From inside XBMC, go to "Settings" -> "Network" and turn on ALL of the following options (WARNING: Some skins apparently hide a few of these, so change to default skin if you don't see these, than you can change back when you are done):If you have multiple machines/devices with XBMC on your network, make sure they have a unique name for "Device Name" and a unique Port (both on the Network Settings Screen). You can use the same username/password. Once you have set the above options, on the iPad/iPhone open Safari or another browser and try to go http://XBMCIP:Port (example: http://192.168.1.2:8080) and you should be asked for the username/password if you set them (which is recommended). After the page comes up properly from your iDevice, open Constellation and set up the host again as you saw in the YouTube video. If you still can not view XBMC's web interface from your device there is possibly a network/router issue that you'll have to work out with someone more familiar with the Live Distro.
- Allow Control of XBMC via HTTP
- Allow Programs On This System To Control XBMC
- Allow Programs On Other Systems To Control XBMC
Thanks for the advice....it was a router issue. The XBMC machine was on my guest network that can only access the web and not the internal network. The remote works now but the update library buttons do nothing. I have to navigate through the folders to find my media.
