To simplify my setup using Google TV, I installed a custom launcher and set that as the default one. This removed the horrible home screen and now I just see Jellyfin when the TV turns on. From there, it's a Netflix like experience. Also, the TV remote is able to control the volume of the AVR, so it's a single remote experience. I tried the button remapping route, but abandoned that. The custom launcher is the way to go.
A long time ago I used to use a PC with a remote and Kodi and it was nice, but you'll still need two remotes to get it all working.
What launcher did you use? I'm about to throw my Google tv in the trash with how slow the home screen is
Flauncher I didn't care to setup the background so it's a solid color. Soo basic and perfect. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.efesser.flauncher
