Shortcut buttons such as 'home' and 'toggle subtitles'

This may depend on the remote and the player, but does Emby have any 'home' button that returns you to your main screen?

How about for toggling subtitles on/off? My remote lacks this but I may be able to reprogram a button if this call is possible.

Emby Web - Use the home key on the keyboard if you have one.
control-u: cycle through subtitle tracks

Not sure on remapping.

Looks like this is only for Emby Web? I am trying to toggle subs on either LG App or Android App versions, my universal remote with a "Caption" button is not working in this way.

Is there any other way to do this?

Alternatively is there any way to hook into Emby with an API call or such that would allow me to execute different actions through something external?

Yes and no. These special keys are active on most platforms, it's just that most remotes don't have these buttons.

Do you happen to know what I could look for in a universal remote to find one for this? I'd really love a fully featured Emby remote if I could find one.

I'm not sure although I can see there is a Captions shortcut on android that we're not catching so we can add that.

The LG app maps channel up and down to next chapter and previous chapter. I miss that shortcut since moving to ATV.

I have a Logitech Harmony remote, I should be able to program in whatever commands I like.
