Or is there a way to make it somehow auto skip? Figured out they opened Chrome instead of Firefox… Now I am interested in finding some small Bluetooth controller to skip videos in a playlist.

    You mentioned you were still interested in a button.

    How are your programming skills, and what’s your current setup? Are you using a PC? Is there a specific reason you want a bluetooth button instead of, say, a USB one? Or even just using a keyboard shortcut?

      How are your programming skills,

      BASIC… Haha. In reality I know a little bit, enough to poke around and make a mess of things.

      I want it for my toddler, trying to see if I can get it to skip a video to a new one in a playlist.

        Maybe look at Zigbee instead of Bluetooth. It’s meant for home automation stuff, but I think it might be easier to set up to perform an action on an input from a button.

        Or you can look at Bluetooth remotes but I feel like you’d have to create custom software to take the input and perform an action.

        That said, you can use ChatGPT or Claude to help you get started. It’s one of the things an LLM is good at. Tell it you’re a beginner and what you’re trying to do and it can help you through the steps of setting up and writing the basic app. Be warned, the LLM will eventually lose its way and stop making code that makes sense.
