I have discovered a small issue when using the official android remote
Xbmc version Frodo RC1
Remote version 0.9.0 revision 900
Symptoms
Error message popup "unable to start json server" when starting xbmc
Steps taken
Start xbmc and enable remote server
Connect to xbmc with android remote - everything works perfectly
Hit power button on official remote ( to see what it does )
Xbmc quits back to front row - excellent
Start xbmc again
JSON error message appears
What I have found is that you have to shut down the android remote before starting xbmc. Then everything works fine when starting xbmc
Debug log shows nothing of great interest except the single line
ERROR: JSONRPC Server: Failed to bind server socket
It appears that between them the remote and server are not playing quite right together. Guess that maybe xbmc isn't closing the port quite right or something in the remote is tying it up despite the closure. However I figured it might get better exposure in this forum
