scan a QR code off of any simpmusic app (this will become the host) and the scanning device (eg, phone) enters a remote mode that justs acts as a music selector, and that selection is sent to the host app.

Additional Context

It's like Spotify connect.
Hope I've explained it well, love the app alot🤟

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing the existing playback and device/session architecture, then determine how a host device and remote controller should communicate. Done means selecting another device or entering remote mode lets the controller choose songs and reliably changes playback on the host.
