I have aac mini with an infared reciever on it. I’d love to use it as a TV PC. And ideally an infared remote too.
I am looking for software recommendations for this, as I’ve done basically no research.
What’s my best option? Linux with kodi? How would a remote connect / which software is required for the remote to work??
Thanks!

Kodi has the IR stuff built in from what I remember. At least on windows it did years ago. You just need a “media remote” at one point called windows media remote. It’s a usb or receiver with a regular IR remote.
After a quick google here is a list I found.

Didn’t apple used to make their own IR remote for that? Is the hardware onboard the Mini preset to use their hardware or is it more generic once Linux is installed?
I have a FLIRC remote with the receiver and use it for both my TV and HTPC.
It’s awesome once set up, but the app is honestly dogshit. They put in all these smooth menu transitions and whatnot, making it painfully difficult to configure the remote.
