Connecting LE/Kodi (GUI) with TeamViewer?

  • Hi,

    For configuration (etc.) purposes, is following scenario possible:

    1) Install VNC add-on for LE/Kodi

    2) Connect to LE (with running VNC) via TeamViewer or

    3) If TeamViewer is a no-go, then VNC

  • 1. Most (not all, but most) LE images have a VNC *server* addon available. 2. Teamviewer (client) does not speak VNC so it cannot connect to a VNC server on an LE box, you would need to connect via TeamViewer to a Win/Mac desktop (with a VNC client installed) with network access to the VNC server on the HTPC. Performance of 2x remote viewing tools on-top of each other probably sucks. 3. If you have network access to the HTPC with VNC server installed you can connect directly using a VNC client.

    NB: If you use VNC to remote view the Kodi GUI performance will be accessible for basic admin tasks. Don't expect to watch movies. Even if it does half work it's nothing something we have any interest in supporting.

    Thx chewitt ! Quick follow-up:

    1) Great!

    2) OK, will forget TeamViewer in this scenario

    3) The VNC it is. Sure I have network address (ip and "hostname") in my home-network for LE

    Absolutely NOT planning to watch movies, configuration & some "administrative" tasks is then uc.
