You mean the unclean edges? Yeah I will try to get them fixed...

Please redirect all further discussions to the new aMPdroid 0.8 thread.

Re: How to install aMPdroid 0.6 and backend services

This is a great app. Finally got it working right and I'm loving it. Thanks for all your hard work.

Here's something I can't figure out;
And if I'm connected to the Wifi at home everything works fine. In the ampdroid app I type in my local ip (192.168.x.x) and everything works.
If I'm outside my network and I try to connect remotely things don't work...
I'm using No-IP - Dynamic DNS, Static DNS for Your Dynamic IP to get a host name instead of an ip.

So if I try http://[myhostname]:44321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetSupportedFunctions everything works fine but through the app, I type my host name in the configuration and I get a "Remote connection couldn't be established" error.

Any tips?

Thanks.

As far as I read in here before (sorry can't give you reference link), Android has issues with using hostnames. So that's probably the reason behind what you're experiencing...

I don't think Android is the issue. I'm also using torrentFU to control uTorrent remotely and I use the same hostname there and it works just fine. Same goes for Android Remote Notifier which also works fine with hostnames.

So It's either ampdroid's fault or I'm doing something wrong...

The link is wrong for one, it's "http://[myhostname]:4321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetServiceDescription" now (see wiki). Links (and port) have changed with the latest version. I think dns entries should work fine, what doesn't work well in Android is resolving local network names (dhcp names).

Ok, I feel like I'm making progress:

This works fine:
http://192.168.x.x:4321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetServiceDescription

This does not:
http://[outside-IP]:4321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetServiceDescription

This is all from the browser, not from the android app.

This now feels like a problem with the router directing the port to the HTPC, however the port is routed just fine in the router's config...

Ideas will be highly appreciated...

Using your external IP never works in your own network, only outside of it. So you've to use your internal IP for WiFi and you external one for when you're on 3g or someone else's WiFi.

Of course I'm talking about using the external IP from outside the network.
This doesn't work.

This (from the local network) works fine:
http://192.168.x.x:4321/GmaWebServic...iceDescription

This (from outside the network) does not:
http://[outside-IP]:4321/GmaWebS...iceDescription


Thanks!
