<p>Smithe: </p> <hr /> <div>{{mininav|[[Remote controls]]}}<br /> &lt;section begin=&quot;intro&quot; /&gt;{{Kodi}} can be controlled in several different ways, including both a physical remote control as well as using your smartphone or tablet. This page will link to both the official Team Kodi remote control apps and additional remote apps made by the community, as well as tell you how to enable smartphone/tablet app control in Kodi.&lt;section end=&quot;intro&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> __TOC__<br /> == Remote apps ==<br /> &lt;section begin=&quot;nav&quot; /&gt;<br /> {|<br /> |-<br /> | [[File:Kore now playing nexus6.png|64px|link=Category:Smartphone and tablet remotes]] || &lt;big&gt;'''Smartphone and tablet remote controls'''&lt;/big&gt;<br /> * [[Official Kodi Remote]]<br /> * [[Android remotes]]<br /> * [[iOS remotes]]<br /> * [[Windows Phone remotes]]<br /> * [https://uappexplorer.com/app/com.ubuntu.developer.mzanetti.kodimote Ubuntu touch remote]<br /> |}&lt;section end=&quot;nav&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quick set up guide ==<br /> {{Main|Settings/Services}}<br /> Turn on the following settings in {{kodi}} to enable using a smartphone or tablet remote:<br /> <br /> <br /> {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Services#Remote control|Settings → Services → Remote control → '''Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi''' → {{color|green|'''ON'''}} ]] }}<br /> :This setting enables the basic ability to remotely control Kodi.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Services#Webserver|Settings → Services → Webserver → '''Allow control of Kodi via HTTP''' → {{color|green|'''ON'''}} ]] }} <br /> :Many smartphone remotes also display additional library data, such as images and summaries. This setting allows that extra data to be transmitted to your remote app.<br /> :Take note of the Port number, the Username and the Password (if any). You'll probably need to enter these in your remote app.<br /> <br /> <br /> {{highlight|bordered=yes|[[Settings/Services#Zeroconf|Settings → Services → Zeroconf → '''Announce these services to other systems via Zeroconf''' → {{color|green|'''ON'''}} ]] }}<br /> :Optional. This should be enabled by default already. Zeroconf makes it easier to find your Kodi install on your local network without having to know the exact IP address.<br /> <br /> == Manually enabling remote control ==<br /> {{See also|Web interface#Manually enabling remote control}}<br /> {{#lst:Web interface|manual}}<br /> <br /> == Firewall ==<br /> If there is a firewall between the smartphone or tablet and the device running Kodi or on this device itself, you need to open two ports to enable remote control. The first one is the port of the [[Settings/Services/Webserver|http server]] which is 8080/tcp unless otherwise configured. The second port is the Kodi event port 9777/udp. Many remotes work without the second port, but have limited functionality (e.g. keyboard does not pop up automatically when required). Others like [[Yatse]] do not work at all without it.<br /> <br /> {{updated|16}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Smartphone and tablet remotes|*]]<br /> [[Category:Manual]]<br /> [[Category:Remotes]]<br /> [[Category:Index]]</div>
