Hi to all.
I’m experiencing a rather weird issue with Kore (Android) and Kodi (Linux Mint 17.3).
Kore has been working flawlessly for quite a long time. The day before yesterday I noticed the problem I’m experiencing now.
Kodi says it is trying to connect to my media center but never completes this action. HOWEVER, I can use the remote to navigate through the different screens in Kodi. This means that the up / down / right / left arrow DO work. What I don’t get is the set of play / pause / fast forward / rewind controls (as well as any others that appear once the remote successfully connects to Kodi).
If I try to install the remote in a different device (another Android smartphone) it is able to find the Kodi server without problems.Nonetheless, once I have configured the username / password parameters (I know these by heart) it is impossible to connect too.
At first I thought that I had a problem with my router, since my provider changed it a few days ago so, maybe, an internal firewall was blocking the access to my Kodi server. But what really puzzles me is that SOME commands sent by the remote (arrows) DO reach Kodi.
Any ideas? Could the new router be blocking partially the connection between Kore and Kodi? Any other suggestions?
Regards,
Bleriot.
