until you get JSONRPC interface working, Yatse won't work. this log entry means, JSONRPC server can't bind to server port (by default 8080 as per webserver port setting). what you have to check is:

1) your httpproxyport is set to a port higher than 1024 (otherwise XBMC running under unprivileged user can't bind to it). you can do

Terminal

grep -i <httpproxyport> /home/xbian/.xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml

to check this

2) when XBMC will start, no other program/service can be bound to the port from 1). this you can check with

Code:

sudo fuser [portnumber_from_1)]/tcp
(e.g. sudo fuser 8080/tcp)

when XBMC is STOPPED. if you get empty output, it is ok. if you get listing as this

Terminal

root@xbian05:~# fuser 8080/tcp
8080/tcp: 2245
root@xbian05:~#

is wrong as process with PID 2245 is already using that port

3) XBMC webserver is set to start. you will see record like this in xbmc.log

Terminal

01:06:30 T:3041677856 NOTICE: WebServer: Started the webserver

4) after start of XBMC "fuser ……" command used in step 2) should return PID of "xbmc.bin" process what you can check with:

Terminal

root@xbian05:~# fuser 8080/tcp
8080/tcp: 2245
oot@xbian05:~# ps aux | grep 2245
xbian 2245 54.0 28.8 263544 35840 ? R<sl 01:01 9:06 /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin --standalone -fs --lircdev /run/lirc/lircd

5) you can access http://my_rpi_ip_address:8080/jsonrpc from browser on any other PC on your local network
