Currently one of the best options to watch television is our Gnu / Linux is Kodi, formerly known as XBMC. This software allows us to see and turn our equipment or gadget into any multimedia center. The good thing is that this program that was born in Gnu / Linux is for most platforms, both computer and other gadgets, which means that we can use it on a stick, tablet, Raspberry Pi, etc ...
However, one of the drawbacks of this software is that there is no remote control that allows us to control the programs we watch, as is currently the case with television.
For this the team of Kodi has launched Kore an app for android that will allow us to control the television we watch or the movies we watch through Kodi only with a smartphone or tablet.
With Kore we will not need a remote control but a smartphone
Thus, after the setting correct of Kore, we can use our smartphone as if it were a remote control, using the touch screen as a resource to be able to expand the sound, the image or simply change the channel. Kore also allows us to save the remote control of our multimedia center, so if we build one with a raspberry pi, we will not need a remote control but we can use our smartphone or simply use an old one. Kore also allows us to use not only the smartphone but also the tablet and the smartwatch, effectively Kore already has an official version for Android Wear.
Currently there are many apps for remote control with the computer or another gadget, however Kore is the official application of the Kodi Project so if we want to use this software, it is best to use Kore, it is also free for what the costs of The test makes the test a must, don't you think?
