Hi
I've been trying to set up the remotecontrol with a Samsung Tablette (Android) without success.

I've followed the very light procedure in FAQ but on the tablet I get the message this site cannot be reached localhost refused to connect. I've checked that SOS has access through the Firewall and it access in and out.

I'm probably missing something very obvious, any ideas please

Thanks

Hi Jfm,

Instead of using localhost from the tablet, use the IP address of the computer running song of songs.

If you go to Menu > Service Controls > Remote Control Keyboard Shortcuts

You will get a list of IP address and enter that into the tablet.

for example http://192.168.0.40:8080

To test if the remote control is working, after loading a service in SOS, and while SOS is running, load a web browsers on the same computer and try http://localhost:8080

Hope that helps.

Regards,

Gordon.

Hi I've tried your suggested solution with my Android tablet. It still didn't work however it worked on the same PC.

The error messages I got were as follows:

with http://192.168.1.90:8080

"This site can't be reached
http://192.168.1.90:8080/ is un reachable
ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

and
192.168.90 took too long to respond

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

with http://localhost:8080/

localhost refused to connect

ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Hope you can help

Thanks, John

Hi John,

It looks like your firewall on the Song of Songs computer might be blocking access from the tablet, this should have been allowed when you turned enabled the web control.

You might need to add an exception to your windows firewall or disable it.

It could also be that the IP address has changed from when you checked what it was.

Regards,

Gordon.
