If i am correct the message about no Xbmc servers has already been fixed or should be removed in an update somewhere over the weekend. Are you on the lastest version of HTPC Manager?

You can tell HtpcManager to run on a different port by using the commandline parameters as described in the install guide.

Try a random port. See this example to run htpc manager on port 9057:

Code:

pyhon Htpc.py --port 9057

I am using the latest Htpc Manager master available today/yesterday. I have already tried this command on my own, to set port to some other value but no luck. I would post a new log but it is all the same, nothing new there. If it is any help, after fiddling with port assignments, the window that opens after I try running Htpc Manager, no longer closes on its own but sits there with error message (last line in a log) showing until I close it manually.

If the terminal window is open and nothing shows up, this probably means Htpc Manager is running as it should be! You just need to access the app with your browser.

The error Saying No Xbmc servers can be ignored. This does not affect the way HTPC Manager starts.
In your posted log, the last lines only show the xbmc error, and no longer the message about a port being not free. Are you sure it is still not working?

There is also a debug option that might give you some more information

Just to be sure, if you have changed your port to (for example) 9875, in your browser also include this port in the url, so point your browser to http://localhost:9875

step1: Run "python Htpc.py --port 9875"
step2: in your browser go to "http://localhost:9875/"
if this does not work
step3: Run "python Htpc.py --port 9876 --debug" (changed port, just to be sure)
step4: in your browser go to "http://localhost:9876/"

Update:
Turns out the only reason for the window to remain open after exec attempt was because I was running "maraschino" , after I turned it off, window disappears right after exec attempt. There are no new lines in log, apart from :": modules.xbmc :: ERROR :: Unable to find any XBMC-Servers. Please check your settings" with a recent date. I have tried the steps listed above, nothing. I have dbl checked install step by step, everything checks out, python itself works. (no problems during install).

Update2:

Re-downloaded Htpc and replaced dir, now when I load it the window stays around with the error showing. Logs are the same http://pastebin.com/xfdzeJCK . Steps above didn't help.
