Remote

Youtube	Vimeo	Fmovies

Remote as the name entails, is a remote, but for your browser 🎉

Nowadays, most of the content is available through the browser. However your browser is not always accessible straight from your TV, so you end up displaying your computer's screen on your TV.

Remote is the missing controller for your browser, especially when you're showing video content on TV.

Demo

Installing

Chrome Webstore

Install it directly from the Chrome Webstore

Build it locally

npm i                   # Installs dependencies
typings install         # Install typings
npm run build:all       # Builds the server, the client and the extension
npm run server:start    # Launches the server

Now you can add the remote to Chrome via chrome://extensions

Click the Load unpacked extension button and select the folder build/extensions

Using

Scan the QRCode given by the extension when you click on it

... and that's it 😄 Happy controlling !
