the best practice to check the connection is entering the http://<router ip>:8080 into the browser on your phone. If you do not get the web interface of the xbmc then you have something misconfigured in your router or in apple tv

I have no problem in using remote app through home wifi, but I want to control my apple tv xbmc on my phone via 3G or through internet without using my home wifi.

rocks91; that case you need to enter 80 as port number in the remote control settings
ykhehra1; that is why you need to use the external address received from the internet provider

Thanks for the reply gfoldv,
I've got it connected, or sort of. I can access the music and movies but the remote doesnt work. I disabled the firewall and still nothing.
I hate this W7 64 bit machine, everything is a struggle to network to it.

Then I suppose you need to choose the custom port option and define the 8080 there. For test purpose temporary you can also define the address of your htpc machine in the DMZ host. To see if that works.

Thanks as always for the reply,
So to set up the port use TCP or UDP or both?

To get the library working you need TCP 8080, for the remote control part UDP 9777

Library works as it has since I set it up the first time a day or so ago. The remote not at all. I appreciate the reply but port forwarding 9777 didnt work.
Without a remote that works reliably this is really just television artwork. The display is beautiful but the work-ability is just not there, my wife thinks I'm insane as I've spent days in this chair tweaking and cant get the whole thing to work together.
Maybe back to WD TV, not elegant looking but it works.

New to the Android Remote, and I have a question.
How do I set up XBMC to have the Remote app control more than 1 XBMC instance ??
Is it just a case of changing the PORT number in Network Settings, or do I have to change the EventServer port ??
I have set up multiple instances in the app, but can't have 2 XBMC instances running at the same time with same port number, even though the IP addresses are different, as if I select one instance, the videos play on the other instance.
TIA.
EDIT: OK, no worries - I changed the username in XBMC and now I can switch between 2 instances.
If there are any better options, please reply though.

Great work guys!
Everything works as it should, but I having banner display issues on my Toshiba Thrive (Android v3.2.1). The first couple of banners display normally, but then they get squished to the left side (landscape or portrait mode).
Any tips/ideas please?

Thank you for working on this.
