Ok, so web-interface check doesn't do anything at all.

Check if you can access the webinterface from the xbmc box itself using a browser.
Once that works you have to find out where in your network setup the communication gets blocked. You may have different ip ranges in your wifi network and wired network and maybe there is a NAT between the networks. It's probably not the app causing your problem.

Cheers - figured it out in the end. You're right, it wasn't the app - it was my firewall! Where I'd introduced the wifi-extender, the PC was treating it as a new network and so defaulted to the 'public' firewall settings thus blocking it - bloody thing! Quite why it worked fine for the first week or so is beyond me though!
Thanks for the pointers though, they did help a lot getting to the bottom of it!

Hi,
first of all, your app is amazing - by far the best I've seen for xbmc. Thank you very much for making it.
That said, I seem to be having a problem similar to the one a few others have mentioned - the queued songs playback stops after one song played.
Now, I've read through the whole thread, and have tried almost everything, and I have now pinned down the issue somewhat:
the queue plays just fine when the phone (a nexus 4, running JB 4.2.1, if it matters) is active - i.e. the Music Pump app is running in the foreground/background, and the phone is not locked. When it is locked, however, playback stops after each song.
I have closed every possible app on the PC that could interfere with port 9090, and made sure that WiFi stays on when the phone is idle (both via the phone's settings, and a couple of third party apps), but I just can't figure it out.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the reply,
I was using a frodo build (rc 3), but I have now installed a stable eden release, and the problem persists. Although I'm not sure whether I need to do anything besides uninstalling frodo and installing eden (maybe deleting some cache files?).
The play/pause icon changes fine, until the first time the playback stops. So say I turned on the app, then added a few songs to the queue. If I leave the phone unlocked, and press the play/pause button, the icon changes, and it works just fine. Then, if I lock the device, after the song finishes playing, nothing happens. If I unlock the phone, and open Music Pump, the play/pause icon doesn't respond, the playing icon in the queue is positioned near the previous song, and if I go into "Now Playing", I also see the previous song, with the timer at it's end. If I restart Music Pump, all returns to normal (until. of course, the next time).
Regarding the network issues - I have read through the thread, and looked into the wifi problem, but I don't think there is one. I have a continuous ping reply when I lock the device, and all other notifications (whatsapp, emails etc.) seem to be working just fine - the wifi does not get turned off.
Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the amazing app!
I have upgraded to the full version and am having a small issue with the "airplay" feature. As I am listening to a song, on my phone from the XBMC server on my Desktop, my screen locks, and everything is okay for a couple of minutes, and then everything stops.
What I think is happening, is that my phone drops the wifi connection after it has been locked. I don't know if this is something the app can control: keeping the wifi open doesn't seem super likely, but maybe it can keep the phone from locking itself? I don't know that much about the capabilities of an app in this regard. Maybe its something only my phone can deal with. I have an LG optimus one.
Thanks for any help you can give!!!

Hmm. I do not have Yatse installed on my phone. Maybe if I do an update for my Android that will help, I think it has been a while.
Any other suggestions on which apps are hogging audio focus? Is there any way for me to figure that out for myself ? (sorry, I don't know that much about logging and stuff on the android.)
Thanks a lot!

It's relatively difficult to detect problems with audio focus but music or video apps could cause problems. The problem could also be caused by other things like bad wifi signal causing your device to shortly disconnect/reconnect...
Just as a test: Have you tried to set your screen always on in the android settings to see if the music stream still stops after a while?

I have the problem that after every song it stops playing. im using a raspberry pi without firewall so so port 9090 cant be blocked. any other solutions? i think problem could be cause of the wlan connection which stops when display is off although in settings keeping alive is activated. any ideas?

Yatse gets flagged too without reason
perhaps because of using the same libs ?
They did answer me and said that they have corrected the problems with the last update from today. (The fastest way to get answer was from inside app contact part)
