You’re sitting on your couch, browsing the web on your laptop. Some music would be nice, but you don’t really want to put down your laptop, pick up the remote, and browse your music collection with your TV remote.

您坐在沙发上，在笔记本电脑上浏览网页。 可以听一些音乐，但您并不是真的不想放下笔记本电脑，拿起遥控器并使用电视遥控器浏览音乐收藏。

Happily, there’s a better way. One of Kodi’s built-in features lets you explore your entire media collection, even your add-ons, using the browser on your laptop. With it, you can start playing a TV show on your Kodi box without putting down your laptop and picking up the remote. You can even stream to your music right in your browser, which is great if you don’t have all of your music on your laptop.

幸运的是，有更好的方法。 Kodi的内置功能之一，使您可以使用笔记本电脑上的浏览器浏览整个媒体集，甚至包括附件。 有了它，您就可以开始在Kodi盒子上播放电视节目，而无需放下笔记本电脑并拿起遥控器。 您甚至可以直接在浏览器中流式播放音乐，如果笔记本电脑上没有所有音乐，那会很棒。

A previously third-party add-on named Chorus is now part of Kodi itself, and this beautiful HTML5 interface couldn’t be easier to enable and use. Let’s get started.

以前名为“ Chorus”的第三方附加组件现在已成为Kodi的一部分，这个漂亮HTML5界面启用和使用起来再容易不过了。 让我们开始吧。

如何启用和访问Kodi的HTTP Web界面 (How to Enable and Access Kodi’s HTTP Web Interface)

To get started, you need to enable Kodi’s remote control feature. On the home screen, click the Settings button, which the gear at top-left.

首先，您需要启用Kodi的远程控制功能。 在主屏幕上，单击设置按钮，该按钮位于左上方。

Next, head to “Service settings,” as seen here.

接下来，转到“服务设置”，如此处所示。

Head to the Control tab, and you’ll see the option to allow remote control via HTTP.

转到“控制”选项卡，您将看到允许通过HTTP进行远程控制的选项。

You can set a custom port number, but the default will work fine. You can also choose a username and password, if you’d like to lock this thing down a little bit. The “Web interface” option should, by default, say “Kodi web interface – Chrous2,” but might be different if you’ve changed your web interface in the past. Make sure you set this to the default, assuming you want to try the new default interface.

您可以设置自定义端口号，但是默认设置可以正常工作。 如果您想将其锁定一点，也可以选择用户名和密码。 默认情况下，“ Web界面”选项应显示为“ Kodi Web界面– Chrous2”，但是如果您过去更改过Web界面，则可能会有所不同。 假设要尝试新的默认界面，请确保将其设置为默认值。

Now that you’ve turned it on, you can access this web interface from any computer on your network. Open your browser and, the address bar, type the IP address for your media center, followed by a colon, followed by the port. For example, if your Kodi box’s IP address is 192.168.1.10, and your port is set to 8080 , you need to type 192.168.1.10:8080. Like this:

现在您已将其打开，您可以从网络上的任何计算机访问此Web界面。 打开浏览器，然后在地址栏上键入媒体中心的IP地址，然后输入冒号，然后输入端口。 例如，如果您的Kodi框的IP地址为192.168.1.10 ，并且端口设置为8080 ，则需要输入192.168.1.10:8080 。 像这样：

If you don’t know the IP address for your Kodi setup, you can find it within Kodi itself. From the Settings screen head to System Information > Network and you’ll see all of your network information, including the IP Address. We recommend you set your router to use static IP addresses, so that this IP address doesn’t change on you later.

如果您不知道Kodi设置的IP地址，则可以在Kodi本身中找到它。 从“设置”屏幕头转到“系统信息”>“网络”，您将看到所有网络信息，包括IP地址。 我们建议您将路由器设置为使用静态IP地址，以使该IP地址以后不会更改。

Once you set a static IP, feel free to bookmark this site for future use.

