It works well, although it never discovered my Kodi automatically. There are some UI weak points, when viewing a video, some controls are way to small, e.g. the volume. Also management of voice tracks and subtitles isn't too convenient. There's ample space to have controls that would work much better...

I lack function for scrolling video +10s -10s in main interface. There are one in active notification in android, but it does a bit far jumps (+-30s). There are speed controls in main interface, but on weak systems like my Raspberry Pi it is not very useful and hard to point particular moment. Anyway, thansk to developers!

Okay so I was first annoyed I had to use another app to control Kodi through Google TV. However this remote is surprisingly well designed and feature packed. It syncs with media player and even gives synapse of watch your watching, while being able to use playlists. Kodi by far has been the best experience I've had as a media player.
