Kodi on Linux (Debian) + Logitech remote - Capslock - 2023-10-08
Hello,
I recently switched from a raspberry pi 3 to a PC with Debian. Everything is fine except the remote control with a hub based Harmony remote .
When i try to pause/play the video a "forbidden sign" appears.
I have an IR dongle, so I can navigate in the menus, press OK, etc., but I can't stop the playback.
My PC has bluetooth but I don't know how to pair with the remote.
What configuration are you using to make it work please ?

Maybe this helps for your remote problem:

Wow ! It works like a charm !!
Thank you very much @wastis !
I have another issue, should I create a new post ?
It seems that I can't set an audio passthrough and every audio tracks are played in PCM
In System -> Audio -> Audio Passthough there is nothing to set.
My settings :
Player -> Videos -> Playback -> Sync playback to display -> No
System -> Audio -> Audio decoder -> Number of channel -> 5.1
System -> Audio -> Audio decoder -> Output configuration -> Best match
I read that this issue can be caused by Pulse audio. So, I tried to configure Pulse Audio via pavucontrol, I've enable for example DTS for my HDMI output, but the videos stutter after that.
Should I remove Pulse Audio to use ALSA instead ?
Can someone help me on this please ?

Probably better to create a new thread as the expert on that topic might see it directly from the overview.
To help you a bit, it depends on what you are using your system for.
Is it just Kodi and nothing else, I would set-up a headless system (without desktop) and use alsa.
If you use your PC for multiple purposes including Kodi, I would not remove pulseaudio as your sound system gets messed otherwise.
It is better to try to get pass through working with pulseaudio.
