You'd mentioned simplifying keys and just needed DPAD, OK/Enter, and Back. But next would be PS3 and Steam Controller. Pretty much just need to support Xbox controller others basically emulate that. Could make an OK controller - wireless and enough buttons. Seems like the ideal at the moment would be a good RF TV remote, that you can use CEC to control Emby Theater, and the receiver if you have one. I'm amazed there still really doesn't seem to be a nice remote solution available. Managed to map enough controls to other buttons though. (Spent about half an hour trying to get the transport keys (play/pause etc) on my Panasonic IR TV remote to pass through via CEC with no luck. Works OK with their tray app, but PITA, built in support would be much better. Perhaps even just a config file like Kodi uses - wouldn't be a horrible idea if it was compatible with their XML files. (And seems like a pain to intercept with a 3rd party tool and remap.) ATM that skips forward and back 5 min in Emby Theater. some remotes like the Mele F10 Deluxe I just bought to try, sends the Media Skip and Previous key presses and the Home key for the Home button. out of the box it will also support gamepads, but whether we'll automatically choose the buttons you're desiring for OK and Cancel will probably be hit or miss, and won't likely won't be perfected until we have onscreen configuration for it. It will also support out of the box some special media keys that are found on various remotes and keyboards. The new emby theater out of the box will implement most of the windows media center keyboard shortcuts that are documented by microsoft: I know you said you wanted to move away from iOS - but you might want to check this out before you do. I've been experimenting with the Emby web client from with the app and it works well. ![]() It also has a Media Guide that can display/launch playback of the contents of your Movie and TV library from Kodi within the app - and it will even open web pages from within the app so you don't have to exit. Device feedback ensures that command automation executes reliably and quickly. ![]() ![]() Another button could switch into the Movies section of Kodi while making sure you are on the correct inputs for your setup. The activity functions allow you to program a single button that will, for example, power on your TV and AVR plus launch the Netflix app on the Roku while simultaneously making sure your AVR is on the correct HDMI input. It has been the most robust and feature rich remote control I have ever found. With newer IP controlled devices the feedback provided to the device allows macro commands to be very reliable.įWIW - I have stuck with the iOS device using Roomie Remote. I used to use the Harmony but they still use IR for the hub - which compared to serial and IP control is the most unreliable of the bunch. My living room has a Kodi box, a Roku box, an Apple TV and a surround AVR to switch between multiple HDMI inputs before routing to the TV. The trouble I've always had with remotes is that you often don't just want to control the HTPC - you might also need control over an AVR and a TV as well.
