Getting Kodi Remote for iOS to connect - stpope - 2015-07-27
Hi all,
I'm a newbie to Kodi (40 years as a programmer, though) and can't get the remote on an iPad to find my HTPC.
The PC is running a fresh install of Win7 and Kodi 15.0 (Isengard).
The iPad is running iOS 8.4 and Kodi Remote 1.5.3.
When I try to set up the remote and follow the instructions about how to enable it on the PC, I get the spinning circle on the iPad...
Is there something else to enable on the PC side?
...any reply appreciated...

Thanks for the hint; I tried it out (turned off firewalls in the control panel, rebotted) - it had no effect at all...

Is there more to disabling Windows firewalls than the control panel settings?

mm strange, let's start from beginning... try to connect to http://<kodi_ip>:<kodi_port> from the iDevice safari and let me know if you can access to the web interface. If not, there is a network issue between the iDevice and the kodi appliances.
