(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 06/22/2014 It works fine if you follow the instructions and install the plugin first. The xbmc webserver port does not matter. I have a raspberry pi with Openelec and the webserver port 80 running. The port of the playit service is set to 8100 in both systems (the xbmc plugin and the browser plugin) and it just works fine. The default port of 8181 does somehow cause problems.

J F (Floreum) (ID: 0000009b29d5b68b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 06/11/2014 DO NOT DOWNLOAD. Does nothing, and on top of that gives you ads (that adblocker blocks) Sketchy app, as I never installed it to begin with, it must have been hidden into a piece of a software I installed. It also gives you fake warning pop ups to get you to download some viruses. Proof: http://puu.sh/9pqeU/e7784382b8.png

Nico Zandberg (ID: 00000014a9e00a7b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/21/2014 Limits the ports to 8100 - 8199 so it is unusable for most
