Control the DeaDBeeF audio player using Unified Remote on your phone

DeaDBeeF remote over IPC

A remote for Unified Remote to control the DeaDBeeF audio player over IPC.

Requires the ddb_ipc plugin and suitable configuration.

Usage

1. Install ddb_ipc according to the upstream instructions.
2. Install Unified Remote.
3. Use the Unified Remote server web interface on localhost:9510 to find where it loads remotes (default ~/.urserver/remotes/custom on Arch, ymmv)
4. Clone this repository to the directory containing the remotes (or somewhere else and symlink; I'm not your boss)
5. Use the web interface to reload the list of remotes
6. Open the remote on your other device. It should try to connect automatically when started, and when trying to send a command.

IPC requires the server and client to agree on a socket path. The default both here and in ddb_ipc is /tmp/ddb_socket. If you should need to change this, make sure you change both configurations!
