In order for multi-scrobbler to communicate with Kodi you must have the [Web Interface](https://kodi.wiki/view/Web_interface) enabled. This can be done in the Kodi GUI:
* Settings -> Services -> Control
* Check `Allow remote control via HTTP`
* Ensure you have a **Username** and **Password** set, you will need to provide them in the ENV/File configuration below.
### URL
The URL used to connect to Kodi, set in your [file config as `url`.](#configuration) The URL used to connect ultimately must be formed like this:
```
Syntax => [protocol]://[hostname]:[port]/[path]
Default => http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc
```
If any part of this URL is missing multi-scrobbler will use a default value. This also means that if any part of your URL is **not** standard you must explicitly define it.
:::tip[Kodi Settings]
* Make sure the port number matches what is found in **Port** in the Control section mentioned above.
* If your installation is on the same machine but you cannot connect using `localhost` try `0.0.0.0` instead.
