Has anyone been able to connect to or control their Ouya XBMC installation through the JSON-RPC protocol? The reason I'm asking is because I want to use the Control4 XBMC driver found here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128714
It's written to interface with XBMC using JSON-RPC. I've attempted to telnet to my Ouya box on port 9090 but it's refusing the connection. My guess is that the Android OS is configured with port 9090 closed despite having XBMC side loaded.
To test this, I've installed the official XBMC remote app for iOS on my iPhone. This app will control XBMC by either HTTP or JSON-RPC. The remote app controls it just fine but I was able to confirm that it's strictly controlling it using HTTP rather than JSON-RPC.
I guess the main question is, how do I open port 9090 on the Ouya? I should also point out that I do have the "allow XBMC to be controlled by a program on another computer" feature found in the services section in settings.
A symptom I'm seeing also is that sometimes I'll get an error message saying something like, "Remote Control Server failed to start." or something like that when I enable that setting in services.
I'm running the recommended XBMC Gotham Alpha 1 build.
