Well, I got it running. It looks like xbmc-potato is loading playlists etc, but when I tap on one of the control-buttons, xbmc-potato becomes unresponsive so I have to force the app.

Thanks for you works so far!

hi Trestry,
can you try to launch the app. fro xterm like so:
/opt/xbmcpot/xbmcpot

I suspect that the connection with xbmc is lost. could it be that your network connection is automatically switching to gprs or another network from which N900 is not able to reach xbmc?

can you give exact steps so I can replicate the problem?

thanks

That's the HTTP port. The app. is using TCP port. For example, on my XBMC it shows port 8080 for HTTP but I configured port 9090 in xbmc potato. Also you need to restart the app. after you configure/change any settings. Also take care to enter the IP address of xbmc not the hostname. It won't work if you set the hostname, Also, please don't set a password in xbmc because I think I haven't implemented that feature yet.

Let me know how it goes so I can improve the app.

Thanks man.
mmm strange thing to put different port between xbmc settings and potato one ..
I'll try with and without password and come back to you
thanks for the quick answer !
cheers and anyhow, keep going on man ! ^^

Hi,
The port shown on XBMC media center settings page is the HTTP port. xbmc potato is communicating over raw tcp through port 9090.

Cheers.

I've tried to run the program from the xterminal and I have the same problem.

I start xbmc-potato, and It is receiving playslists etc. But when I try to stop a song, it becomes unresponsive.

What is the output on xterm when it becomes unresponsive? Can you check which network your phone is connected to when it becomes unresponsive? Also, try to ping xbmc from your phone when it freezes. Do you get a reply?

Thank you very much Pety for this app. Works perfectly for music stored on disks but not (yet ?) for streaming like Grooveshark. I don't know if implementing this is difficult but it would be cool.

Do you plan to stay focus on music or have you some other things in mind ?
