Key notes
TheMedia Centerfell by the wayside in Windows 10. That was perhaps one of the more debatable things for Microsoft to remove from the OS.
However, there are a fewMedia Centerreplacements compatible with Windows 10. One isKodi Jarvis, which is a multiplatform software package you can play videos, films, music and photo slideshows with.
How can I set up a Kodi Remote Control in Windows 10?
You can set up a Windows 10Kodiremote control with an Android tablet or phone.
If you don’t already haveKodi, you can save its installer to Windows fromthis website page.
ClickInstallerbeside Windows to save its setup wizard. Then run through theKodisetup wizard to open the software as in the snapshot below.
Setting up an Android Remote for Kodi
Now you can set up a newKodiremote to navigate the software with something comparable to a TV controller. However, you’ll need to have an updated Android tablet or phone to add the Kore app to.
First, add theXBMCFoundation Kore app to your Android devicefrom this page. Then openKodiand configure the software as follows.
Configuring the Kore App
Now open the Kore remote app on your Android device. Kore might automatically detect the Windows 10 Kodi installation.
However, if Kore doesn’t detect it, you’ll need to entermedia centername, port, username, and IP address details in the app’s Manuel configuration page.
If Kore Still Doesn’t Work
If Kore still isn’t working after you’ve followed the above guidelines exactly, that might be down to your firewall settings. The firewall might blockKodi. So configure firewall settings in Windows 10 as follows.
Now you can navigateKodiwith the Android remote shown directly above. Click the arrow keys and middle button on the remote to navigate theKodimenus and options.
Kore is the official remote forKodi, but you can also set up an Android remote for the software with theYaste app. Both apps are great remote controls for themedia center.
