Trying to get it working #40

Hello, Firstly, wow, I am so grateful to you for your ingenuity in creating this. I've been using Slingboxes for nearly 20 years and I cannot imagine life without them, I've been trying to get this working but the VLC player just has a yellow box flashing backwards and forwards then throws an error message. I guess I've not configured the config.ini correctly. I'm a bit confused about the ports for the server and the slingbox. Should they be the same?

Version : 3.07 Running on Windows-10-10.0.19043-SP0 pid= 5804 Using config file config.ini Connection Manager Running on port 5201 with 10 max streams.... Streamer Running: 10 config.ini 5201 starting up on port 5201 Checking for slingbox at ('192.168.1.12', 5201) ('192.168.1.12', 5201) OK Using slingbox at ('192.168.1.12', 5201) Streamer: Slingbox 350 Waiting for first stream, flushing any IR requests that arrive while not connected to slingbox Reading Custom Remote definition from remote.txt

Register Successful

Any thoughts?

the server port in your config.ini does not need to be the same, I suggest making it something different, but if you try to open http://192.168.1.29:5202/slingbox in VLC does that not work? the player should be connecting to the machine that is running this code not the slingbox.

You can configure any port you like. I just picked 8080 as the default for the server. This is the port VLC connects to. I think it will be confusing to use the same port number as the slingbox but you can do it if you want.

SO yes, VLC connects to the IIP address/port where the server is running not the slingbox.

The logs you posted look good. But I don't see any connection request coming in to stream the video. Point VLC to http://192.168.1.29:5201/slingbox
