Raspberry Kodi as TV backend (server) and Windows Kodi as TV frontend (client)

Hi 

I downloaded the latest Kodi yesterday and installed it on my Raspberry.  With a USB DVB-T TV tuner. Am using VDR as the backend service and VDR/VNSI as the front end.  It works well.

However on my Windows PC with Kodi I want to be able to access the Raspberry TV tuner service simply by also using the VDR/VNSI client - getting the source off the Raspberry. Is this not possible? 

I used to do this with TVHeadEnd but it does not seem to be available with Kodi 17. 

Anyone with any ideas?  (How do I access the log and paste it here?)

Thanks!
