[Fixed in v7.1] My Movies Pro app no longer works with CMC
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2024 4:28 pm
A few years ago I created the CMC SysTray Service which, among other tasks, listens for commands sent from Binnerup's My Movies Pro Android/iOS apps. The CMC SysTray Service pretended to be a WMC service, allowing the My Movies App to start movie playback and act as a remote control.
Recently this functionality has stopped working - the My Movies App no longer connects to the CMC SysTray Service, and this applies to both the new My Movies Pro 4 and older My Movies Pro 3 app versions.
I traced the issue down to a port # change. Previously, the My Movies Pro app used port 51408 to talk to a WMC Host PC, and this has now changed to port 51414, breaking the current CMC SysTray Service which is still listening on port 51408.
I reached out to Binnerup to ask what I should do: https://www.mymovies.dk/forum.aspx?g=po ... 65𶼩
For now, the remote control feature of the My Movies Pro app is broken with CMC. I expect I'll have to code a fix for the next version. I'll update here once I know more.
