Hi everyone,

After spending the last 5 hours trying to get aMPdroid to work I´m at the end of my tether, so I´m hoping you can help me sort it out.

I cannot, under any circumstances, get a connection to Mediaportal from aMPdroid - when I try to use the remote I get the message "Remote Not Connected". If I try anything else I´m given the option to send WOL packets to wake up the server.

I´ve followed the instructions to install everything and I can connect to the GMA webservice from my browser. I downloaded the WifiRemote demo client and ran it (on the same machine as Mediaportal as I don´t have another computer here) and I can connect without problems.

Initially I tried to set up the client in aMPdroid using the QR Scan but that didn´t work, so I´ve tried configuring manually but that doesn´t work either. I´ve tried opening ports 8017 & 4321 on my router (but as the Wifiremote demo client works without the ports being open I don´t think this is the problem), using/not using authentification, disabling Bonjour (I don´t have this installed), using the computer IP address instead of "localhost", etc. but nothing seems to work.

I´m running Windows 7, Mediaportal 1.1.3.0 and Android 2.1 on a Samsung Galaxy Portal (called a "Spica" outside the UK I believe).

Any help would be much appreciated before my computer & phone take flying lessons!!!

Thanks
