[QUOTE="MarkW, post: 864021, member: 123346"] Just a purely informational post, in case someone is googling for the same problem I had where I couldn't connect to WiFiRemote: WIFIRemote wasn't working for me at all since I installed it two days ago. I couldn't even connect using the DemoClient (the DemoClient didn't see the service, and trying to connect manually also failed). I checked the MediaPortal.log and saw WIFIRemote starting up with the Bonjour service and saying that it was accepting connections, but... nope, it wasn't! Neither was I able to connect using aMPdroid. The solution (for me) was to remove Hauppauge IR.exe and HCW.exe (first by renaming them, then by uninstalling the Hauppauge Infrared Remote completely.) For whatever reason, HCWHelper was crashing (after every load of MP) trying to work with HCW, and that in turn was affecting WiFiRemote. Now that I can use aMPDroid as my remote control, I don't need the Hauppauge IR remote anymore anyway, so... :-) Still having problems with certain types of streams from MP, but that's an issue for another thread. Anyway, hopefully this is useful for anyone who comes across it in their searches! [/QUOTE]
