I use Retune on Android to control my iTunes playback (which mirrors my Google library using Google's Music Manager) on my PC/Mac, which is connected to a TV and speakers.

Using the splitter should get you halfway there, then you just need to see what device/app combination will allow you to control music with no screen on. But ideally if you funnel all your external devices (cable box, streaming devices, etc.) through the switch and just connect it to your TV as little more than a monitor, then you just use the switcher to select your current audio/video device.

Would be subject to the command coming from an authorized device. So basically what I need is the ability for the Fire/Apple TV/Nexus to receive 'play' commands and automatically obey them, without UI interaction. someone could leave Netflix 'Open', turn TV off, and it would still work.
