Kore 1.5.0 official Kodi remote + OSMC (Kodi 15.2) directional buttons do nothin - PantsOnFire - 2015-10-12
Okay it was a bit optimistic to squeeze detailed info into the Subject line..
I've found what I believe to be a bug in the remote app.
Actually, I'm not clear whether it's a Kore bug or an OSMC bug but I'm posting it here AND over at the OSMC forums.
THE PROBLEM:
--- Using the latest official Kore remote for Android (1.5.0 at time of writing), to control rPi2 OSMC (based on Kodi 15.2 (Sept.27th 2015)),
--- When playing any video (local or remote (LAN or INTERNET)), pressing UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT on the keyboard seeks through the video.
--- But the directional buttons on the Kore remote DO NOT do the same. (I believe they are supposed to)
I can't work out why they are not working for seeking, they work everywhere else in the installation.
Thanks for reading, if anyone has any suggestions, would be glad to know them.
Thanks.

In Kore, go into your media center settings and select the "Use event server" option. Also check the ES Port (9777), making sure that your firewall isn't blocking it.
