You could install LibreELEC on the Pi, it's a distro specifically made for Kodi and that can be controlled with the Kore app from your phone
+1 Kodi. Been running it for ages on an old laptop with a infared remote with USB dongle. Kodi is set to autostart. Pretty hands off and can stream to it from local sources using Kore for android.
EDIT: Can stream from local AND online sources using Kore ex Newpipe (Youtube).
I think I will try Installing libreElec on my old laptop and see how that goes. I saw somewhere that the tv remote that the tv comes with might work because it sends the input through the HDMI. If that doesn't work do you think IR remotes are better than Bluetooth?
I think bluetooth or 2.4 mhz is better than IR. Coming to think of it mine is a china something with keyboard on the side and remote on the other using 2.4 mhz. So point of line is not needed which is nice.
