Quick set up guide
Turn on the following settings in Kodi to enable using a smartphone or tablet remote:
Settings → Services → Remote control → Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi → ON
- This setting enables the basic ability to remotely control Kodi.
Settings → Services → Webserver → Allow control of Kodi via HTTP → ON
- 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.
Settings → Services → Zeroconf → Announce these services to other systems via Zeroconf → ON
- 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.
