Setup guide for XBMC Android remote

ladiferencia Wrote:I had a lot of trouble but finally realized it was the Windows Firewall. I had to check the box to allow XBMC through the firewall. I didn't need port forwarding or anything else. It is just a matter of troubleshooting one thing at a time. I wish success for all that are still trying.

I've spent a hour or two trying different things with my set-up and this was the key to getting the remote to connect, thanks!

Perhaps this should be added to the guide for those running XBMC under Windows with the Windows firewall turned on? And/or added to the Wiki page?

XBMC remote give this error

I set up according to Post 1.
I have Windows Firewall disabled.

Version: v0.8.5-beta1 (Revision 730)
Phone: HTC Wildfire A3333 (Android 2.2.1)

Cant figure out what the problem is.
Thanks for any tips

I SOLVED IT !
I was using Edimax as universal Repeater, after connect directly by my Netgear router, issue disappear.

Cheers !

I tried installing this on my rooted Nook Color, but it keeps telling me to set up host for it in settings, but then presents me a blank setting page w/ no options

Is there no Menu button on the Nook Color?

As soon as I open the app, I get " Click on settings or use the menu in order to add an XBMC host or IP address to your config".(close or Settings)
I click Settings, and get " No hosts defined in order to add hosts, press "Menu" and choose Add hosts" (close) This leaves me on a settings page under XBMC Hosts that has no options to allow me to do anything. All I can see is the Back button, which doesn't work either
My Nook Color is rooted using manual nooter 4.5.18 for 1.2.0, so even though I can access the full Market, perhaps this isn't considered a "real" Android install to allow the remote to function?

Anyone else out there getting this to work on a rooted NC?

I think someone has already complained about it. As the Nook was intended to be an eBook reader lacks the hardware Menu and Back buttons. I do not own a device but as I know people managed to configure the volume buttons to do the same functionality.
The request to have a soft menu button in the Android Remote has been already addressed, solution is coming.

I can run Softkeys on it, for a back button, but yeah haven't found a way to access hardware settings. I ran Gingerbread on it via SD card for a few days, but didn't want to commit to a full write over at this time Perhaps once I get brave enough to do the full install...thanks.

I'm running CyanogenMod 7.0.3 (stable) on my nook color and the xbmc remote runs great!

OK, so that confirms kinda what I was thinking, that I'll need a full Android OS running on it to get it werkin'
