Permissions:

Setup:
- On Kodi, go under System > Settings > Services > Webserver
- Enable "Allow control of Kodi via HTTP, leave the port as default or set it to something else (if you know what you're doing). Write down the port number.
- Username and password are optional
- Right click on the 'Play to Kodi' icon and select 'Options'

Great extension. One thing to note is that if you do restrict the extension's website access, you need to go into the Manage Extensions window and ADD your kodi system's ip address to the exceptions otherwise the extension won't be able to communicate with Kodi if you just use the default allow youtube.com option that pops by default on Chrome. |

Works well for YouTube. Needs to add more support for other websites... i.e. Bitchute, Rumble, Odessee, Banned.Video, Vimeo etc. |
