I just got Openauto setup in my van. It's nice, it beats other systems with features like Bluetooth streaming and Android Auto.
But I'm really annoyed by the Keyboard shortcuts and it being the absolute only way to control Openauto through script. It's really not a very nice way to work and feels very hacky.
Every other Mediaplayer system I used has better ways to do this:
websocket, rest API and CLI
JSON-RPC
They're all much faster, easier ways to code scripts to interface with the media system, and you don't need root for them (as uinput does).
I'm also quite limited in volume control: I have custom code to interpret encoder movement, with acceleration based on steps over time: this is not possible with simple up or down controls instead of a get and set method for volume. Volume control is just laggy and sloppy compared to how it works in other systems.
Can the devs please look at integrating something like this?
