I recently got a new Sony Blu-ray player with built-in Wi-Fi. I downloaded the associated Sony Media Remote app for my Android, and got it to work correctly with the player.
My only beef is that the app is said to work only over Wi-Fi. Leaving the Wi-Fi on my phone turned on really eats up battery, so I want to be able to control the player over the cell network.
I'm thinking this should be as simple as port forwarding from my router to the player's local IP, but I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about which port(s) this app uses.
Has anyone else tried (& possibly been successful) at this? Or know of where this information might be listed?

It's not specific to that Android app because I could just as well be trying to develop my own desktop application to do the same thing, and I'd still need to know port information. Nonetheless, I'll flag it for moderation. – istrasci Feb 16 '12 at 21:34
