I don't understand approaching this the wrong way around? The only difference as far as I can tell between you and I is my Kodi install is on a windows machine which doens't have a native ssh server.

All else is the exact same as your suggesting minus my local address and kodi username which is the default 'Master User'

I'm thinking perhaps I need to swap out kodi_username for perhaps my windows machine name? I'll give that a shit tonight and see what shakes out.

Thanks again for your help!
