Kodi on Android

[pinea64.edison]

Pine64 does not support CEC and so your TV remote will not work... For context menu try long pressing the left mouse key and see if that works.

You can download a remote app to you android phone (if you have one) and control Kodi this was as well.
One example is the app Yatse.  you will need to configure Kodi to enable the remote control.

Yatse only works on KODI but not on android... so you still need additional remote.
 
I don't know if it works flawlessly, but there is an IR pine64 remote on the shop.

I wonder if similar IR remotes for android TV can work with pine64.... anyone tried that so far?

I actually got an Air mouse remote from Amazon and it seems to work well...I am able to use it even for some basic games as well as Kodi.

thanks, it's encouraging... i could not find a simple and appropriate remote IR app to control the pine through my smartphone. so a dedicated remote (with implemented keyboard) is the way to go..

This is the one i got from Amazon...
