TV with infared sensor (mac mini)

SelfhostedEnglish • 17 days ago

inspired by this post

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!

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?
