Plans on Supporting Remote Control for Airplay2?

[YutongGu]

First of all, I want to say that I love the work you are doing. I'm very excited about the new Airplay2 support. I just wanted to see if remote control is something on the roadmap and if so, when we might be able to expect it? Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words. Remote Control would be great, but we don't yet have any firm plans. Getting an initial release of Shairport Sync out (which should be Real Soon Now) is the main priority right now. The real issue with Remote Control is that there is no documentation -- the protocols have not been made available.

hi,
I am a very loyal Juke customer (their Juke Audio box uses the shairport-sync code). However, not having remote control via phone or Apple Watch is a big limitation. This is really one of the main benefits of Airplay - being able to control different devices that are already playing from say your watch. Anything you can do to make this a priority would make a big difference to the Juke community.
Thanks
Dan.
