- biggusdickus 8y agoKodi supports network remotes among other types. You can just install a kodi remote app on your phone.
- Blaiz0r 8y agoWith a Rpi over HDMI you can use your remote on most tvs if they support the CEC standard.
- myrandomcomment 8y agoNo and that’s the issue. Works great for your local / NAS media. Lots of plugins for all sorts of things, except, Netflix, Amazon, XM. I still use the TV apps for that.
- xattt 8y agoThere’s a Netflix plugin that uses the directory structure on Kodi for v18.
- myrandomcomment 8y agoThanks, I have seen and tried it. It’s still not GA and quite buggy. Not at a level I can hand over to my family for use.
- ce4 8y agoSome options besides CEC over HDMI: - Amazon FireTV remote (connects via Bluetooth) - Logitech F710 (if you also run RetroPie, connects via USB) https://retropie.org.uk/ https://retropie.org.uk/ is a great emulation system for several vintage consoles (80's-early 2000's).
- boyce 8y agoWife and I use the Kore app. Less likely to forget where my phone is than a dedicated remote. Handy to have the youtube plugin and share a video to kodi from that app too.
