xjson.connect.cantconnect

[JoshK]

have been using voxcommandSP with XBMC 12.3 successfully for some time, however only to send events from vc to xbmc, not vice versa.

Although I can successfuly send commands to xbmc, I can't seem to receive notifications from xbmc.

everytime I run xjson.connect it cannot connect.

when I go into the xjson plugin options and test the connection it is successful.
vc and xbmc are running on the same machine.

could anyone offer some troubleshooting advice?

In your xJson plugin settings you should check "Subscribe to notifications on port:" and next to that you must use the *correct* port.

The default value for this is 9090 so this is what you should use unless you have used advanced settings to change it.  See: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=JSON-RPC_API#TCP

As explained in the XBMC installation wiki you also need to enable "remote control" in XBMC settings
