Hey everyone! I’ve got my TV hooked up to my PC for watching movies and YouTube. I recently discovered that I can control my Chromecast with Google TV using my TV remote. Since the Chromecast and the TV are just connected via HDMI, I’m wondering if the remote’s signals can somehow be sent to my PC as well. Is there any way I could receive those signals on my PC? It would be super convenient to control videos without having to get up every time. Sorry if my English isn’t perfect, it’s not my first language. Thanks for any help!

You could just use Plex or something similar to manage your media from your PC. It’s a pretty straightforward way to do things these days!
