Hi all,
Has anyone been able to control xbmc (openelec / rpi in my case -> http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Installing_OpenELEC_on_Raspberry_Pi (http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Installing_OpenELEC_on_Raspberry_Pi)) with a ip remote (yatse / android in my case -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree&hl=en (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.leetzone.android.yatsewidgetfree&hl=en) )? After fiddling for a while i am able to register openelec/rpi server in yatse remote, but pressing any yatse buttons has no effect. If i replace A+ by my old router (dd-wrt based), everything works. Am i missing any firewall or port forwarding settings? Please let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions.
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
I've got openelec on my rpi and am using the "XBMC Remote" on my android phone. Once I realized that the rpi had a completely different IP address when hooked up to the A+ and correctly put that in the XBMC Remote settings, it works just fine. I did not have to make any changes on the A+ at all.
Good luck,
Brian

@bwainscott - Thanks, Brian! I will monkey around with it some more. My problem is that i can see the xmbc web server running on rpi (on the ip address assigned by a+) and can connect to it via yatse, but yatse is not able to do anything after i connect. I will try the Official XBMC Remote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote&hl=en (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.xbmc.android.remote&hl=en), maybe it's different now from last time i tried it (when it was still kind of junky)

XBMC on Windows 7 is receiving my Yatse commands from my Nexus 4 just fine, and my set up was just like yours (WRT610N with DD-WRT). Haven't done any port forwarding either. Have you looked at the XBMC and Almond+ logs? I don't know if Yatse keeps any, but you could check those too.
