A totally valid option I had not considered. Imo, the solution needs to be controlled by a standard remote. I tried for a couple years to get my family to use a media pc that used a media keyboard and no one would touch it. I turned it into a server and streamed to emby and now they will use it but only after I showed them it works even when the internet is down.
I TOTALLY feel you. I’ve wanted a good media remote for ages. seems like a project to repurpose a bluetooth remote to control a phone would be medium low difficulty
looks pretty promising, i see there are a ton of bluetooth remotes on Amazon that are simple media on one side and keyboard on the back. I might have to screw with that on an android and see If I can cobble together a launcher that’s media friendly
HDMI + A presentation mouse and bluetooth keyboard on an old Pixel?

I bought one of these from Flirc but never used it.
