Minix A2 Lite. Amazon has them for around $25. Its a bluetooth and supported out the box in LibreElec and CoreElec.

Actually the A2 lite uses it's own mini RF receiver dongle than is far more robust vs virtually ALL Bluetooth remotes.
Batteries last 8+ months of daily use.

The Odroid N2 can be easily programmed to use the A2's Infra Red ON button for device power on.

Dude, your the man. Any idea if I need a special bluetooth dongle? I have a cheap one lying around, guess I will try and find out.

I believe there is small usb dongle included with remote. Just plug it in and that's it. It works really well, much better than any infrared remote. Still I use Logitech remote as I prefer to controll all my stuff with just one remote.

What kind of Logitech? I have the harmony hub/smart remote that I use for all my stuff. Hadn't looked into if it was able to work with something running Coreelec but hoped it would.

I'm using a Harmony Elite with my N2, works great. I just added whatever $5 BT adapter ameridroid sells. N2 is set up in Harmony software as 'Microsoft Kodi'

How do you do this? Just ordered an A2; couldn’t pass up for that price.

I’ve been using an Amazon remote with volume controls as well, with a $6 BT dongle from Amazon with my N2. Works well, responsive. But, curious to try Minix A2.

I have one of the cheaper ones, Harmony 650. I use Minix Neo U1 with CoreELEC, took original infrared Minix remote and "teached" all the buttons. Works fine, no problems.

Ah, Microsoft Kodi, sweet I'll give it a go when my device shows up.

hi
Does the passthrough (kodi audio ) work in gt king?  ( for straeming of dolby atmos  and dts:x)   ?


RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - HomerJau - 2019-08-28

Yes

Edit: The N2, this is the N2 thread.

I does running CE Kodi but I warn you there is a serious hardware design and engineering problem with the Beelink GT King that affects it's Ethernet, rendering it a bit of a dud device.

So HardKernel shipped my N2 earlier today, will hopefully have it by next week.
Can't wait to play with it.

Nice! Ameridroid says they will ship in September.


RE: ODROID N2 - AMLogic S922X board from Hardkernel - lightsout - 2019-08-29

I went ahead and grabbed one as well. Went with the 4gb model, figured would be better to not need it than regret it down the road.

For the A2 lite, simple put this in the correct section of the config.ini file:

Code:
remotewakeup='0xe718fe01'
