If you have Kodi installed on your Sony Bravia TV and find it inconvenient to use the remote every time you launch Kodi, you can download the Kodi app on your smartphone and connect it to your TV. In this post, we’ll guide you on how to set up Kodi remote on an iPhone.
First, you need to download the official Kodi remote from the play store and not the Kodi TV app. Once downloaded, open it and click on “Add a Host” from the bottom. You’ll be presented with some information that you need to fill in, such as the description, TCP port, IP address, and port of your television, which is usually 8080. You don’t need to put the MAC address, but the username and password will be Kodi, and you can choose any password.
Next, open the Kodi app on your Smart TV and go to settings > service settings > control > allow remote control y http. Turn that on and add the port number, which should match the port number you used in the Kodi remote app. For the username, leave it as Kodi, and choose any password.
Then, go to system information and copy the IP address. Type it over to the top column where it says host port in the Kodi remote app, and fill in the port, username, and password. Forget about the MAC address and you’re done!
Once connected, there will be a green mark on the left of the Kodi icon, and you’ll find different options in the menu. Click on remote control, and you’ll be presented with a full-fledged remote control that you can easily use on your iPhone. The remote control interface is pretty straightforward, with the back button and home button.
In conclusion, connecting your Kodi remote from your iPhone to your TV is quite easy and convenient. With this guide, you can now enjoy using your iPhone as a remote control for your Kodi app on Sony Bravia TV.
