Felix,
Thanks for the advice! I know how to proceed now. Just a few comments in
reply.
For peace of mind, here's how you can back up and restore your
settings:

Yes that's just what I was looking for.
Remote Buddy is designed from ground up to handle several remotes and
keep mapping settings for each remote control separately.
Cool, that's a good design.
Remote Buddy comes with very usable defaults. You can, of course,
always make adjustments to fit your personal needs or preferences.
Fortunately, I haven't had to do much customization. Now I'm motivated
to dive in.
You'll probably want to add an Activity/Device for the Roku 3 in the
Harmony software to control these.
Right. I use the Logitech app to configure the Harmaony Smart Control. I
have (mostly working) devices and activities for the AVR, Roku, TV, and
Plex on Mac. After I upgraded to Smart Control I found a few minor
problems, mostly with key mappings in the Harmony setup. Oddly all the
activities for Plex and Mac HTPC were not migrated, but I was able to
recreate those.
The only problem related to RB is an intermittent failure to invoke or
navigate the RB menus. Usually they work, but sometimes they don't
respond. Similarly, I haven't been able to rely on control over the DVD
player menus.

Do you refer to the standalone application only available to
subscribers? Or the web page inside a browser?
The former - standalone app in presentation mode - though I suppose one
could do the same (maybe more) by controlling the Safari Web browser.
Interesting idea, thanks.
I've no experience with chrome casting, so I can't currently say
anything about this. Thanks for bringing this onto my radar.
Chromecast opens up a myriad of possibilities for home theater and
business presentations. Not that it's a new concept, but it's a fairly
simple and capable piece of hardware. With the browser integration, and
increasing support from applications, I think it might do well with
people who are less technical than the average Mac user or home theater
enthusiast.
Let me know if I can assist you in the future with alpha releases or
whatever.
Thanks again!
Keith
