I've never used `tabulated-list-mode' mode, and I just had a very quick
look at your example code.

There is something wrong with the tabulated-list-* assignments.  First,
the assignment expression to `tabulated-list-entries' is missing a quote
before the given list, so your code raises an error.  Secondly, the
assigned values don't seem to fit the required format.  I guess it
should more or less look like this (dunno if it makes sense for your
example, but at least, it makes "something happen" here):

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(define-derived-mode kodi-remote-mode tabulated-list-mode "kodi-remote"
  (setq tabulated-list-format [("choice" 10 t)])
  (setq tabulated-list-entries '((nil ["Series"])))
  (tabulated-list-init-header)
  (tabulated-list-print))
#+end_src


HTH,
