What is meant by 'remote control'

Quote:the service and everything is disabled again.

Have you had this experience?

No, I'm using Kodi Leia for months on 3 Pi's (2x Pi1, 1x Pi3 and 1x Pi3B+)

In this setting page: Kodi Remote Control when i go to enable the last option: "Allow remote control from applications on other systems", so i can use Yatse from my cellular phone, i get the error that says that "Remote Communications Server" failed to start

I'll enable detailed logs, and try again to see what I get

Ok, understood. I get same error on fresh install, but on my regular installations everything is ok. Have to inspect deeper tomorrow what's wrong there

My last test for today/tonight: I replaced all services.* settings in file /home/xbian/.kodi/userdata/guisettins.xml from a working installation and voila, remote control is enabled and seems to work
