I actually had this same want for my raspberry pi 4 and did a lot of research. I really wanted an easy way to turn on and turn off my raspberry via remote control after watching videos on Kodi. With it completely shutting down properly and booting up properly when turned on. Chewitt & Da Flex are exactly spot on needing addition reseller hardware.

I found this was best solution. It's called a "RemotePi Board for Pi 4"

RemotePi Board for Pi 4 – MSL Digital Solutions

Also, a Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO 1 to 2 Expansion Board.

Amazon.com: Micro Connectors Raspberry Pi 40-pin GPIO 1 to 2 Expansion Board (RAS-GP02): Computers & Accessories

It's super easy to setup and configure the software with provided instructions. Works with any IR remote.
It's the greatest thing added with my JustBoom Digi Hat audio board. Making my Raspberry Pi 4 ideal for Kodi entertainment.

Hope this helps. Happy Days!

Issue:

Clicking "Pause" on currently playing 4K video will cause the screen to go black and will show the video media controls panel. Any media control button you click will not show the video playing while control panel is displayed. (example fast forward or chapters). When you click "Play" again. The video will play and you will hear the audio. But you will need to click the back button to leave the media control panel to remove black screen. Displaying the video again. This same issue happens when a video has subtitles. When a subtitle is displayed. The screen will go black displaying the subtitle and audio playing. Then after a second will display the video content again. Seems like only on 4K/2160p/HDR content I'm getting a overlay black screen with any

This issue is only happen when I play 4K/2160p/HDR (mkv/hevc/265) videos on my Raspberry Pi 4 on Kodi running LibreELEC 9.2.0. Tested with other video content resolutions and file types. All passed testing and not showing black screen. I did not have this issue previously on prior versions of LibreELEC on my Raspberry Pi 4 with same configuration.

Configuration:

Kodi:

Don't really know what player setting or interface issue on Kodi could be causing this. There isn't much in Kodi Expert within settings to adjust this.
