Nearly all your needs will be covered with OpenELEC on the Core, the only thing to check would be Plug n Play usb MCE IR receiver compatibility. Codesnake would know for sure about remote control compatibility.
I take it the IR receiver is for the Logitech IR remote signals ?
The built in IR receiver on the Core is only used for Power On/Off and Dual boot.
The Core comes with a simple remote with not many buttons, see page #1.
You can also have it autoboot straight into Kodi when using Android Lollipop as well, put the device into standby with the remote power button and it quickly wakes again with another power button press. I never bother as AML ARM devices consume little power.
VC1 29.97fps will still have playback issues in OE too, 23.976fps VC1 is fine.
