 This is based on moltengamepad: https://gitlab.com/AllMeatball/moltengamepad The project is not particularly well maintained anymore and getting it working is a project in and of itself but once it's up and running and you have it configured properly it works well I first tried this with an aftermarket wiimote and got nowhere, I suggest finding an OEM wiimote if you want to replicate my setup 7 comments
 @drewdevault My wiimotes are old and don't have gyro (I have the add-on just for one), so it's good knowing IR also works. @drewdevault "Kodi is the least reliable part of this setup" I'm also running kodi on my mediacenter PC and I'm not 100% happy with it. Does anybody know a more reliable software for watching movies and accessing some streaming services like youtube or twitch or even the online services of local TV stations? Kodi has plugins for all of that. @drewdevault I'm kinda disappointed that KDE Big Plasma has stalled, haven't seen any real commits for a while (last I checked). I've been running Ubuntu with a seriously hacked theme for a while. Today I'm actually going to format it to fedora. Kodi is also the least reliable part of my setup, well between that and vaapi randomly breaking for a few weeks. @drewdevault the second gripe is widevine. With kodi you can get 1080p. But not really with anything else. And no possibility of 4k. Which is a drm is evil problem, but it would really be nice if that wasn't an issue |

This is the latest of many steps to make the "drive my TV with a dedicated Linux PC" experience pleasant. The outcome is pretty comfy. This box is a decent gaming PC for steam big picture mode with some wireless xbox one controllers to drive that, runs a few emulators pretty well (ryujinx, dolphin, pcsx2), it's a seedbox running Kodi and Jellyfin -- Kodi is the least reliable part of this setup. Bluetooth keyboard and wiimote mouse are the latest updates and it's pretty comfy
