[QUOTE="Boogieman, post: 789315, member: 59549"] I have exactly the same problem as you. Opened incoming and outgoing ports in Win 7 x64 firewall [B]WIFI remote + GMA[/B] INbound rules OPEN TCP 4321, 8080, 8017 (using default port but troubleshoot said also 8080 so added that one too) OUTbound rules OPEN TCP 4321, 8080, 8017 (using default port but troubleshoot said also 8080 so added that one too) Installed GMA and is running. Installed WiFi remote and made sure it is enabled in MePo config. Did not install TV4home since i dont have a tvserver but opened port 4321 IN/OUT-bound in win7 firewall anyway since i saw that also GMA used it. Have tested with MePo running and not running. Neither remote nor shares can connect - keeps getting "remote connection couldnt be established" on every attempt Entered static IP to my wireless adapter on my HTPC Even entered the MAC-adress (it tries to wake up pc with WOL packs. but pc is allready on so obviously no connection there either) What have a missed? Went through entire troubleshooting. Didnt get the OCR-code to work even though it recognized it (after installing barcodetool) Even set the HTPC in DMZ-mode in the router firewall just to make sure it doesnt block local network connections which it shoudlnt in the first place. Tried the web-scripts from my remote pad, but got "could not find page" Server PC with MePo+GMA+WiFi remote: Win 7 x64 sp1 Remote tab: Samsung Galaxy tab 7" - froyo 2.2 Router Asus WL-500W Any ideas are helpful :) HAVE CHECKED: ----------- DONE - See the background services page for a overview of the aMPdroid communication. THIS IS MY ISSUE - No connection to service You will get this error when you try to open the media, music or tv section and your phone cannot connect to the GmaWebservice or the Tv4Home service. aMPdroid can only access your data if the background services (GmaWebservice, Tv4Home) are working properly and can be accessed through the network IT SEEMS I CAN NOT ACCESS THEM THROUGH THE NETWORK Try to access the services from your webbrowser You can test the services with your webbrowser. Make sure you test the urls below from another machine (to check if the pc can be accessed remotely) and change localhost to the actual hostname/ip-address of your htpc. You can also open these urls from the webbrowser of your mobile. GmaWebservice [url]http://localhost:4321/GmaWebService/...iceDescription[/url] on the machine, which should return something like: - LOCALHOST WORKS FINE FROM THE PC WHERE SERVICE ARE RUNNING - THOUGH FROM MY PAD IT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL WHEN CHANGING LOCALHOST TO FIXED IP OF SERVER - JUST GET "WEB PAGE NOT AVAILABLE" THIS DOES NOT WORK FROM TABLET [url]http://192.168.1.9:4321/GmaWebService/MediaAccessService/json/GetServiceDescription[/url] view sourceprint?

This will result in locked databases. - NO SUCH ERROR MESSAGE - CAN NOT EVEN CONNECT You will see a lot of errors like [insert log files here] in your MediaPortal log files. To fix this error, makes sure there are no files in your database folder that end with journal.db (if there are, delete them), then restart GmaWebService (Start -> run -> services.msc -> GmaWebService -> Restart Service). Streaming/Downloading doesn't work (all files have 0 Kb) This most likely means that GmaWebService doesn't have access to your files. GmaWebservice is started with the Local System Account, so if this User has no access rights to your media files, it can't stream them to aMPdroid. This often happens if the files are stored on a NAS (or some other remote location). To fix this, you can change the user und which the service is started: 1.go to services (start -> run -> services.msc) 2.find GmaWebservice 3.right-click -> properties 4.Log On Tab 5.and then select "This account" and enter the username/password of your account (the one that has access to your media files) - SINCE I CAN NOT CONNECT I DONT EVEN HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO GET THOSE ERRORS Remote not working If the remote functions are not working (the mepo in the lower right corner should be glowing) this means that you aren't connected (Menu->Connect) to WifiRemote.

NOT USED - TV Streaming does not work If tv streaming doesn't work, first make sure that you have installed vPlayer ([url]https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result[/url]). Unfortunately at the moment vPlayer is the only known available player that can handle the tv stream. If streaming still does not work, you can try to change the streaming endpoint in the tv server streaming section from [Auto] to the correct ip address. The problem is that the tv server per default will return an url like rtsp://myhtpc:554/stream2.0 and android seems to have a few serious bugs when it comes to resolving dhcp host names. If you select the ip address directly, tv server will return an url like rtsp://10.0.0.1:554/stream2.0. ------------ tried verification and -> admin/admin for GMA on tablet on ampdroid, but same result Otherwise it looks like an awesome app :D Regards Boogieman [/QUOTE]
