XBMC Remote for Android

StarChild Wrote:@b00sted4fun: To enable the eventserver in 9.11 you must enable "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC" and "Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC".

ah, ya that is 100% done and verified. I have reinstalled xbmc, os and the apk a few times w/ no avial.

ok.. and it still doesn't work?

When you say "remote". Do you mean the remote part of the app or the hole app?

Try to temporary disable your firewall to see if something is blocking it.

it worked back on 9.04 so I dont think it is a firewall issue but I did attempt to disable my hardware firewall with no avil. the browse for tv works fine so I can launch videos and move the slider to ffd and rew the video but the actual remote apparently hate my gut

Ok, in that case the only suggestion I could give you is to check your port and network again.

Don't you have a software firewall? What OS are you using?

EDIT: eventserver port is 9777 by default

b00sted4fun, follow these steps and it should work for you no problem.

1. Make sure you have XBMC for android installed on your phone
2. Make sure you have WIFI enabled and you are connected to your home network

3. Open up your XBMC and navigate to Settings, System, Network (might not be in that same order, but you can find Network in your Settings Menu)
4. Check these options:
-Allow Control of XBMC via HTTP (Set port to 8080. Username and password can be whatever you would like)(Android phone auto capitalizes the username though, so make sure to use all caps in XBMC itself when setting it.)
-Allow Programs on this system to control XBMC
-Allow Programs on other systems to control XBMC

5. Open up XBMC for Andorid and click on Menu-->Settings, if it doesnt pop up automatically. Then click menu --> Add Host
-Name of this Instance [Put whatever you would like]
-Host or IP Address [Enter computers IP Address]
-HTTP API Port [8080]
-Username [Whatever you used to setup earlier in XBMC]
-Password [Whatever you used to setup earlier in XBMC]

6. Id recommened restarting both XBMC and XBMC for android. Load XBMC first though, then XBMC for android

That should get it all working for you. That's what i did and it works fine for me and I'm running Camelot 9.11 also. Otherwise if you can't get it, hit me up and I can help you figure it out.

DonnyP: Again, do you mind me stealing it and putting it into the wiki?

No man, go right ahead. Don't mind at all. That's why i made it, to help others out.

I'd be all for helping out with the wiki and adding stuff to it as I come across it. More I can do to help, I will.

I really like this app, great work! Everything works perfect except one thing. When i move the phone around it jumps back and forth in the movie? Like when you move the trackball (im using a HTC Magic) I don't know if it's the accelerometer or the trackball that activates this? Maybe the trackball is very sensitive, if that's the case an option to disable the trackball would be very nice. Please contact me if you need help with testing.

Thank you.

Is it hopping back and forth to the -nearly- same points in the movie?
