I accessed my router and there is no port rule for 8080. That is the port I've assigned in XBMC and when I type my IP with 8080 I get into XBMC but it doesnt have its own port forwarding rule.

Here is my rule page of the router:

Then I suppose you need to choose the custom port option and define the 8080 there. For test purpose temporary you can also define the address of your htpc machine in the DMZ host. To see if that works.

Thanks as always for the reply,

So to set up the port use TCP or UDP or both?

To get the library working you need TCP 8080, for the remote control part UDP 9777

Library works as it has since I set it up the first time a day or so ago. The remote not at all. I appreciate the reply but port forwarding 9777 didnt work.

Without a remote that works reliably this is really just television artwork. The display is beautiful but the work-ability is just not there, my wife thinks I'm insane as I've spent days in this chair tweaking and cant get the whole thing to work together.

Maybe back to WD TV, not elegant looking but it works.

New to the Android Remote, and I have a question.

How do I set up XBMC to have the Remote app control more than 1 XBMC instance ??

Is it just a case of changing the PORT number in Network Settings, or do I have to change the EventServer port ??

I have set up multiple instances in the app, but can't have 2 XBMC instances running at the same time with same port number, even though the IP addresses are different, as if I select one instance, the videos play on the other instance.

TIA.

EDIT: OK, no worries - I changed the username in XBMC and now I can switch between 2 instances.

If there are any better options, please reply though.

Great work guys!

Everything works as it should, but I having banner display issues on my Toshiba Thrive (Android v3.2.1). The first couple of banners display normally, but then they get squished to the left side (landscape or portrait mode).

Any tips/ideas please?

Is there any tablet support coming 4 next version?
Would be nice to have a gui that used bigger screens.
