None of the remotes supported modes worked with HQP OS. So it goes back to Amazon for a refund
Hmmh, HQPlayer OS doesn’t have any local controls for the player. Since it is controlled remotely over network…
HQPlayer Client works with the remotes I have as long as the window has keyboard focus. HQPlayer Desktop server component same way too.

Hi @jussi_laako
I have keyboard volume up and down working for HQP Client (Ubuntu Desktop) to control HQP volume.
But when I enable the metering spectrogram thingy in Client, these keyboard functions no longer work.
I need to check if it is correctly returning the key board focus back. Because although not obvious, when you click such control, keyboard focus switches there and then the keys have different meaning. You should be able to switch the keyboard focus back by clicking for example the cover image or the spectrogram.
Keyboard entry areas don’t of course automatically release keyboard focus until action is taken (hitting enter or similar).

Tried clicking everywhere but keyboard up/down did nothing to volume.
Pressing enter just switches between meter and album art but even when album art comes back and i again click everywhere, up and down doesn’t work.
I’ve love to keep spectrogram running and keyboard up/down working for volume.
I will check that… Keyboard focus matters a bit, for example left/right arrows have a different meaning when not in text entry (like search) or when the text entry is in focus…

Picked up 7" IPS touchscreen display, with RPi4 screwed to the back.
Running RPi OS with HQP Client app.
Using key $10 bluetooth keypad for volume up and down (no dongle required), so no 3rd party software required.
Once I can control volume up/down at the same time as spectrogram meter running, will be complete 
Runs off WiFi 2.4GHz perfectly fine. Only cable needed is USB-C for power.
Touchscreen is enough to get Client up and even shutdown. No keyboard or mouse needed for daily operation.
Only using in office for now but will add another to main speakers room.
Maybe will get 10" touchscreen for living room? Will think

Fixed with Client 5.11.2
Also picked up a new backlit wireless keyboard with trackpad, to control the RPi4 - $15 
i don’t like the cheap remotes with built-in batteries. Could be low quality. This one allows AAA replaceable. Very low power consumption though. Expecting this to last months
Now I can leave it on meter screen and control volume
This is also now a 10" RPi touchscreen.
