Can't Start Event Server On Fedora 28
#1
I have Kodi installed on my server running Fedora 28 and it consistently fails to start the Event Server (Remote Communications Server) so that I can control it with my phone. I have SE Linux disabled, and iptables is running (I have Docker containers running) but I have it set to allow all TCP and UDP packets so I'm not sure what the issue is, I've tried multiple ports but that doesn't have any effect.

As soon as I select Allow remote control from applications on other systems I get the Failed to start alert box and when I close it, Kodi freezes. This is what the debug log shows when I select the option and then close the dialog box.

Tried a "netstat" (or lsof) to check there's not already something running on that port (9777)...?
