Unable to save ServerWMC IP/Name or ServerWMC Port

[zedox 1]

As topic title dictates, I have tried in Chrome, IE and Firefox.

 

Whenever I change the serverwmc ip/name field from localhost to that of the server and click Save, the settings simply do not get saved!

 

Is this a known issue? I've done some searching on the forums but can't find a solution

 

Thanks in advance!

Appears the settings will not save if a connection cannot be made.

 

Seems the firewall rules ServerWMC creates when installed were not enough

Even though the default port 9080 is being used I had to manually create a rule to allow it through

 

On top of this emby does not give any error or popup that the settings are not saving because of a connection issue.

Very un-user friendly

Sorry, in the next release, live tv is going to be quite a bit easier. It is possible the plugin configuration page is swallowing the error without presenting a message. krustyreturns will have to comment.

It's true that the plugin won't change to the new settings if they result in a connection error.  But I don't get why the manual install of the firewall rule for port 9080 was required.  My guess is that when serverwmc was first ran and it tried to open the port listener, windows should have asked if that was okay, and you replied 'no'

I have the same issues however my firewall ports are open (I can telnet) and when I look at the log on the serverwmc pc I get this
