Set up
In the settings pane:
 * 1) Fill in the correct ip-address of the computer you're running XBMC on.
 * 2) If necessary, change the port number. This widget now uses the WebSocket, NOT the HTTP port! Usually, this value should be kept at default (9090).
 * 3) In XBMC: Finally, do not forget to enable "Allow programs on other systems to control XBMC" in "System settings> Services > Remote control"
