You may need to go into Settings -> Network and tell it to allow remote apps/machines to control XBMC

Yeah that is already ticked, not sure what else it could be

[Bram77]

Didi you enter the correct username and password? It's been so long since I've coded for this, that I can't remember if it'll work if not credentials are required.

[Mrkennedy]

my username is xbmc/xbmc tried with and without

[Bram77]

I'm guessing there is something really obvious going on, so obvious you're not seeing it. If you're on the same lan with your PC and the ip address and credentials are correct, it xbmcontrol should simply connect. I never had any problems with that and can't recall anyone else having trouble connecting.

Could it be a firewall is spoiling the party, or maybe a port forward in your router?

[Mrkennedy]

I'll go and double check everything

[Kabooga]

Make sure the port is included in the ip address.

ex: 192.168.1.122:80


Bram77,
I'm thinking of adding the JSON RPC API support (as it is so far) to XBMControl. Do you have any thoughts or reservations about this?


Cheers,
Kabooga

[Bram77]

That would be great kabooga! I have no reservations whatsoever. I wish I had the time myself. One thing that can surely be improved in XbmControl is the way it behaves when communication is lost or slow. This will probably improve anyway because of the new api

Now works, thank you.

Is there a button to update my library?

hi there.
I run this program on Windows 7 /32bit

The program always works fine the first time executing it, but the second time it executes it always crashes. It then always crashes. However if I copy the .exe to a new location/dir it works again once. It pops up with configuration alternatives and when configured, it works.

what can be the cause of this strange behaviour? where is the config stored?

[claygorman]

I am having this same issue. Windows 7 64 Bit

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate
OS Version: 6.1.7600 N/A Build 7600
OS Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
OS Configuration: Standalone Workstation
OS Build Type: Multiprocessor Free

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

This is what happens the second time i run the build




Hopefully this will provide some insight

Same problem here but I'm on Win7 64bit.
Used XBMControl v0.4.7 Setup.exe to install.

When I try to run XBMC Control I get a popup box about the app unable to run with the details:
