Web interfaces allow users to control and interact with their Kodi installation through a web browser. This can be used for a remote control, library management, visual feedback, and many other things.

Turning on the web interface

The webserver is disabled by default and has to be manually enabled by the user. This can be done in Settings → Services → Webserver → Allow control of Kodi via HTTP. The settings allow to specify a custom port number and an optional username and password for HTTP's Basic Access Authentication. Furthermore a Web interface can be chosen which will be used when accessing the webserver without any specific path.

Using multiple web interfaces at once

Let's say http://123.4.5.6:8080 is your local IP for accessing your default web interface add-on. You can access the other web interface add-ons you have installed by going to http://123.4.5.6:8080/addons/ where you will see a directory listing.
