Information: remote control stopped working

[hanneshier]

Just as a reference for people having the same problem: the remote control feature seems to have stopped working on the iOS/tvOS side. See this issue on shairport-sync for a discussion on the topic. Cover and metadata remains working fine.

Thanks for reporting this.

Fore reference, from Mike Brady on the linked issue:

Thanks for the post. Unfortunately, this seems to be due to a change at the player (e.g. the Music app). The issue is that some changes have occurred in recent versions of iOS and Mac such that the players don't respond to the remote control commands being sent by Shairport Sync. It's not just confined to Shairport Sync either -- it seems to be a general problem.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed with iOS18?

Any updates on this?
