@elan – Thank you for the response. I was under the impression, based on the “release notes” on the Apple Store (and your own update posted [**HERE**](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plexamp-release-notes/221280/41#version-v41-1)), that Remote control was supposed to work when the Player and Controller were on different networks:

In my situation, my PMS and my iMac are on the same subnet. So the player (the iMac instance of Plexamp) are on the same network. My controller (the phone) is certainly on a different network. It is connected to the 4G cellular network.
