Works on localhost, but not other devices...

Hi! Thank you in advance for your time!

I have been spending the last couple of days trying to get this all set up and while I have made progress, I'm stuck right now.

I have an HDHomeRun with an OTA antenna attached that is plugged into my router and a desktop PC that is also plugged into the router. I have the NextPVR add-on working very well in XBMC on my desktop.

I also have an android box running XBMC for my second TV, but I have been unable to get the NextPVR add-on to work. It is connected through wifi to my router. I used my desktop to do a google search for "what is my IP" and find out what my IP address is and then used that in the configuration of the NextPVR add-on on my android box, but I keep getting messages that say "connection lost" and "no PVR clients started".

I have disabled the firewall on both my desktop PC and my router.

I've also tried going to http://localhost:8866 on my desktop and it brings me to a NextPVR page, but when I try going to http://myipaddress:8866, the page is not found so I think NextPVR is having some kind of problem hosting the server side of it.

In the 'Clients' settings, I have the boxes checked to enable web server and allow remote access and I have left the port at 8866 and haven't touched the pin/username/password.

Does anyone have any ideas of things that I could try in order to get this to work? Thanks!

You need to use your local LAN IP that you need the one your router assigns http://lifehacker.com/5833108/how-to-fin...ip-address. Better yet create a static IP for your Window PC your local one can change.

Thanks Martin! It worked!

The silly part is that I even tried changing the IP in the configuration to 192.168.0.1 but I needed to change it to 192.168.0.10
