Yatse - remote control Libreelec from different network

can5ona · October 24, 2018 at 8:09 PM

Code

I used Yatse in the lan network to support Libreelec.

Now I have two networks - one wifi and one cable.

Libreelec is in a cable network.
Android phone is on the wifi network.
Two different network providers.

I would like to be able to control Libreelec.

Is it possible to control from outside the network where libreelec is?

I have static, public ip and I can forwards ports.

I try configure Yatse but always fail.
I try type static, public ip and port (forwarded 8080) and fail.

Yes, this works fine if you add the necessary port forwards. Be careful though, I wouldn't open them to the internet, otherwise you could have some "fun".

I have 4 separate local networks here, RPi with LibreELEC got it's own net as all the phones / tablets (I moved them into the separated guest WLAN).

I enabled port forwards for tcp 8080, tcp 9090 and udp 9777 and both Yatse (on android) and Kore (on android and ipad) work fine with that.

so long,

I must open to internet (no other Way) - two ISP - one mobile router (and here android phone) and cable network from local provider (kodi, nas synology, pc).

I try open ports from your post - fail.

Maybe i need set something in libreelec or Yatse?

I'd strongly advise against opening anything to the internet - this'll end in a security nightmare.

If you really want to access Kodi/LibreELEC from the internet then install a VPN on your cable/LAN router and connect to that via your mobile devices when you want to access Kodi/LE.

Or just add a wireless access point to your LAN so you can connect your mobile devices via that - then you don't have to worry about random port scanners and script kiddies taking over your kodi installation.

so long,

If the LE box has a wireless card that supports AP mode, enable the wireless hotspot and connect the phone to that instead of the mobile router. Or get a normal wireless router/bridge and connect to the Cable network. DO NOT CONNECT LibreELEC TO THE INTERNET.
