My first experience with Kore is when I installed the app on both my Samsung smartphone and tablet. I had set up Kodi as instructions state and for both Kore apps the connection to Kodi went flawless. The Kodi program is on my HP laptop with Windows 7.
Unable to use my laptop while watching Kodi, I installed Kodi on my wife’s HP laptop running Windows 10 and changed all settings to match mine. I then tried to add a new profile to Kore to be able to control her Kodi. Not only did it not find the media server automatically, but manual entry of network information into Kore also did not elicit a connection. I tried with both my phone Kore and tablet Kore to get a connection and couldn’t. I went into Windows 10 and turned the firewall off for both private and public connections but still no luck. I figured maybe the problem was that Kore could only have one profile so I installed the Kore app on my wife’s Samsung phone and while running Kodi on her laptop tried to get a connection. Still no luck. With the firewall shut off and not being able to connect I am at a loss what the problem may be. But I’ll be the first to jump on the bandwagon of those believing Windows 10 is the culprit. I thought maybe it might have to do with whatever media player Windows 10 uses, because my understanding is Microsoft did away with Windows Media Player for Win10.
I’d really appreciate any help I can get as running Kodi without a remote is a little inconvenient.
