  1. I took the path of least resistance/money. The Yatse remote app for smartphones. That was easy...download, punch in the IP address and port # and there ya go.

    The GF has Yatse downloaded on her phone for when I'm not around.

     

    This is awesome. I can ditch the dollar tree keyboard and cheesy mouse.

     

    I looked at the other options. This was quick, easy and cheap.

     

    Yep, i use that very same app and your are right, easy peasy man.  And you can configure it to operate multiple Kodi machines. Perhaps its time for another project....LOL

  2. Ah, the DAC+ Pro. Another thing to put on the Christmas list...LOL

     

    As far as the remote you have several options. The path of least resistance is to download the android app and use your smartphone. There are both Apple and Android apps out there that will allow you to control OpenELEC. I have that as a backup but mostly I use as Harmony remote to control all my devices. Something like this would work if all you want is to control that one machine. I also bought one of these back in the day and it works on my PI in my bedroom but they are no longer produced.  Now they make a USB CEC device that will work but I have no experience with them.

     

    So, as you can see if you go out and start searching there are many other options than the ones I have listed above. AKA - There are many ways to skin the cat on this one.

  3.  KODI OpenELEC  helix version 14.1. I haven't kept track of recent versions, which seem to change often.

     

    I have OpenELEC on 3 boxes here in my home. Two on PIs and one on a standalone system that I use to deliver all my media and what not. Its a great product and has many plugins you can use to pull and stream content. Good choice and enjoy.
