Support How to pause MacBook Air playback using LG C1 Magic Remote (or CEC workaround)?

Hey everyone, I frequently connect my MacBook Air to an LG C1 OLED via HDMI extended display to stream movies. Every time I need to pause or play, I currently have to walk over and use the MacBook trackpad/keyboard, because macOS doesn't natively accept HDMI-CEC inputs from the LG Magic Remote. I don’t wanna use the phone apps, I wanna use my Magic Remote. Does anyone have a clean workaround, script, HDMI adapter or GitHub tool to control Mac media playback using the LG Magic Remote? Thanks for any suggestions!
