CONTROLLING APPS:

PLAYING ALBUMS OR TRACKS:

When the devices are connected, open the menu on the remote device. Select "Find Albums" or "Find Tracks". Find the album or track you want to play by scrolling or by using the Go To button, or the Filter button. Select it to start playing. This function only works with these apps:

BlackPlayer, doubleTwist, Play Music, jetAudio, Media Monkey, Phonograph, Pulsar, Rocket Player, Samsung Music, Shuttle and VLC. (Poweramp will play tracks but not albums).

PLAYING PLAYLISTS:

When the devices are connected, select "Find playlists" from the menu on the remote. Choose the playlist you want and it will load. Press play to start playing, or tap the name of the track you want to play. Playlists can only be played with Play Music, Poweramp, Rocket Player, or the Android internal player. Choose "Set playback app" from the menu on the bottom-right corner when the playlist is loaded to select a player.

ADDING APPS:

Connect the devices. Select "Custom 1" from the bottom of the list of players on the remote device. On the playback device select "Set custom app packages" from the menu. In the space for Custom app 1, enter the package name of the app you want to control, and press OK.

You can use an app like Package Name Viewer to get the package name of the app you want to control.

QUITTING:

ISSUES:

Youtube:

When controlling the YouTube app, the back and next buttons only work if you are watching a playlist. Also, the play/pause buttons only work if you have already started playing a video.

Spotify:

If the remote does not show track information when controlling Spotify, go into the Spotify settings on your playback device, and turn on the option called "Device Broadcast Status".
