Front Row Alternative for High Sierra?

I've seen Plex and some other Home Theater Media Centers made for Mac, but nothing was as nicely cohesive and integrated as Front Row, especially on machines with remote control compatibility.

Any chance remotes and Front Row will be making a return to Mac?

I don't lament the loss of legacy ports as much as the loss of optical audio in the audio jack and remote controls for the great 'lean back' experience we used to have.
