Hi All, wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a FOSS Android/Google TV remote control app? My phone doesn’t support IR so looking for a remote control app that can connect via Wifi. TIA!

    if it’s an android tv there should be a lot of options.
    even if none of them are foss you should still be able to use the discontinued android remote app. It’s not foss but it’s not too bloated either (it just does it’s job)

      I looked for this ‘android remote app’ but a lot of options came up when searching for it. Would you be able to tell me the name of the developer please, or send me a direct download link? Thanks in advance!

        yeah Google removed it and merged it into android tv/movies app but you can still sideload the old one (you can find it online)

          Thanks! I think I found it online but whichever apk I download throws an error message ‘this app is not compatible with your phone’ when trying to install it. I’ll keep looking for one that works 👍🏻.
