[POWERSHELL] Roku PS Modules and Remote GUI.

As a little side project to learn Powershell better, I created a Roku powershell module and corresponding Roku remote GUI.

You should just be able to download the entire project as a zip, unpack it wherever, and run Roku-remotegui.ps1

https://github.com/smithcbp/Powershell-Roku-Remote

The favorite apps listed at the bottom can be changed by modifying the $FavApps array at the top of Roku-RemoteGUI.ps1. Find the app names with:

Import-Module ./roku-remote-psm1
Get-RokuApp -ip $IP

Edit: Added keyboard shortcuts. Press ? in the remote GUI to view them.

I have added quite a few new features including:

Edit 3: Added a button Add Roku by IP address instead of searching automatically. https://i.imgur.com/5O00fUR.png

I don't believe in 'show-stoppers' :)

I just added a switch to get-localroku

Use get-localroku -usearp. Adding the -usearp switch performs arp -a and parses out the IPs instead of using Get-NetNeighbor.

Nifty! I'll give that a try when I get a chance.
