Android vol keys control http command

Support
1

I’m running Kodi 21 Omega (Flatpak) on Linux Mint. I want Yatse’s hardware volume keys to control the Linux system volume (via amixer) rather than Kodi’s internal volume.

As a workaround I’ve set up a lightweight Python HTTP server that accepts GET requests and runs amixer set Master 4%+/4%-/toggle. I’ve added these as custom HTTP commands plugin buttons in Yatse and they work fine when using the custom commands added to remote screen (in place of the stock volume buttons).

However I’d like to map the Android phone hardware volume keys to these custom commands instead of Kodi’s internal volume. Is there any way to achieve this in Yatse, either through existing settings or a future feature request?

I do of course mean while Yatse is in focus (I am assuming the prior Google issue still breaks background volume keys?)

Also I should probably ask, is there a better way to achieve this or is a server reasonable here?

I guess if it works it works?
