Issues with Chrome Launcher
Hey everyone, so I'm using the Chrome Launcher add-on to launch YouTube Leanback mode, but I have some gripes with it I would like to resolve.
-
I am running Kodi on my TV connected to my PC in extended mode, and Chrome always launches on my monitor, and I haven't found a way to get it to always run on the TV.
-
How can I easily switch between the Chrome Kiosk and Kodi when controlling through the Yatse app?
-
Also, is there a way to control the YouTube Leanback UI using Yatse, and if not, is there an alternative app for Android which emulates keyboard input in a remote control fashion (up,down,left,right,play,pause,mute,.. etc.)
And please don't tell me to just use the Kodi Add-on for YouTube, I already tried it and it's vastly inferior to YouTube Leanback.

1 - why not just connect the tv directly as the monitor. 2 - i find kiosk mode a pain myself - i select 'no' when prompted. f11 on your keyboard usually will turn kiosk mode on or off. 3 - unsure about, but 'key mapping' springs to mind
p.s. - there is a 'browser launcher' addon available - which can use different browsers
Thanks for the reply. I actually tried using custom keymappings in Yatse (binding Alt-Tab to a button would work perfectly) but I couldn't figure out how to use them. I'll do some more research on it later though, I am thinking maybe I can even integrate AutoHotKey innit.
The TV is connected to my main PC which is right next to it, I have a main monitor I use for desktop and the TV for Kodi and YT.
And I don't want to get a Chromecast or an underpowered Android box when I have my full fledged PC right there.
