Same issue with me. User name and password is set to "kodi". Any big fix in the making?

Thanks for your quick repply. The word "kodi" has no non-ascii character? ;-) I can recreate. I need to set both user name and PW (as I have now) or can leave a field empty (which I prefer)?

I wish this was the reason, but it is not. I even rewrote both user name and ID several times. IP cannot be wrong either as it is auto-detected. Let me try it again tonight.
My suspicion is that it may be related to me using a Krypton nightly? For some other reasons, it is hard for me to roll back to Jarvis though.

meh, understood. Just installed current master just to see if the issue was here, but it's working as expected. Also my guess about strange chars seems wrong, I'm trying to replicate the issue but, in this case, the message says "unsupported url". Seems that kodi's json answer isn't good, but before blaming kodi I need to be sure that it isn't an app issue. Can you produce a kodi debug log, with json component enabled? Maybe there is some clue there.
Also, are you able to connect to kodi without any issue via the web interface?

Thanks for your help. Let me give it another try when I get back home tonight. I had checked retyping the username and password (both in Kodi and the app) and had auto-detected the IP. Also, had tried the web-interface before and it is working (shows up in browser, have not tried doing anything with it).
One additional information. The non-working client runs on LE. I have one other client which is actually working (OE).
Let me give it another shot tonight and report back with a log.

Change the PORT kodi uses. I chose another random port (i. e. 1699) and it works :-).
