Streaming remotely

Quote from unibiggle

All sorted now. Updated to bh 2.0.1 and openwebif had all options set them up and still didn't work. Turns out my dydns address wasn't working so signed up for free ip and worked straight away. Thanks for you help musogeek, though I feel I was annoying you with so many questions toward the end!:p

Hi,

I would also be grateful if you could provide more info on how you set this up as I am also having some trouble with dyndns. Where did you get the free ip?

Thanks.

Thanks master G. I'll try that by the weekend. Hopefully that will sort my problem. Cheers.

Has anybody found a guide to transcode the stream? I have set up the dns and port forwarding in my router and I can connect to my box no problem but I just don't have the bandwidth to stream a picture. Does anybody know if there is a guide or a plug in to do this?

Yes I read that. I may try and set my pc up as a vlc server and see if I can get that working. It's all good fun having a play around :confused::D

Managed to get this working using my pc to transcode the stream. Working on 3g and Wi-Fi away from home. :) results are very stable and picture quality is acceptable. You can adjust quality but I think it depends how good your upload is.

Yeah as master g says get a free host name from there. Make sure your ports are forwarded correctly on your router. Which router and isp do you use? Are you in the UK? Give me a shout if you need help. Will try and do a step by step guide if I get time if it would help people.

Switch off your Wi-Fi on your phone and stream over 3g. This is the way I tested mine out :thumbup:

Unless you can upload at 6-7mbps this won't work as you are trying to stream the picture at the full bandwidth and even then your download speed may not be enough. You need to transcode the stream to make it something that can stream over the web. The guide is here in this thread somewhere

I also have the slingbox app downloaded but that picks the picture up ok.

It can be done with an app called dreamstreamoid. You need to use your pc as a vlc server which will transcode the stream and open 3 ports on your router. Full instructions are on the app developers website. I have currently got this working so it can definitely be done.
