Remote control from Android app to Emby Browser?

Apparently Emby DLNA connection does not work well with my Philips TV.

However, the TV has a built-in web browser (Opera-based) that does work, yet with very poor controls.

Is it possible to somehow select the videos from Android and have them play in the Emby website that's open in the TV's browser?

not what your asking... but harmony remote has an app that works with their hub. pricey if you dont need a universal remote but it would let you use you phone/keyboard.

also... most tv "smart" apps never really work out so i just broke down and bought either a firetv or shieldtv for eat set. it can run any android apps (plex, emby, netflix, etc)

It should work.

Open the browser and sign in to your server/user then it should show up in the cast menu of your android client.

Once you connect, browsing media and playing it from the android app will begin playback on the browser.
