Remote Part Doesn't work

Which port settings?

Everything is checked off as it should be in XBMC itself. Turned off firewall in Windows 7.

Only thing I haven't tried is messing with the port-forwarding on my router.

This is weird, i have my remote setup on 2 XBMC's, one is working great, the other is not, the remote it self will not work even though i've checked all ports like a gazillion time, my firewall etc, but another random xbmc remote works fine on both machines...

@ icarus-i meant make sure the port set in the remote matches the port in xbmc network settings

I actually had the same issue with my xbmc android remote app (remote part not working) and just managed to fix it:
I uninstalled the app, then deleted a xbmc folder on my android phone and reinstalled the app.
After configuration everything worked.

I guess a thorough wipe of xbmc fixes issues...

Sorry to hijack the thread and this might be a stupid question but why can't the remote be configured to work via Bluetooth?

On my mac mini the keyboard I use is Bluetooth so XBMC must support this?

Again sorry if this is a daft question but this would surely reduce the errors in operation

I have the same problem, and it is most definitely not user error.

Windows firewall is turned off, and both boxes are checked. I unchecked the boxes, restrarted, rechecked the boxes, and restarted. The remote buttons worked. I paused the video and left. When I came back a few hours later, the remote buttons were no longer working, but everything else worked.

Just in case anyone else still runs into this. My issue turned out to be that I had the UNofficial app installed by accident.

After uninstalling it and installing the "official XBMC remote" app, everything just worked.

The icon images are the same in the Android app store.
