If you own a smart TV, YouTube pairing is the lifesaver (and thumb-saver) you're been looking for. Trying to type “cat on a treadmill” is a pain when all you have to do it with is the TV remote.

Your Kids have broken the remote or the batteries have drained or your pet has eaten your remote.

Start Using your Android Phone as a Remote now. This Remote Control for BluRay devices contains 100 BluRay Remotes, some of them are the following.To connect to the device, I used the MIKMIDI library. Feeling reassured by how things were going, I looked at writing some Objective-C. Second, there was a noticeable lag between when I moved the slider and when my volume changed. First of all, it was inconvenient to have a seperate Electron application that I needed to run constantly in the background.

While my prototype was working, there were a few issues. This worked, so my first prototype was complete! MIDI in Objective-C Using the above code, here's an example of the output I saw:

What matters is that this provides the audio driver and UI code for mixing applications. There's a great look at the internals here, and while understanding those isn't needed for the rest of this post, they're interesting regardless. This open source project provides the application level control I was looking for. I recently found a solution, using the open source BackgroundMusic project, and my own code to interface with a MIDI device. I've seen this done in Windows, but never in Mac. This would allow me to turn Spotify down when I'm concentrating, or turn up a Slack call if I'm struggling to hear. Using a MIDI controller to mix Mac application volumesįor a while, I've wanted control over the volume of individual macOS applications, using a physical controller.
