Impossible to connect to XBMC server
#1
Hello all,

I have installed XBMC release Eden on my computer and XMBC remote for android on my tablet. I am able to pass the test :http://192.168.0.100:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetSystemInfo(120;121) from my computer and from my tablet.
I am also able to acess to the XBMC web interface through :http://192.168.0.100:8080/ BUT :
- I can' display any music from the web interface (the clock timer is searching forewer)
- From the XBMC remote application I get the following error : failed to connect ... isConnected failed : EHOSTUNREACH.

It seems it a network problem but I do not understand why I am able to connect to the web server...

Any idea to help ?

I have the same problem right now.
Got the latest version of the app, worked like a charm before but right now, when trying to connect using both my tablet and my phone get the same error:
I use 12.2 of xbmc and I am able to access the server from other computers on the network.

When trying to connect to the server using the app I get:
I/O Exception (java.net.SocketException)
failed to connect to /192.168.1.13 (port 8080) after 5000 ms:
isConnected failed: EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)

Any clues what to do?

Best regards
Hickin

Are you sure your xbmc computer is still at the IP address 192.168.1.13 ?
--- In your router setup, confirm your xbmc build is at that ip address. Also, if you've not already done it, enable DHCP reservation for your xbmc computer to .13

Have you reset your settings in xbmc?
--- Settings > Services > Webserver > port, and username/password
--- > Remote Control > allow programs on other systems to control xbmc

Delete the XBMC host from the remote and start fresh.
