Zeroconf – auto discovery

If you receive a warning 'Failed to start zeroconf' consider installing a Zeroconf service for your operating system. This will allow the iPhone to find the Kodi host on its name. If it is a Windows Desktop/Laptop I suggest you install iTunes. To learn more about Zeroconf, Bonjour and auto-discovery of a service for the various operating systems Zeroconf : read more here....
