All fair, which is why I was hesitant to ask. I've seen enough effort from 3rd parties and volunteers trying to support the SC outside of Steam to know that it's definitely a mixed result at best. Exposing M&K control inputs via the (glyphs is the right word? glyphs, then) is my main ask then. It would be on me, the user, to worry about what the SC is trying to do.
My stance toward the SC (and I've got four of them since that $5 sale in November, I love it that much and will keep one around as a parts bin) is that it's amazing in Steam and not very usable anywhere else. I can make it operate Kodi more or less in a pinch if I just picked it up and intend to start Big Picture, but I don't expect a whole lot else from the device. My expectation would be the same in Playnite. Basic navigation functionality with maybe left and right mouse-clicking and that's all I can realistically expect. It's just a crippled sort-of functional device outside Steam.
For context, I have a hodgepodge of solutions to make my system work smoothly as a home theater PC. Kodi is the primary interface with links and scripts to launch Steam, GoG, Epic, and Launchbox for retro games. I came here trying to find solutions for UWP game integration now that I have the MS Game Pass. I'm now looking at integrating GoG, Epic, and the Windows Store into Playnite because it is such a light, 'it just works' system and launching it from Kodi.
