Can you post a link to what remote you exactly have?
As I suppose you don't have an IR receiver yet. I would take a look for the "Flirc" dongle. It's an USB IR receiver which is recognized as an USB keyboard and because of that it works out of the box on any Kodi or OpenElec installation. no special drivers needed. Setting this thing up is done in 20 minutes (via gui). There are a lot of youtube videos around which explain the setup very well. I use it for myself with my harmony remote. And the benefit is...you can use ANY remote in the house with this dongle

The module I linked above seems to still work great with Kodi 16 and Ubuntu 14.04. I just have to reinstall it every time I update the kernel, no big deal.
