I keep getting the error "Socket Timeout" "Make sure xbmc webserver is enabled and xbmc is running" I have the correct IP/Port number. Named the device. Username is xbmc. And in xbmc I checked both Network>Settings "Allow control of XBMC via HTTP" and "Allow programs on this system to control XBMC" and "Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC" what am I missing?
if you are running a recent nightly, the explanation is that the http api has been removed.
The official andriod remote needs to be changed to use json.
Alternative: yatse, which does already work
Im using Eden... just want the easiest way to make my phone control xbmc...how can I do this?
Also...how to I make sure my phone is "connected to my pc via wifi" or whatever? Also, Ive heard talks of making sure your firewall has "open ports" or something? I dont even know how to view/change settings on my firewall etc...can someone walk me through this please?
Without os information hard to help
For the test you should just open an navigator on your phone and browse to
http://ip:port and see if you have the Xbmc webinterface showing or not
