Unable to stream outside my house...

This is my exact problem. Philly, did you figure it out?

I am port forwarding 7648 (VLC stream) , 8181 (GBPVR EWA), and Port 8080. Port 80 is also forwarded to the same machine, it has IIS installed.

So, i can connect from any computer on my LAN and stream with VLC. But from outside my network, through the router, nothing.


side question, Why in the Wiki here: http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...min#stream does it state that VLC uses 8080? that's why I port forwarded 8080 as well, but not sure what VLC uses it for.

8080 does not need to be forwarded. VLC uses 8080 by default and EWA is communicating to it directly on the server.....so the commands running on 8080 are all on the server....no need to forward from outside to inside.

Thanks. And the solution for me at least, was to downgrade the VLC player on the server from 9.x to 8.x, which can still be found on the VLC web site when you go to download a player compatible with windows 95/98 etc.

Yea....9x has issues.

Is there anyway to change this port binding of 8080? My personal webserver runs off the same port and it would be nice to run VLC streaming without having to change my entire setup.
