I am trying to get the Android Remote working. I followed the wiki and tried a test from the browser with:

176.0.2:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=GetSystemInfo(120;121)

where the ip address of my xbmc machine is 172.16.0.2

HTTP is enabled in xbmc. Along will allow programs to control xbmc. 8080 is set for the port in Settings.


I am getting File Not Found returned instead of the version number like it is supposed to return. Any idea of the issue?

im going to assume the ip in your example is a typo (missing the .16 as you stated in teh next line), but the "xbmchttp?" requests have been removed in favor of json requests in current builds.

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=JSON-RPC_API/v6 < frodo version.

Yes it was a typo sorry.

Sorry but I know little about json. How would I do this in json?


Would this mean the remote app won't work? Or does it simply mean the wiki needs to be updated?

Anything using httpapi will not work. If you see examples of this being used in a wiki article and there's no disclaimer on that page stating this is now obsolete, please provide a link to that page so it can be updated accordingly. Thanks.

I would still like to know how to do the test in json

Update. I really don't need json string as I am pretty sure http is running. I can control xbmc from my local browser using 127.0.0.1 but I can't connect with the ip address 176.16.0.2, the xmbc PC's IP.. Even if I try from the browser local to the xbmc.

I can ping that address both locally and from another pc on my network.


I am running Windows 7 with a NetGear router. Maybe I need to open up the firewall? Details would be greatly appreciated.

I got this working. I had to enable Private Network fo XBMC in my firewall settings.

I also got the Android remote app to work too. Very cool!.
