Hi all,

I hope that this is the right place for my question.
I have recently updated my RPI 2 from Openelec 5.0.8 to Openelec 6.0.3, after I did that everything seems to work fine, except for my remote control that now doesn't work.
I have tried to search online and also posted a question in their forum but for now, they haven't responded at all.

Do you have any idea for how I can fix it? In a more general note, it looks like their forum is not active as it was before, is there a better solution for media center (KODI) on the RPI 2?

Thanks a lot,
Shlomi

You can use libreelec which is a drop in replacement

What type of remote is it?

As said LibreELEC is an alternative to OpenELEC.

Hi,

This is my remote: https://www.amazon.com/HP-Infrared-Recei...te+Control

I will try to install LibreELEC.
Thanks
