Hi, I hope that you may be able to provide a suggestion as to why my ServerWMC has stopped working. I have had ServerWMC working very well with a Windows7 version of MCE for over a year. This connects to a remote Raspberry PI running LibreELEC.
The other day the LibreElec reports that it cannot connect to ServerWMC, though connectivity exists, as I can navigate via "Video" > Files to the Windows MCE recorded TV folder and play content.
When I looked at the MCE it has a ServerWMC error message : "Unable to open a listening socket on port 9080, check your firewall settings or if this port is already in use. Restart the server after setting a new port number."
If I OK's this dialogue box then ServerWMC did not load, I could not access any of the configuration menu.
I have subsequently tried the following but still cannot get ServerWMC to run, it always get to the same error message :
1. Inspected the port allocation in Windows and this port is not listed as in use.
2. Turned of the firewall completely
3. Uninstall and reinstall ServerWMC
4. Another post mentioned a corrupt ServerWMC config file, so I also deleted the original config.xml file and contents of that folder. After reinstalling ServerWMC, I still get the same error and also note that no new config.xml has been created.
The latest ServerWMC.log is here https://pastebin.com/i8KmcGeP
I would appreciate any thoughts of what else I could try, I am unaware of any changes I have made to the main windows machine since it stopped working.
Thanks