设置静态IP后，请随时为该站点添加书签以供将来使用。

如何从Web界面浏览媒体收藏夹和加载项 (How to Browse Your Media Collection and Add-ons from the Web Interface)

The Kodi web interface basically acts as a remote control for your media center. See those icons on the left? Hover over them to find out what they do.

Kodi Web界面基本上充当媒体中心的遥控器。 看到左边的那些图标了吗？ 将鼠标悬停在他们身上以了解他们在做什么。

Each icon more or less represents a type of media in Kodi itself. For example, you can browse your TV Shows.

每个图标或多或少代表着Kodi本身的一种媒体类型。 例如，您可以浏览电视节目。

Hover over any show’s cover and hit the Play button; the entire series will start playing on your media center. Alternatively, you can click the cover itself to browse episodes, or queue the entire show to play after what you’re watching right now.

将鼠标悬停在任何节目的封面上，然后点击播放按钮； 整个系列将开始在您的媒体中心播放。 或者，您可以单击封面本身来浏览剧集，也可以将整个节目排成一排，以观看当前的节目。

You can quickly create a playlist for your evening this way, all without interrupting what’s on your TV right now.

这样一来，您就可以快速创建一个晚上的播放列表，而无需中断电视上的播放。

Speaking of TV: if you’ve set up your PVR with Kodi, you can use Chorus to quickly check what’s on, and even fire up a particular channel on your media center.

说到电视：如果您已使用Kodi设置了PVR ，则可以使用Chorus快速查看正在播放的内容，甚至可以启动媒体中心上的特定频道。

There are also sections for your movies and TV shows, if you want to browse those.

如果要浏览电影和电视节目，也有一些部分。

You can even browse your add-ons completely from your browser.

您甚至可以完全从浏览器浏览加载项。

You can browse the complete contents of an add-on, making it possible to browse various everything and queue up a playlist of videos to watch later.

您可以浏览附加组件的全部内容，从而可以浏览各种内容并排队播放视频的播放列表，以便以后观看。

This is all really just getting started: I’m sure there’s no end of uses you can think of for all this access. But there’s one key feature we haven’t even gotten to yet.

这一切实际上才刚刚开始：我敢肯定，对于所有这些访问，您都不会想到任何用途。 但是有一个关键功能我们还没有实现。

通过网络流式传输Kodi音乐 (Streaming Your Kodi Music Over Your Network)

When you first start this browser interface, you’ll notice there are three main panels.

首次启动此浏览器界面时，您会注意到有三个主面板。

Let’s focus on the panel to the right. It has two tabs: “Kodi” and “Local.” Open the “Local” tab, and you can start building a playlist of music to play right there in your browser—streaming from your Kodi media center to the computer in front of you.

让我们关注右侧的面板。 它有两个标签：“科迪”和“本地”。 打开“本地”选项卡，您可以开始构建音乐的播放列表，以在浏览器中直接播放-从Kodi媒体中心流向您面前的计算机。

If the panel is open, just click any album or song. Note that this works only for audio files: you can’t play videos from Kodi in your browser over the network. It also doesn’t work for music add-ons in our tests, though if you want Pandora in your browser, it’s probably simpler to just open Pandora in your browser.

如果面板打开，则只需单击任何专辑或歌曲。 请注意，这仅适用于音频文件：您无法通过网络在浏览器中播放来自Kodi的视频。 在我们的测试中，它也不适用于音乐插件，但是，如果您希望在浏览器中使用Pandora，则在浏览器中打开Pandora可能会更简单。

This feature is by no means a replacement for something like Plex, which lets you stream your media collection from anywhere. But if you just want a quick way to play your music collection on a Chromebook or phone, this couldn’t be simpler to set up.

此功能绝不是Plex之类的东西的替代，它使您可以从任何地方流式传输媒体收藏。 但是，如果您只是想要一种快速的方法来在Chromebook或手机上播放音乐收藏，那么设置起来就不会那么简单。
