Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-14
Hello, for some reason I can't get the interface to work at all. Following instructions for Kodi, I then typed the address http://localhost:8080 but that wouldn't open at all. Any assistance would be appreciated. OS is Windows 10 Home.

Go to Settings>>Service Settings>>Control. Check the Port Number. It may not be the default 8080
RE: Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-15
Thank you for the answer! However, after checking, the Port Number is, actually. 8080, but I still get: "This site can’t be reached.
Localhost refused to connect." I'd be glad of any help with the matter.

Are you doing this on the same computer kodi is running on?
RE: Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-16
Yes, the same PC.
RE: Chorus2 interface - nickr - 2017-04-16
Try it with the external IP address of your computer instead of localhost.
RE: Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-17
Thank you for the advice. Being sort of a novice with these matters, however, I'm at a loss with how and where to use this IP address with Kodi; seems impossible to put it in the right form in the "Port number" slot.
RE: Chorus2 interface - nickr - 2017-04-18
No I mean in your web browser go to http://ipaddress:8080
RE: Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-19
Thank you again. Sorry to cause trouble, but I still get "This site can’t be reached.
ipaddress’s server DNS address could not be found." And something like: "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"
So, I'm still at a loss, I'm afraid.
RE: Chorus2 interface - nickr - 2017-04-19
you aren't literally typing 'ipaddress' are you?
RE: Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-20
Yes, thank you for that, how stupid of me...still, with the right numerical input, "This site can't be reached", "... took too long to respond."
RE: Chorus2 interface - nickr - 2017-04-21
Then you don't have the web interface turned on in kodi settings.
RE: Chorus2 interface - ericrose - 2017-04-21
I'm sorry but I have "Allow remote control" marked "on" and "port:8080" and “Kodi web interface – Chorus2”.
RE: Chorus2 interface - nickr - 2017-04-24
Is it actually listening on port 8080?
netstat should be able to tell you. some guidance here
