Improve AppleTV functionality with iOS "Remote" app

[tscibilia]

Which part of Airwave is this for?

A TV / player client (Apple TV, Fire TV, Android TV, Roku, webOS, browser)

What problem does this solve?

Huge compliments for producing an app so easy to use and polished. I'm so glad I stumbled on this from the selfh.st website!

I purchased the app for AppleTV and I generally use my iPhone's "Remote" app to navigate the UI. I found that I couldn't do that with the Airwave app (I was able to use the normal remote controller fine). I just wanted to make you aware that this would be a great QOL feature.

Thanks! and hoping you continue to maintain this project; it's so much better than the xTeVe and Threadfin options I've tried in the past.

What would you like to see?

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the app! I hadn't even considered the remote app to control the apple TV. Consider it a planned enhancement.

Along these same lines, can we also change the way the controls work for Apple TV? I'd like to see the Pause/Play actions actually bound to the Pause/Play button instead of using the center button for these actions. It isn't just about wanting to pause and play with that button. Apple binds certain actions to these buttons. For example, if an app uses the pause and play button, it can tie that action to your Airpods. What that means is that when you remove 1 Airpod, it can pause the player for you automatically.

It also just makes sense, a Pause/Play button exists on the remote. Why not use it.
