I am going to try and get the Kodi remote working as well. Does the bonjour service need to be installed for it to work ?
I don’t think so. The app communicates via wifi on your network so it’s just a standard network protocol.
When you run the app there’s a option to auto find your Kodi (if it’s running and on the same network). Once you’ve done that it loads all your music (artists, albums, songs, playlists and associated artwork), then just select what you want to play and/or start queuing selections for playback.
