Can't find event server?

I'm using XBMC 9.11-BETA2 R25640, and I can't find the "Event Server" anywhere? I need to change some settings there for my android-remote? It's not in settings-> network anymore?

Sorry, the docs are abit confusing now. Its moved to system -> input IIRC (not at home so I can't check) and the setting is called, "allow remote control software to control xbmc" It might say something with "from over the internet" or something that tells its not the same computer

Aight! But where can I set the port? Or is it the same one used for controlling via HTTP?

Does this also mean that old settings are forgotten? My iPod remote stopped working after I updated today (my gf noticed and I'm not at home right now, so I can't check what the problem is).

Yes it means old settings are forgotten and iirc port setup should still be there, its 9777 by default.

Hmm...wonder if I have misunderstood the issue. My remote was using the http api and it stopped working when upgrading. Has that something to do with this? I'm just confused...

HTTP Web UI and the "EventServer" are two different things. HTTP is literally a web server that can be accessed by a web browser. Its the older way of doing things, and has existed in XBMC for years.

The EventServer is a newer set of functionality that, in many ways, does the same thing. However, the EventServer uses its own simple protocol to allow apps specifically written for it to talk to XBMC. There are some "remote" programs that use one, and some that use the other.

Here's the Wiki about it:

Ah, ok! Thanks for the info, I will read it later!

Btw...I noticed that the http server was in deed disabled after my update. Strange, but not too hard to fix..

I'm having the same problem as the OP. I'm trying to make the Android remote work with XBMC 9.11 (from the Jaunty PPA), but I get connection errors when attempting to connect from the phone (I've checked and double checked the settings).

I can't find any reference to the EventServer or what port number it uses in XBMC itself. However, I have tested the web interface, which is working fine.

Under System -> Input Devices, there are two check boxes, one called "Remote control sends keyboard presses" and the other is "Enable mouse" - both of which are ticked, to no avail.

EventServer is available on port 9777
