Addon Disclaimer
The experience will be degraded unless these external dependencies are installed: “psutilâ€, “pulsectlâ€, “pyalsaaudioâ€, “pylirc2â€, and “Pillowâ€. Another helpful utility is “unclutterâ€, which automatically hides the mouse pointer. (On a Debian-based system, run “sudo apt-get install -y python-pip python-psutil python-alsaaudio python-pylirc python-pil unclutter && sudo pip install pulsectlâ€). Finally, a theme with a large mouse pointer will improve pointer visibility, (e.g., https://www.gnome-look.org/p/999574/).
Addon Description
The most powerful way to access content on Netflix and YouTube and Amazon Instant Video would be a web browser, if web browsers provided good native support for a 10-foot user interface. This add-on launches a browser and connects the arrow buttons on the remote control to the mouse pointer. This is the most user-friendly way to consume online content without needing a wireless keyboard.
