kodi 17.6 - cannot enable Allow remote control from applications on other systems - castor_fou - 2018-10-26
I would like to use yatse to control kodi.
Using kodi 17.6 on ubuntu 18.04.
From a fresh install (I delete .kodi and launch kodi)
I go to settings, services, control
I enable
Allow remote control from applications to this system
and when enabling Allow remote control from applications on other systems
Kodi is showing a window
Rmote communication server
Failed to start
OK
It is by clicking OK that kodi crashes (have to kill -9)
here is kodi.log with debug log enabled.

Full log only and please use a paste site or the log uploaded add-on.
Also make sure to use kodi from our ppas

I have the same issue.
RE: kodi 17.6 - cannot enable Allow remote control from applications on other systems - castor_fou - 2018-11-06
I fixed my issue by unchecking all the options under Application Control:
Allow remote control from applications on this system
Allow remote control from applications on other systems
I kept only Allow remote control via HTTP

Sorry but this isn't a solution for me. I need to control KODI with my smartphone.

You need to supply a debug log showing the problem.

It is how I use it.
I control kodi with my phone using Yatse. And for that, and I don't know why, you don't need to these 2 options
- Allow remote control from applications on this system
- Allow remote control from applications on other systems

Thank You very much. This has been a problem for a couple years with me. My port was on 8080 already. So I did what you said and change my port to 8081 and it’s working fine. No pop-ups and my smart phone works great with Kodi Remote

Rephrase I did what you said and I also had to change my port to 8081
