So my kids have lost my Vero4k remote and im unable to control kodi, in the interim of getting a new remote I thought id try any one of the mobile app's for remote control.

I can remotely login to the media player and change my guisettings which now look like this;

Code:
<services>

        <airplay default="true">true</airplay>

        <airplaypassword default="true"></airplaypassword>

        <airplayvideosupport default="true">true</airplayvideosupport>

        <airplayvolumecontrol default="true">true</airplayvolumecontrol>

        <devicename>osmc</devicename>

        <esallinterfaces default="true">false</esallinterfaces>

        <escontinuousdelay default="true">25</escontinuousdelay>

        <esenabled default="true">true</esenabled>

        <esinitialdelay default="true">750</esinitialdelay>

        <esmaxclients default="true">20</esmaxclients>

        <esport default="true">9777</esport>

        <esportrange default="true">10</esportrange>

        <upnpannounce default="true">true</upnpannounce>

        <upnpcontroller default="true">false</upnpcontroller>

        <upnplookforexternalsubtitles default="true">false</upnplookforexternalsubtitles>

        <upnprenderer default="true">false</upnprenderer>

        <upnpserver default="true">false</upnpserver>

        <useairplaypassword default="true">false</useairplaypassword>

        <webserver default="true">true</webserver>

        <webserverpassword default="true"></webserverpassword>

        <webserverport default="true">80</webserverport>

        <webserverusername default="true"></webserverusername>

        <webskin default="true">webinterface.default</webskin>

        <zeroconf default="true">true</zeroconf>

    </services>

However im not able to connect to my box with any of the remote apps.
A few points of note;

- Using the mobile app, they each find the box using the search/autodiscovery.
- browsing the ip address of the box, logs me into the kodi app (although im given a "Lost Websocket connection" error).
- both phone and box are on the same LAN.

Have i missed anything obvious?

Mobile apps - running under android? I use YATSE or Kore, which are easily set up.
What you may be missing is the Kodi settings to allow remote control:
Settings->Services->Control
allow remote control via HTTP
port - 80 or 8080

HTH

Just to confirm, I do not have UI access to my settings, only SSH / FTP as mentioned above.

I beleive what you are referring to above is the following settings;

<webserver default="true">true</webserver>
<webserverport default="true">80</webserverport>

The esallinterfaces one also needs to be true I think since I believe this is the Allow remote control from applications on other systems gui setting.
