Hi
I have a Raspberry Pi running Kodi - quite successfully on the network.
I've recently bought a Sony Android TV 49X8309C, it comes with Google Play Store, so I installed Kodi - SUCCESS!!!
BUT - when I go to System -> System Info ---> Network, the IP address is unusual and different, i.e.
Sony TV IP address: 192.168.10.40
Default Gateway: 192.168.10.1
Kodi IP address: 192.168.49.1 <---- issue here!
(no gateway defined)
Primary DNS: 192.168.10.1 (same as original gateway)
SO.... The above occurs when connecting the TV via ethernet cable to the unmanaged netgear network switch.
If I connect the TV to the network via WiFi - the IP address issue is not there (but then there is an issue with connection and download speed).
I also noticed whilst typing this message - if I leave it on the system info ---> Network screen long enough, the IP address changes to the TV's ip address (192.168.10.40) for a split second before reverting back to 192.168.49.1
Please help!
I am attempting to install plugins - but I have no idea how to download the repo zip files onto the the TV storage - so I thought if I can map Kodi to one of the NAS drives, I can point it there?
Help much appreciated in advance!

I'm having the same issue; got my FTV2 and installed Kodi 15.2.... this is happening. deleted, installed SMPC 15.0... same thing. This problem is happening with Kodi 15 looks like a bug. In the FTV it's showing the correct IP, in Kodi it's showing 192.168.49.1
Seriously, I find it hard to believe that no one else beside us has this problem...

HI, am trying to see what i can do to help.
My IP address within Kodi, as reported by Kodi, is the same as the IP address as reported by the TV's OS Settings / Network status.
I've always assumed that Kodi simply displayed the TV's IP address anyway rather than securing its own - i cant imagine how or why it does that.
Even if you had some reserved DHCP space in your router, surely the MAC address is the same since it's the same hardware?
Odd, its beyond my knowledge, sorry! Good luck though

After installing KODI on Amazon Fire TV (2015 edition) I found it is not using the same IP of the fire TV. My home network is on 10.x.x.x series IP and when I install Kodi from Google play on my phone/tab, it showed the same IP of my phone/tab. But when I install Kodi on Fire TV, it got some 192.168.x.x IP. I don't know why. But the gateway and DNS are the same as my network's gateway and DNS but IP is not.
I do not have any problem with the IP as long as it works, but the problem is I cannot use Android based Remote (Yest or Kodi native remote) the web service is running on a separate IP series.
Can anyone help me to understand what is going on and how I may make it right?

If you look at the client device list on your router, does the TV show up, and if so on what IP address?
Can you make a connection to that IP address, by ping, SSH and/or SMB (depending on which services you have enabled in Kodi)?
