Kodi Webserver Set Up

Jihakuz · April 3, 2018

Hey guys,

So I have Kodi setup on my home PC, and have been using UPNP to stream to other devices on my home network. I then discovered that you can set it up as a webserver to access it anywhere. So I have turned on the HTTP settings and can access the server on my home network. I then couldn't access it on my phone using 4G, so I tried to portforward 8080 but I don't think it worked as I still couldn't access it over 4G. I know this isn't enough infomation to help, so just as for any screenshots and I'll be happy to show them.

You know you need to use the external IP when you use 4G right?

The one you use in your house is the internal one.

Okay, now I feel stupid. Thank you, it works . I did try both before, but they didn't work but I guess that's cause I didn't port forward. Sorry for wasting your time, but now I know so thank you.
