CLUSTER MUSIC-MOBILE-SERVER · 29 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2012-12-01

Network media player remotes

This cluster comprises mobile and desktop apps that remotely control media players, music servers, and home audio systems over a local network, covering playback, volume, playlists, and library browsing. Dated entries scatter from 2012-01 to 2026-07 with no clear trend—mostly single monthly entries and one month with two—so the cluster shows a long, thin tail of niche releases. Traction leaders by activity signal are Atrium, music-assistant-desktop, and Sensors2OSC, each at 0 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 9 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
