This is for advanced users looking to use an IR remote with a number of software music players. It uses the CLI (command line interface) to program macros to emulate keyboard commands of the music players e.g. LMS, MPD, Roon, JRiver etc.
While the focus is on Linux, the same approach should work with Windows and MacOS.
