[RPi4] Kodi Web Interface

  • libreelec (v12.0.1) and SSH enabled, Jellyfin server: To access the default Kodi control screen, I would have to hook up a monitor and keyboard to the RPi 4. I would like to have the same access but using a web browser. That way, it saves time verses having to connect the hardware, do the work and then disconnect the hardware.

    Question: is it possible to enable a web browser access using a SSH terminal, and if so, would one use the default HTTP port or would it be a different port?

  • Found the SSH version of instructions.

    Look for the section labeled: Manually enabling remote control

    Update: looks like the file reverts back once a reboot has been done. I'll followup later to see if the file gets updated when the normal kodi access is changed via the monitor / keyboard.

  • Last Update:

    I ended up plugging in a monitor and keyboard into the RPi 4 and using the Kodi interface, I enabled the web (http) access. I was disappointed with the web interface as it lacked the fine granularity available with the hardware interface (ie. monitor & keyboard)
