    Default htpc and remote controls

    thinking of getting a windows based htpc, my question is would a windows media center center remote control work for kodi on the htpc?

    No reason why it shouldn't work.A matter of preference I guess.

    Windows Media Center remotes work great on Kodi. I have HP HTPCs. If you have an Android phone or tablet, install an app called yatse on your phone. It turns your phone into a kodi remote control. It works even better than a windows remote.
