About this app

Important: "Zeroconf" and "Allow control of Kodi via HTTP" must be enabled in your Kodi settings. In order to control your Kodi remotely you need to enable Settings -> Services -> Webserver -> Allow control of Kodi via HTTP. Control Kodi right from your wrist with this app. It couldn't get much more comfortable to get your favorite flicks going on the big screen. All it takes are a few taps on your Apple Watch. Also Zeroconf has to be enabled. This should be the case by default though.
