Problem with kodi & firewall - matjazr - 2015-09-21
everytime when i start kodi i got this message:
my firewall have rules:
so what to do?
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - wgstarks - 2015-09-21
Select "Allow".
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - matjazr - 2015-09-21
Yes allow every time I am starting kodi
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - nickr - 2015-09-23
Jodi shouldn't be getting incoming connections should it?
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - Ned Scott - 2015-09-23
UPnP, AirPlay, and web interface/remotes would be incoming connections.
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - matjazr - 2015-09-23
sorry but i still don't know what to do....only to allow every time when i start Kodi...but is little disturbing me
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - wgstarks - 2015-09-23
Yes. Select "Allow" every time. Would be nice if Apple had an "Always Allow" option, but they don't.

Selecting "Allow" in that dialog is intended as "Always Allow", infact it should automatically add that app in the list of allowed applications (if it wasn't already there).
Unfortunately, this function simply doesn't always work as intended
( there are many discussions about the argument).I don't use Kodi under OSX, however I resolved this issue with other applications. Try following these steps :
1) delete Kodi from the list of allowed apps
2) completely Disable OSX firewall
3) Repair disk permissions (via Utility disk)
4) Enable Firewall
5) Add Kodi to the allowed applications list
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - wgstarks - 2015-09-23
Hmmmmm. I always thought this was an issue with the firewall on OSX Server since it started when I installed Server. I wonder if there's any way to set custom rules for the server firewall?

It's not related to 'Server' component , that issue is also common in 'basic' OSX installation.
I suggest you to try with permissions repair (it solved with other apps) or disable OS X firewall and switch to 3rd party solutions (Little snitch, Hands off).
I can't help you in configuring server component, however this issue is not related to Kodi, I think you should do better asking elsewhere

RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - juramusger - 2016-02-25
it's back!
I remember this problem started (for some? all? users) when apple introduced some new security concerning licensed developers. back then there was a workaround to self sign Kodi or something like that.
But then, I think somewhere in Helix it was fixed - at least for me, although maybe not for everyone, see above.
At least for me it came back with Jarvis.
@Memphiz, do you remember what fixed it then and do you have a clue why it may no longer work?
Edit: I am on 10.11.3 and Kodi 16.0. No problem on the same system with all versions of Isengard.
I suppose a debug log might not be helpful for this problem, as it occurs "outside" Kodi, but if somebody thinks otherwise I will post one.
@Memphiz, I adressed directly because I figured it was you who fixed it back then.
Problem with kodi & firewall - Memphiz - 2016-02-26
the fix was to name the directory where we put our dylibs to inside of Kodi.app from "Frameworks" to "Libraries" which is still in place imo...
RE: Problem with kodi & firewall - juramusger - 2016-02-27
I see.
Well, self signing still works (at least for me), so no immediate problem anymore.
sudo codesign --force --sign - /Applications/Kodi.app/
Would still be interesting to know what changed in Jarvis that made (at least my installation of) OSX no longer function with the developer signed version.
Does it work without self signing for anyone on 10.11.3?
