What Ports Are Needed #511

Closed shawnh7 closed 1 year ago

shawnh7 commented 1 year ago

All, I just got the slinger working on a Le Potato- thanks Gerry! However, it won't work with the ufw firewall enabled, and I'd like to use a firewall for security. Can anyone tell me which ports need to be allowed through the firewall to make slinger functional? I've already allowed the port I set in config.ini? Thank you.

GerryDazoo commented 1 year ago

You may have to open the slingbox ports but I'd be surprised. All you should need to open is the [SERVER] port.

shawnh7 commented 1 year ago

Thanks for replying, Gerry. I opened my [SERVER] port as well as 5001, and 5301 and as soon as I connect with VLC, I get this: **------------------- _Streamer: "Rec Room" Waiting for first stream, flushing any IR requests that arrive while not connected to slingbox 01/27/2023, 20:54:11 Streaming connection from ('192.168.1.9', 60546)

It works fine if ufw is disabled.

Here are the ports I have blocked in/out to my slingbox and it has been working just fine. Everything else is open.

Please post ALL the server output. The server tries to verify the slingbox is accessible when it starts up, so there will be some clues there. I concur. you've got something wrong with your firewall settings.

PS. It has been determined that all you need to block is TCP port 5678 outgoing from your slingbox to prevent bricking.

I was able to get this to work by allowing the slingbox IP through the ufw firewall. In case it helps other though, here's the full server output., with redactions for passwords, global IP, etc. without the firewall mod.

Error connecting to ('192.168.1.223', 5201) No valid slingbox ip info found in config.ini. This is your first clue.
Can't find a slingbox on network. Please make sure it's plugged in and connected . Check config.ini This is your second clue. There are no slingboxes on your LAN. [Errno 113] No route to host This is your third clue. Your slingbox IP is not on the same subnet as your server and there is no route to get packets from the server to the slingbox.

I though you got this working?

PS. You can unconfigure your FinderID, support for this is going away in the next release.

PPS. Using slingbox at ('192.168.1.223', 5201) Hmm, the code should have given up when it couldn't find any slingboxes and the initial connectivity check failed. Probably a bug in my code. I'll take a look.

shawnh7 commented 1 year ago

Thanks, Gerry. The snippet I posted is from before I set the IP allow on the firewall. With the firewall configured, I still get the "No valid slingbox" but then it searches and finds it and it works. This is what it looks like working:

I'm OK now running it like this with the IP exception in the UFW firewall. Just posting in case this helps others.

Since RPi's are scarce and costly, this is a good addition. I just ordered one. Could you give some rough steps to get it going? Thanks!

GerryDazoo commented 1 year ago

You should fix your config.ini to use the correct IP address and port for your slingbox Slingbox Found 192.168.1.10 5315

You can use a raspbian-stretch image for it or use (my preference) an Ubuntu image such as Here . Just make sure it is for the s905x and use an image writer to write it to sdcard. Then it runs off sdcard. You can then ssh into it like any server or use a display and keyboard.

shawnh7 commented 1 year ago

For Le Potato setup, I used the Armbian image here: https://libre.computer/downloads/aml-s905x-cc/ and the youtube tutorial:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-d2zoc-UAuA

From there, Gerry's directions in the readme for linux worked fine.

Will do- thanks.
