Setup Instructions: In Kodi go to System -> Settings -> Services and enable the following settings: - Webserver -> Allow control of Kodi via HTTP - Remote control ->Allow programs of this system to control Kodi - Remote control -> Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi
FAQ: - Yellow server icon: Usually the option “Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi” has not been enabled in Kodi. For more info see http://goo.gl/0EiYzN
- How to force Refresh Music Library: Long-press on the server name and select refresh music
- Music or Video library is empty: In order to see your music and video files you need to enable the library function within Kodi and scan your music and video files to the library.
- By default the application uses a “local” queue for music playback: This has the big advantage of having a very flexible queuing system. However this has some limitations you may not like: You cannot control music playback from more than one remote at a time (which may be good since other family members can't clear your play queue by mistake), skipping songs using a hardware remote control won't work since only one song is in the Kodi queue. The unlocked version has a feature to use the Kodi queue to bypass these limitations.
- Playlists are not visible: In Kodi playlists must be in a special folder. See http://wiki.XBMC.org/index.php?title=Playlists
- Streaming music / video is not working: The reason may be that no source is created in Kodi (sources.xml). Some Kodi versions (e.g. raspberry pi) allow scraping of media files without adding a source. Kodi will only allow downloading/streaming media which is defined inside a source.

! Absolutely Brilliant Kodi Remote especially for streaming music from the library to other devices
★★★★☆Kristian Ask· Jun 16, 2018
Perfect in most ways and way better than Kore. I'd give it more than four, but I'm using it as PVR remote only, and it seems like I can't choose that
as start. Also, when hiding menus the music and movies tabs are still there.
I'd like a PVR tab too.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I am thinking of upgrading to the paid version. Is it possible to see thumbnail images of videos in kodi library in mobile appp? (currently it doesn't show any thumbnails)

Avoid this Virus, when a video is playing it locks the phone, so the phone can't be used. Every time I unlock it just locks it again which means I can't stop the video or the app to get back into my phone (until the video stops on its own at which point I uninstalled it)

Version 5 is complete trash, so many issues I can't even list them, going back to older versions. Update, they have done something to this, it keeps saying it cannot connect, but it is connected, every time you come back to the app (switch to another app & back) it askes you to sign in, even though I never set up a user & password, if you set up a user & password, it tells you it is wrong, complete trash. Too bad, it was a very nice app, now is garbage. Tried on another device, exact same trash!

Can't seem to connect to a kodi instance over https.

Not great. Cover art for albums in my collection that I access via Kodi mysteriously won't load, all of them popular well known albums. Really annoying, even if there is some fix I can't be arsed with an app that couldn't even manage cover art properly - it should just work. Use one of the other many Kodi remote control apps that can manage this better.
