In short

Hi   I'ver have XBMC work with JSON now for a few weeks. I just went in and changed the port number for web from 80 — Staff replied: “If you're using a custom port like that, the XBMC device can be added to Roomie using the Manual IP option. Select Add Device, enter the IP and custom port number, and select Media Player->XBMC->JSON.”

Hi

 

I'ver have XBMC work with JSON now for a few weeks. I just went in and changed the port number for web from 80 to 8083 in XBMC.

Now, obviously, the roomie remote cannot talk to the XBMC system. I had a few other json apps talking to XBMC, and had to change the ip to 192.168.1.16:8083

How do I set the port in Roomie? Right now, my switcher switches to XBMC but allcommand I try to send show RED

Thanks!

If you're using a custom port like that, the XBMC device can be added to Roomie using the Manual IP option. Select Add Device, enter the IP and custom port number, and select Media Player->XBMC->JSON.

Thank you.
