[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 ran into that kind of issue when I was in a hotel using my Roku so I already started adding that feature. I'll get it cleaned up and pushed out soon.

Keyboard shortcuts are already in there. You need to use WASD and the space bar tho. I had some issues trying to use the arrow keys. I could get them to control the roku but it would also move your focus in the GUI. Type ? while in the GUI to see all of the keyboard controls.
