    Using Kodi on PC to stream content to E2 box?

    Hi,

    The KodiDirect plugin is very buggy and crashes a lot. So I'm wondering if there is some way to do the following:

    • Using Kodi on laptop stream content from web and play on laptop.
    • Set the Kodi interface to stream across my network to specific E2 device (E2 box IP address)
    • Using E2 receiver and plugin (e.g.VLC) view the streamed content coming from Kodi on the laptop.

    I think this is possible using VLC to VKC (laptop to E2) but maybe I'm wrong and E2 receiver can only stream from a network file server.

    Hopefully someone can advise?

    Hi,
    try the uPnP-Renderer CoCy this can be controlled by other devices for instance a smartphone/tablet using BubbleuPnP. I think also the windows media player can use the box as a device to show videos. I am not sure about Kodi but I have my doubts as it is intended as a player not controller.

    ciao
