What devices are you installing kodi on?

That doesn’t sound like a normal error to.instaling kodi… almost looks like you are doing something different? Remote access to a device? Installing from USB?

Sounds like an error with kodi being installed on the thumb drive.

I bet if you installed on your device it work. Make sure the thumb drive is installed correctly.

Tried to download direct to fire stick…bypassed thumb drive…still had same error on startup…very weird…tried other versions …maybe I’ll try a factory reset of fire stick?

Force close all background apps and try again. You might have another app trying to use the same port. Also try updating ResolveURL

I started getting this message a couple of days ago. using Kodi 20.3 on a firestick pro max.

“remote communication server failed to start”

I haven’t added anything new to either the firestick or Kodi. This message just started out of the blue.

As far as I can tell, it’s not affecting anything. Fen, Seren, and Crew all seem to work just fine.

Thanks

I’ve seen this in the past where this was a result of a RealDebrid sub having run out.

I think it’s time for everybody to dump your Fire stick unless you like the free stuff . If you have the money Nvidia Shield Pro . If you are broke a Onn box works great .

I threw the 2 Onn 4K boxes I bought onto the garbage. Wouldn’t wish them on anybody. I gave up on 4K Max for one reason only, Amazon has lost their focus and control has become their mantra. Are there products good, absolutely.

Finally found a solution for “remote communication server failed to start”

goto settings > services > control and toggle off “allow remote control from applications on this system.”

Thanks! I had a work around but I’m glad I understand now what was happening
