Hi Brian, I use a combination of a HP USB(1) and a Logitech universal remote to control my Kodi instance, which runs on top of Ubuntu Mate 18.10. This works well but took a quite a lot of fiddling around with config files, choosing a suitable remote to emulate, customising the buttons and ensuring USB ports remained powered on in hibernate so key presses wake the box. I've also heard good things about Flirc(2) when combined with a universal remote. From reports Flirc is much easier to set up initially and is essentially plug and play, though I've not tested it myself. One other thing to note if you don't have a remote (though it sounds like you do) is Logitech remotes require Windows to run their (terrible) proprietary software, which can be done in a VM but not using Wine.

Hello,
Can anyone recommend a good remote control - ideally USB based - for a MythTV system that doesn't have or need a TV controller card?
The current one we have is driving us crazy because it often requires multiple key presses for MythTV to finally respond. Where as the keyboard response (or even Android remote) is very good.
