Setup Instructions:
1. In Kodi, navigate to System -> Settings -> Services.
2. 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: This usually indicates that the option “Allow programs on other systems to control Kodi” has not been enabled in Kodi. For more information, please visit 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: To view your music and video files, you must enable the library function within Kodi and scan your media files into the library.
* By default, the application uses a “local” queue for music playback: This offers a very flexible queuing system but has some limitations. You cannot control music playback from multiple remotes simultaneously (preventing accidental queue clearing by other family members), and skipping songs using a hardware remote control may not work since only one song is in the Kodi queue. The unlocked version offers a feature to use the Kodi queue to bypass these limitations.
* Playlists are not visible: In Kodi, playlists must be located in a designated folder. See http://wiki.XBMC.org/index.php?title=Playlists for more information.
* Streaming music/video is not working: This may be due to the absence of a source created in Kodi (sources.xml). Some Kodi versions (e.g., Raspberry Pi) allow scraping of media files without adding a source. Kodi only permits downloading/streaming media defined within a source. If you're unsure, seek guidance in the Kodi forum.
