Go to Settings>>Service Settings>>Control. Check the Port Number. It may not be the default 8080

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.

Try it with the external IP address of your computer instead of localhost.

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.

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.

you aren't literally typing 'ipaddress' are you?

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."

Then you don't have the web interface turned on in kodi settings.

I'm sorry but I have "Allow remote control" marked "on" and "port:8080" and “Kodi web interface – Chorus2”.
