Thank you for your thoughtful and helpful approach to my problem.<br>
<br>
I had read elsewhere about the insecure issue requiring ports to be<br>
under 1024 and had already tried that, so my problem still exists.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if you saw my follow up earlier in the thread where I had<br>
asked if any users had managed to connect from an Android device? As<br>
I'm looking to connect from a range of devices I'd really rather try<br>
to get the Kodi client working the way it is supposed to be rather<br>
then hacking a different workaround solution. Asking on this user<br>
list is the most likely place to find people using Kodi with a<br>
mythbackend in a working environment, thus the questions? I'm truly<br>
sorry if you find it inappropriate, however I think honestly you're<br>
wrong.<br>
<br>
Have a good weekend.<br>
