After installing it you must configure Kodi for being controlled by Unified Remote.

System→Service→Web Server. - Check
Allow control of Kodi via HTTP. - You can change the Port number. But it's important to configure the remote command with the same port.
Inside the folder "KodiForVideo", there is a file settings.prop. You can configure the following parameters (all values are default):
- host: localhost
- kodiPath:
%programfiles(x86)%\\Kodi\\Kodi.exe - pathForThumbnail: nothing (currently disable because of perf problem)
- playerId: none (information retrieve from Kodi)
- port: 80
