I put Kodi on a raspberry pi, and my TV supported CEC, so I was able to use the TV remote to seamlessly control Kodi. It was as close to a native interface as I could wish for. And that was all the way back in 2016
CEC is such a nightmare of a technology though. I have problems with it constantly to the point where it’s just expected it won’t work 50% of the time, and it’s impossible to troubleshoot

I have to unplug my docked Steamdeck anytime I want to watch any other input because screws with the CEC functionality so much. It’s a hot mess.
Yeah, Kodi was slick when I had it first on my HTPC, then on the OG Kodi Box. That was about 40% of what I used the HTPC for at the time, though.
Never knew about CEC, learn something new everyday! Thats pretty neat.
