Setup Instructions:
In Kodi go to System -> Settings -> Services and enable the following settings:
- Webserver -> Allow control of Kodi via HTTP
- Remote control ->Allow programs of this system to control Kodi
- Remote control -> Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi
FAQ:
- Yellow server icon: Usually the option “Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi” has not been enabled in Kodi. For more info see http://goo.gl/0EiYzN
- How to force Refresh Music Library: Long-press on the server name and select refresh music
- Music or Video library is empty: In order to see your music and video files you need to enable the library function within Kodi and scan your music and video files to the library.
- By default the application uses a “local” queue for music playback: This has the big advantage of having a very flexible queuing system. However this has some limitations you may not like: You cannot control music playback from more than one remote at a time (which may be good since other family members can't clear your play queue by mistake), skipping songs using a hardware remote control won't work since only one song is in the Kodi queue. The unlocked version has a feature to use the Kodi queue to bypass these limitations.
- Playlists are not visible: In Kodi playlists must be in a special folder. See http://wiki.XBMC.org/index.php?title=Playlists
- Streaming music / video is not working: The reason may be that no source is created in Kodi (sources.xml). Some Kodi versions (e.g. raspberry pi) allow scraping of media files without adding a source. Kodi will only allow downloading/streaming media which is defined inside a source. In case of doupt ask in the Kodi forum

The most convenient, user friendly Kodi remote for Android. What you need is just few clicks away. Well designed. Fully functional. Works fast. Much better than Yatse. I love it.

Great app! I've been using it for some time now and I liked it enough to buy it. It would be awesome if it remembered my preference for playing locally on phone rather than on my desktop. I'll press play at my buddy's house and then realize that I'm blasting loud music at home after midnight LOL. So dev! If you could add in an option to prefer local playing that would be swell.. and if not.. I'm still satisfied with my purchase.

However, the main reason I purchased the unlocker was to stream music from my PC to android device (Moto G). Is this not possible or am I missing it completely? Very great design, though.

Doesn't work ,everything shows up in the remote but nothing actually plays on the chromecast just says the app name.only reason I bought it.

The wifi streaming from my phone into Kodi is one of my favorite features. I don't like streaming audio because everyone knows the audio gets compressed and the quality suffers at times. Being able to play songs without the 33ft limitation is awesome.

I use this remote together with the official Kore remote. I like that i can browse in add-ons instead of just opening them. The only reason I still use the official one is because I don't like the layout/buttons and that it slides over from the side.

When i send text from this app to kodi, the characters received by kodi are out of sequence.

Any chance you guys could possibly implement some Tasker integration. That would make this app absolutely the top kodi/xbmc remote.

Absolutly awesome app. Specially if you are interesting in the music part for Kodi. This is the app. You need!

Could you please add haptic feedback option for remote.. I don't use Kodi for music, it would be nice to hide music tab on main screen. Also when you do a voice search it doesn't always submit the entered text and do the search. Being able to swipe up from the now playing bar to open the window would be great, instead of just pressing only.

For some reason on the remote when I hit "Menu" it takes me Home instead of opening the Kodi Contextual Menu (keyboard key = c) which forces me back to Kore or Yatse. Sorry :(

I have tried lot of apps for controlling my kodi running on raspberry pi, but nothing comes close to Music Pump. Best part is streaming local media to kodi and awesome remote

By far the best kodi remote. Well designed UI. My favourite feature is that I can easily switch between local and remote playback.

Best app I've found for playing music using Kodi/XBMC without connecting a screen. Kodi + Music Pump = best and easiest to use audio player out there!

Works well, pulls your add ons from kodi so you queue stuff up to watch. Handy for boxset binge viewing! Not one issue so far!

Really good, stream from phone works really well. One bug I've found that seeking by dragging the time bar don't show seek position. Navigating back and to now playing again shows it correctly
