Chromecast with Google TV Remote Issues

[stevensko]

The remote wouldn't activate the mouse for me unless I set the boss key to a button that didn't send an infrared signal to my tv. So I suspect the remote doesn't send a signal to the chromecast if it's set to send an infrared signal to the tv instead for the volume, power, mute, and input buttons. I don't know how you would code around this but it's something that should be stated in the instructions.

Ah yes.
This is indeed the case.
I have been told by some chromecast owners that there is a setting to use Chromecast audio instead of TV audio which helps for the volume and mute buttons
Unfortunately this cannot be fixed at app level because system doesn't send IR input to the app at all. I'll add this to the readme though, thanks!
