Hi

I wonder if anyone can tell me how to change the port setting for the web remote plugin.
I did have this working earlier, (yesterday) but when I tried to use MJB (today) I got an error: "failed to bind, try a different port". At this point MJB hangs and I have to terminate the process and delet the plugin dll in the plugin directory before it will start again.
Any suggestion as to what might be causing this and how to get around it?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry
I just noticed I should have posted this to plugin section

No, that's our plugin.  The question belongs here.

2 ways to change the port...

If you can find what's using the current port and stop it, you can start web remote then select it from the navigation tree and change the port in the right window.

Otherwise, you can change the port by editing the "Port" value at the following registry key...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JRiver\Music Exchange\1.0\Media Jukebox\Plugins\Interface\Web Remote\Settings

Hi JimH
I saw your posted reply to someone else with a similar problem, suggesting it may be a port issue. The default port used by int_remote being 80 and clashing with something else using that port.
You suggest to disable web remote long enough to get MJB going and changing the port in MJ.
I can not seem to locate where/how to change the port  setting in MJ. I presume you are not refering to the port settings (manual / auto) for media server?
Can you point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.

I can not seem to locate the service using port 80
I tried closing everything that might be using any ports, but no luck

I tried to do this via regedit setting the value in that directory to 85, but it did not work...
MJB still hangs and I have to rename int_remote.dll to get it to work.
Thanks for the help anyway.

Was MJ stopped when you changed the registry?

Is port 85 actually free?   You can do a "netstat -an" and see what ports are in use.

MJ was stopped and I have since changed the value of (default) in regedit to 145.
I did a netstat -an at the command prompt and strangely enough port on tha machine's IP address does not show up as being in use!!
It shows a bunch of other ports in use - mostly on time_wait. These are numbers ranging from :139 to :1124 but not :80.
I have another pc running MJB with web remote, and that works fine, I can get to it with my browser over the lan.
Oh well, just keeping looking I guess

Thanks again
