For those of you following this thread, I ran across this option and it sounds like it may fit the needs expressed in this thread. I don’t have to ability to test myself but it sounds like a very workable solution.
This requires you to have a “switch”, which is a piece of accessibility hardware
I’m pretty sure it’s using another Apple device like an iPhone or Mac for the “switch” part.
No additional hardware needed. If you read through the page it discusses how to control an iphone/mac with another iphone/mac on the same wifi network.
Now you can use the switch connected to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to control the other device.
Regardless, controlling the device remotely is not the same thing as controlling the app via the app’s UI on another device.

Sad, the developer hasn’t come up with an idea to control (example pause/play) a device connected to a monitor via hdmi using your other iPhone or iPad. Im thinking and finding ways to do that without standing up everytime i need to pause or play or select next episode cause im getting tired of doing it so i thought of an idea of controlling infuse remotely and googled it but found nothing. I guess it’s not possible.
The only solution here is to buy a wireless hdmi so you can put your infuse near you.
i do wonder if iCloud can be as realtime as needed to facilitate a feature like Spotify’s Remote Control feature
No, not exactly.
Infuse app on ios/ipados device acts as remote.
you browse the library in the app and start playback directly from it or, even better, put it in a queue
oh, i see, that does sound pretty cool. i can never get AirPlay to work anyway and your idea would be much more convenient anyway
The Apple TV doesn’t have IR either and it works just fine with its included remote (which is BT). You don’t need IR anymore, it’s pretty antiquated tech.
Pair a supported controller with your iPad (Xbox One or PS4 or above or any mifi). It’ll act as a remote giving you full control.
Oh right I don’t know why I thought they had long removed it. But I do know that the Apple (Siri) Remote doesn’t rely on IR to control the TV, but rather BT. You can check yourself by putting the remote in your pocket and pressing a button.
I imagine the remote and the aTV still have IR for third party hardware capabilities, nothing more.
Is it possible for you to make a feature something like “control nearby devices” of apple but inside infuse app media control only?
For example, use infuse on iPhone or iPad to control infuse for Apple TV playback to improve the operating experience.

I moved your post to a currently running thread requesting that feature.
