[featute request] foobar2000 mobile as fb2k controller

My idea is to additionally implement frontend functionalities enabling us to control remotely fb2k Windows instances.
On android we used to have two applications: 'FoobarCon' and 'foobar2000 controller', but both of them are abandoned already couple of years ago. None of them is available on the Google Play. I don't know about iOS.

For both of them we also have proper plugins to be installed in fb2k, where one of them - 'foo_httpcontrol_fb2kc_0_97_30.fb2k-component' - is currently maintained by @regor .

In my opinion all building blocks are already on the table, somebody just needs to combine them into foobar2000 mobile application.

What does it mean?
Just search. Many people are already using it.

Nobody is in trouble.

There probably isn't that much demand.

The foobar2000 controller PRO template (PC installer (v2.0.1)) is still available for download from Home.

Everybody on android is in trouble - both apps are out of Google Play. Security concerns when thinking of installing them from apk.

MonkeyMote Music Remote is not free. The two above have had their free versions as well.

And after all - why not having remote controlling feature added in just one application - foobar2000 mobile?

Many users have been using both apk's for years.
Now you seem to be making a lot of noise.

Well, I would disagree.   This is something I've been wishing for a couple of years now.   I currently use Foobar Controller, which works ok, but I have had to stay with FBv1.6.18 because the search function does not work with v2.1.   And of course, with both Android apps no longer being developed or supported, the next update of Android could leave us all SOL.

I too am hoping for a new foobar2000 mobile controller to be released.
It's been the status quo for a long time.
Does this mean I should use MonkeyMote 4 Foobar?
