Description of problem: Rhythmbox (build-in) Web Remote plugin is not working over Network. After entering the access-key (on client), the button on the right side does work but nothing habppens. There is no error message, it just doesn't work. I don't know if it has something to do with javascript? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhythmbox-3.4.2-1.fc27.x86_64 firefox-57.0-2.fc27.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Activate the plugin in Rhythmbox (Server) 2. Go to the Website and enter the password in Firefox (Client/Linux) 3. Nothing happens Actual results: Expected results: After entering the password, the client should be "logged-in". Additional info: It works locally (on Server).
The same issue on M$ Windows with Firefox and Chrome.
Point to note: It is a webremote ( not a web player yet, which it would be sometime ) plugin, which means it controls the music played in a remote machine, and not stream music from remote to local machine. So, when you click 'play' does it play in the server ?

I can't even log-in: Enter access key; Press '>'. Nothing happens.
Works fine here. Attach output of "rhythmbox -D remote" here.

Looks like the client and server machines have time difference ( > 60 secs ). Are they synced ?
Thank You very much for this useful information. After changing the time, it works.
