- Short answer:
On some cases there’s bug in Kodi with IPV6.
Kodi only listen to IPV6 and forget IPV4. You can disable IPV6 on your host to fix that if you do not use it.
- Long answer:
During test, Yatse auto check the option since 90% of users do not read the doc and do not check it
Event ghost use Event Server on localhost so depends on another settings that normally only binds to localhost IPV4. When enabling the option “allow control from applications on others system” , Kodi binds on all interface but enable IPV6 if available and on your device fails to bind IPV4 on some devices so that breaks EventGhost too.
I think Kodi 18 may have some fix about that, but easy solution is really to remove IPV6 from your device if you do not use it, as it’s a pure Kodi bug.
