[Android] aMPdroid 0.7 - Android Remote Control (3 Viewers)

[UNOPARATOR]

You can also redirect your local ip to your external ip in Android hosts file I think that would work

Or maybe in the future aMPdroid would allow us to specify 2 (one internal, one external) ip addresses for each host in settings

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...

Solved!
It was a matter of changing the opened port in the firewall settings...

Works great now, thanks!

You can vote for this feature: a second (external) Host (IP) ... / General forum / aMPdroid

Currently, the interrest seems rather low...

I closed this thread now, please use the new aMPdroid 0.8 thread for further discussions....
