@Trench: Uh, that seems like a skin issue to me. Does this happen while browsing the lib on your phone or while using the phone as remote control? Try changing the skin to PM.HD, if the problem persits please open a ticket.

It only happens when using my android as remote control. I do think it only happens with transparancy skin. But I'll have to test it this evening/week. Yesterday it happens 2times in 2minutes. But after that it didnt happen untill I went to bed. So no really consistancy Btw, why do you think it is a skin issue? If that's the case I could ask this question in that subforum.


Thanks for your reply

On the computer, OS:
Windows Server 2008 R2 X64
XBMC: Camelot Alpha2

User Tip:
Make sure to allow incoming traffic through the firewall to your PC on ports 8080 and 9777 before getting too frustrated!

TO DEV(s):
Thanks for this amazing app!

Hi,

I'm getting a bit frustraded here.. Looks like i cannot get a connection with xbmc anymore since i updated to xbmc alpha2 and latest xbmc remote.

I checked the ports which XBMC should listen to with lsof (linux):

xbmc.bin 3029 xbmc 24u IPv4 12878 0t0 UDP *:9777
xbmc.bin 3029 xbmc 34u IPv4 12885 0t0 TCP *:9090 (LISTEN)

However, when i try to connect it states that i should check my settings and retry. How can i check what's going wrong? Is there some logging somewhere?

I was getting an error message that read something about a socket error. This was a popup that only occured on the first attempt after changing settings on the remote. That is what led me to realise my firewall was blocking this traffic. I am not sure about error logging.

Is it possible to get XBMC to send a message on the wifi when it starts, like "hey, im ready now" and get this app listen to whatever that port is? That way theres no need to manual connect when the PC and xbmc starts.

I'm not sure if anyone else got the problem. But when I'm listening to a song and I want to pause it. XBMC every time crashes. I got a HTC Hero and I'm running XBMC 24195 on windows. My errorlog:

Sure, it is possible. Grab the XBMC source code and implement it

@Trench:
Is does this happen with your transparency skin? Your error has nothing to do with the remote. Switch to PM3 and try it again.
