Hi guys - I'd love to use xpTunes but I can not get it to run. can not figure out why.
Since so many people here seem to have had good luck running it, maybe you can help?
Here is what I did, please tell me what I am doing wrong.
1) uninstalled Media Jukebox 12 ( i only play music, so that's what i used)
2) installed MC V14.0.50 (trial)
3) set MC to run remote server on port 80
4) restarted MC
5) ran xpTunes from the uzipped folder (xpTunes2.zip)
6) left xpTunes on auto - it inserted the laptop IP address. Set port to 8080. xpTunes window says "settings loaded"
I cannot connect from this laptop or any other computer on the network (they do share files)
Tried IP address or computer name followed by :80
http://192.168.123:80 or
http://mylaptop:80No connection with xpTunes running or not running.
Also tried ports 8080 and 8082 in xpTunes and MC14. No connection. Restarted windoze, no connection
So how do I know the remote server is running on MC14? Why can't I connect to xpTunes? Have I missed a step, done something wrong?
Do MC and xpTunes need to be set to the same port? Different ports?
WinXP pro. Firefox or Opera browser. Firewall set to allow xpTunes on different ports.
Any ideas or help are most welcome! I've tried all I know.
Thanks.
