Important : Unlike other XBMC remote Foxmote relies on the XBMC's JSON-RPC API for communication with XBMC. Unfortunately for some users this may lead to conflicts with existing applications (see Incompatibility list). If you are concerned by this issue you will have to change the TCP port on which XBMC is listening to incoming JSON-RPC calls. This can be achieved like that :

- Create the file advancedsettings.xml (see XBMC wiki http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsettings.xml)
- Once created copy the following content in the file



false
9093



- Restart XBMC
- Configure Foxmote to use the TCP port number 9093

Incompatibility list: Foxmote may not be working as expected if one of the following applications is installed on the computer running XBMC

-McAfee Web Gateway,
-Openfire,
-Logitech Media Server (Squeezebox)
-Cherokee
-Secure Web
-WebSM
-Webwasher
