03 / Setup

Discovery first.
Manual when it matters.

Scan the local network for Plex Companion players and Kodi hosts. When a server hides behind a static IP, a port mapping, or HTTP credentials, add it by hand and PK Remote keeps it for next time.

  1. Local discovery for Plex and Kodi installations.
  2. Plex sign-in to look up HTPC and Companion receivers.
  3. Manual setup with host, port, and optional credentials.
  4. Saves your selected remote for the next launch.

Three steps to
the first command.

The first launch walks you through onboarding, picks a remote, and gets you to play / pause in under a minute. No account required for Kodi. Plex sign-in happens only when you ask for it.

Step 01

Pick the receiver

Choose Plex HTPC, Plex Companion, or Kodi during onboarding. The app explains which Plex apps actually accept commands.

Step 02

Find the device

Discover automatically, sign in to Plex for HTPC lookup, or punch in a host and port for Kodi JSON-RPC.

Step 03

Take control

Navigate, play, scrub, and adjust volume. The app remembers the remote for the next launch.

Receivers Plex HTPC

Plus Plex Companion players advertised by Plex Media Server when you sign in.

Protocol Kodi JSON-RPC

Any Kodi host with the JSON-RPC web server enabled on the local network.

Devices iPhone & iPad

Native SwiftUI build. No analytics SDKs. No advertising. No backend service.

Cue the movie.

PK Remote ships under its legacy App Store name, Plex & Kodi (XBMC) remote, rebuilt from the ground up in SwiftUI for current iOS releases.
