Yatse: Kodi remote control and cast is the primary remote companion for Kodi systems. On a desktop, it shifts from a mobile convenience into a permanent control station: one you can leave open alongside your web browser, chat windows, or media player. The app combines intuitive navigation with advanced features that make longer viewing sessions and deeper library management practical and comfortable at your computer.

Core Remote Functions at Your Fingertips

The app provides full keyboard and mouse control over Kodi playback, library browsing, and settings. On PC, this precision input replaces touch gestures, making it easier to:

  1. Navigate your Kodi library with advanced sorting, filtering, and global search from your keyboard
  2. Control playback, subtitles, audio streams, and video quality without reaching for another device
  3. Manage server connections and switch between Kodi, Plex, and Emby instances smoothly
  4. Execute custom commands and access AV receiver volume control directly from the desktop interface
  5. Synchronize downloaded media offline and cast it to compatible devices on your network

Desktop Integration and Persistent Access

Running Yatse: Kodi remote control and cast on your computer keeps your media setup connected during work sessions. The app stays logged in and ready (no phone picking up and unlocking required) letting you pause playback, adjust settings, or queue new content without breaking focus. Multiple device support means you manage Kodi on one PC, Plex on another, and Emby elsewhere, all from the same organized interface. Notifications and lockscreen controls remain useful even as a background window on your desktop.

Casting and Media Streaming Between Devices

The app handles bidirectional casting: stream Kodi, Plex, or Emby media to your Android device, Chromecast, FireTV, Roku, or Smart TV, or cast phone media back to Kodi. On Windows or Mac, this becomes a workflow tool. You can queue a video from your computer to play on your living room screen, download shows for offline viewing when traveling, and restore your setup across machines using cloud save. Support for UPnP and AirPlay broadens compatibility across your home network.

Long-Term Reliability and Support

Yatse: Kodi remote control and cast has received monthly updates and developer support for over a decade. Users report the app remains stable through major Kodi and Android releases, and recent updates have extended compatibility to Jellyfin and other media servers. The developer actively replies to feedback and maintains compatibility with modern hardware, rendering it a dependable Kodi configuration tool that improves rather than stagnates.
