Problems with remote access & streaming

[abollmeyer]

Hello,

I have set up NPVR on a WHS 2011 box and, after breezing through the setup, have become frustrated at the remote web access portion. Here's what I've done so far:

1) Forwarded port 8866 on my router.
2) Opened up port 8866 on my firewall, and allowed exceptions the NRecord.exe and NPVR.exe.
3) Attempted to follow the wiki, but it seems it's outdated maybe? There are no options for VLC that I can find.
4) I can connect on the local lan, but when I click "Live TV", a browser window opens and I get nothing else.
5) Remote web access using my outside IP brings me to a login screen, but I get nothing after I click log in. Again, I tried following the wiki with no luck.

Is there are an easier way to do this? Perhaps somebody could share some screenshots? I'm fairly new to NPVR, all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Adam

OK, so just using NextPVR as the backend and using XBMC as the frontend on the client seemed to resolve my issues. Although I was looking for an all-in-one solution, I did find that I love the user interface of XBMC. Thanks anyway.

Did you get everything working? You should also allow NDigitalHost.exe through the firewall.
