Hi again,

I enabled remote control port on mythfrontend, but I did not think about 
a very basic condition: I use a desktop computer without wireless card, 
so it cannot work. Right?

I shall try again with a laptop with wireless card.

Or can it work with the external ip address when the smartphone is 
connected to pc by cable ? I shall try anyway.
