SYBU for Kodi - FAQ and Questions

This has been reported by several users and seems to affect various Apps.

Try either of the following:

Option 1: Uninstall and reinstall the App

Option 2: Set the "Offload App" in iOS settings. ( Settings > Storage > Sybu Kodi > Offload App)

On Kodi v17 on Android it seems that Zeroconf configuration option has been removed from Kodi Android distributions.

This include devices like the Amazon Fire Tv, Fire TV Stick, etc

This effective prevents the remote from autodiscovering the Kodi device.

On the Sybu Remote, on the Setup screen, you will manually need to enter the IP address in the hostname field, for the remote to connect to Kodi device.

See Setup instructions

Yes, this is supported in SYBU for Kodi v3 and later

Update to V3 - to resolve this issue.

Previous answer : for Sybu for Kodi v2

Apple has made significant changes to networking in iOS 10.2 and now restricts the automatic detection of a MAC address. This address is required to for Wake-on-LAN. As of iOS 10.2, the Sybu App cannot correctly determine this address (you will notice it will display 02:00:00:00:00:00 - which is incorrect) and it will not wake-up the device.

All Apps are restricted from using this functionality. However I have noticed an App called 'Fing' that for the moment still manages to automatically find it correctly. It also has a feature for Wake-On-Lan. You can consider to download and use it to wake the device.

We are working on an update, that will allow for manual setup of the MAC address, which will resolve the issue.

Read my more detail comments here on Zeroconf for Linux, Ubuntu and Windows.

It is software from Apple that allow for discovery of computers and devices on the network by its name and allows for ZeroConf (zero configuration of network setup) It is typically already installed on Apple computers, and on Windows computers that have iTunes installed. If you want the Remote Control to automatic discover a Windows (that does not already have iTunes installed ) or an Ubuntu computer then install it, otherwise don't use automatic host discovery on the remote control and just set the IP address.
