Just a reminder for everyone to upgrade the cli. New update fixed a few things.

Hey guys,
Trying to set this up. But having issues with the webapp not getting anything out of Kodi. I can log in fine outside the network. I am using Plex Codi Connect though.
Would this cause any issues?
Error I'm getting is: Please validate your server information and try again
But I promise, im getting to it outside the network? Port forwarding is working fine.

Did you use the 'Deploy to Heroku' button or did you deploy from the command line?
Also, I updated the Heroku Python version, and PyPi was having issues earlier today when they did a migration. I'd say give it another shot.

Yeah, looks like an issue with how Flask-Ask is setting requirements breaks in pip 10: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distut...31642.html
I'll create a PR for that to be fixed.

A question. I remember when going through the setup that it said that the port 9090 was in use but since that is kodi I did not pay any attention to it. Should I stop kodi on the device and start all over alternatively run the setup on another device?
