Windows media control bindings (play/pause, next/previous, volume) plus a simple tray app UI that is controlled on your phone via Matter protocol.

limitations

Apple currently has limited matter support in the Home app.

The Home app currently supports these types of Matter accessory: air conditioners, bridges, lights, locks, sockets, switches, thermostats, blinds and shades, and sensors (motion, ambient light, contact, temperature and humidity).

So we mapping these controls to:

  • EP1: OnOff Switch = Play/Pause (stateful)
  • EP2: Dimmable Light = Volume (LevelControl)
  • EP3: OnOff Switch = Next (momentary)
  • EP4: OnOff Switch = Previous (momentary)

We'll migrate to something like this once support is added:

  • Endpoint 1: Basic Video Player = Media Controls
  • Endpoint 2: Speaker = Volume

Usage (Windows)

  • Build: shards build --release
  • Run: ./bin/matter_media

Tray menu supports: Play/Pause, Next, Previous, Stop, Volume Up/Down, Mute.
