> Can vlc scrape Metadata and download art? yes > Can I browse my catalog through vlc? yes > Does it work with my remote? if you got a remote that connects to your pc, yes. there are quite a few of these around, especially if you buy a microserver or similar. > How hard is it to get to the next episode when watching a season? pretty easy.. actually, its imo way easier than anywhere else, as you can always use a wireless keyboard/mouse and just jump around VLC can even cast to a chromecast device and serve its content to TVs if you want that most of that needs to be enabled through the settings though.
