If it worked, showed everyone I was online last night but didn't deliver the messages to me until I opened it...

Worked for me fine.

Anyone use Steam friends app?

Just downloaded the Gun Bros app. It needs an additional 100Mb!?! wat?

That's a huge amount for a mobile game.

Out of curiousity, those with N64roid, how much storage does each game take? Quite tempted

N64 ROMs can be in the 10's of MBs I think.

new winamp update is really nice, a lot of small touches have definately gone along way.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a freeview tv guide app, i.e one that can be filtered to freeview only and doesn't use the sky channel numbers?

/agree. Sync options are handy and make for a nice total solution.

Ok I was wrong about ebuddy, once screen goes off it stops notifying, rubbish.

My collection ranges from 4MB to 65MB so quite manageable

Has anyone got VLC Remote working?

Been trying for a few evenings now with no luck, can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

What port does it use? your firewall might be blocking it.

Microwave · 16 Mar 2011 at 20:52

8080 and yeah...quite possibly.

The first step to getting it working is the web interface - I should be able to access that using the ip of my pc with the port 192.168.x.x:8080 but that won't load.

Does that suggest a firewall / port forwarding issue?

My wife said I was insane getting them. I might just do the same to her.

mrk · 16 Mar 2011 at 20:56

The web interface will only load if VLC is running of course! Also make sure no other service is using that port, it might cause a problem. But yeah I forwarded 8080 on mine for SABnzb and 13579 (custom) for Media Player Classic Web Interface and they work fine!

Microwave · 16 Mar 2011 at 20:58

Of course! What do you take me for

Ok cool, I'll try forwarding that.
