In order to realize these requirements, I did the following:ġ.1 Install Roon server (to make sure that it is always running the background and not accidentally closed)ġ.2 Install Roon Remote for showcasing now playingġ.3 Install Kodi as a standalone app and not from the Windows AppStore Though there is a leading app that offers emulating mouse control via arrow keys on the keyboard but the app is in beta since 2 years and is a catastrophe with regard to ease of use, let alone woman acceptance factor (WAF). The reason for that is simply that Netflix has an abysmal user experience on non-touch device as it only supports navigation via mouse from within Chromebrowser or as an Windows App - Keyboard keys cannot do anything. Given the navigational complexity of roon which is perfectly made for touch control I only intended it as showcase on the big screen.Īfter some experimentation, I decided to ditch Netflix and implement the rest as intended. switching to “Roon now playing” screen from within Kodi or Netflix or from shutdown/ sleep mode whenever I am interested in showcasing what is currently playing.I initially wanted to use it for Roon, Kodi and Netflix and control it via a Logitech Harmony Remote.
