FYI... white consumes far more battery than black on AMOLED displays, it is far better to use as much black onscreen as possible.

Well, my phone doesn't have an amoled screen (my previous one had), so I don't really mind. And, I'm not keeping my screen on all the time, it's a remote. But, that's also why I suggested to add it as a feature to be chosen by the user.

Just to confirm the plugin is properly activated right?
Connectivity issues unfortunately are not that easy to troubleshoot. If you can rule out that the firewall is blocking somehow the connections there is another thing that comes in mind. Some routers include an option that isolates the wireless clients from the rest of the local network. If this is activated the wireless client can still has the Internet but not the other clients of the local network.

Also if you have a telnet client available you could also check if the plugin listens for connections properly.

Well, I haven't thought of the router. I'll take a look in the settings, although I don't know if there's something that will make it work, since other apps are able to communicate with my pc over the network (when the firewall is disabled of course). But, I can better be sure, so I'll take a look. I'd love to get this working

Hi kelsos,

I would like to use the remote, but I can't get it to work. I have the newest MusicBee, MusicBee Remote pluging and the newest MusicBee Remote App. I have a normal Windows 7 machine and a Nexus 4 with the standard Android 4.3 rom.

The problem is; I can't connect my pc and the phone. Not by scanning and not by adding it manually. I had some problems with connecting apps to my pc in the past, because of the Eset firewall (I should whitelists some ports, but I'm too lazy ), but even when I switch the firewall off, I still can't connect...

What am I doing wrong?

Although I haven't used it yet, I have a small improvement for the app: a white theme. Quite some Android apps have an either black (what you're using now) or white theme, which can be changed by the user in the settings. I would like to see a white theme too  (Or maybe even, as some apps have, multiple themes like white, red, blue, orange etc.)

Thanks anyway, for your effor of creating the app.
