Full Version: Solved problem when running XBMC and VLC remotes

I had a problem that after weeks / months of correct operation, my XBMC remote on Android (Galaxy ACE) was getting a "GetSystemInfo(120)" or something similar when trying to control XBMC from the remote app on the phone. It turned out that I was running VLC remote from the phone at same time to test playing of mp4 files through XBMC on Windows (other thread on this).

I found the problem by following suggestion from a wiki entry to input http://<pc ip address>:8080 into the phone's browser (Opera). 8080 is XBMC default ip port number for remote control. 8080 is also the default port number used by VLC remote. So the XBMC commands were being sent to the VLC application running on PC. I just changed XBMC remote port number on both the phone and on XBMC running on PC to 8888 and now remote can connect to and control XBMC application on PC.
