krapo · **Localhost instead of my IP -** 12-23-2006, 06:06 AM

Hi,

The software looks great, i can't wait to try it, but i can't get to make it work properly.

I run linux, and when i launch the mediacenter, the messages in the console say my ip is "localhost". From my pc, i can access the mediacenter typing http://localhost:8192 but not when y replace "localhost" by my ip. It doesn't work from the wii either.

Can anyone help?

localhost represents the computers address that you are currently on. So if your Wii understand localhost then your Wii would be trying to find that page on your Wii.

Im not up on Linux but you need to find out how to get your IP on the computer you are hosting Media Center with. In windows you can go to the command prompt and type ipconfig, in Linux? Try Google.com to search for Linux get my IP address. Im sure its easy enough to get.

Good luck

Thanks for answering.
In fact i know my ip address, and if y replace "localhost" with it, i can't access the mediacenter, even from the pc running it.
And i read somewhere than the program was supposed to indicate the ip address, and here it doesn't, it just says "localhost" instead. I'm not sure if this is normal.

are you adding the :8192 at the end of your IP?

There were issues with IP detection under Linux. please see our blog post about version 0.92:

Ok that's exactly the kind of info i was looking for, thanks!
Now, "Linux users: WiiMCX cannot detect the computer's actual IP address properly due to a "feature" of Java. You must find out your IP and manually add it to the webserver.prop file in order to override WiiMCX's IP detection feature."
What should i type exactly in webserver.prop? Something like "ip=192.168.0.15"?

I'll test this when I get home, but I'm fairly sure you just set line 2:

IP=192.168.1.101

Or whatever your ip is.

Maybe you must open your ports 8192 in your router.

Thanks for your answers, but i've opened the port and i've tried "ip=".

The wierd thing is thai i've changed the value of the port in the file, for testing purposes, and it didn't change when i launched the app.

Anyway, what i need right now is the exact syntax to tell the program what my ip is.
