Hi Guys,
I've tried a few guides, though I can't seem to find any official guide, but I'm having problems getting the remote part of the app to work. I can view my media library on my phone and start playing a clip, but if I go to "Remote Control" none of the buttons work.
Can anyone help?

It says that I should enable my event server, but I can't find how to do that. I'm sorry I'm asking really obvious questions, I've gone to the wiki on the event server, but it has a configuration menu that I can't seem tfind.
Btw, I'm using windows 7 version

Its under Settings\Network and it called
"Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC"
you will have to enable the one above it for it to become active

We'll probably have to update the Wiki with Confluence so people don't get irritated.

I am having this issue.
I have disabled my firewall and enabled both "Allow..." options under network.
I can playback via libraries and can even use the progess bar to scroll forward and backwards during playback.
But none of the remote key functions are working.
I am using XBMC Pre-10.5 r32027.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm having the same problem. I can navigate a video that's already playing, but I can't navigate or use any remote features. When I setup the remote it said it couldn't contact the event server. The server is active and I verified it through the http API, but the remote app doesn't work.

The remote apparently doesn't work and isn't supported anymore. I've been fighting with this event server problem since Dharma and it persists in Eden. Someone either needs to update the FAQ or stop directing people to outdated information.

A semi fix is to set the port under Allow control of XBMC via HTTP to 9777. It still says it failed to mute XBMC although it doesn't fail. Oddly enough for something that uses mute as a test I couldn't find a way to unmute it from the remote.

got it to work and feel like an idiot
had originally set port to 80 then changed it to 8080 and seems to work fine now.
thought there was no volume control but I can use my cell volume to control it.
