Hi,
Objective: Playing recordings using the built in VLC plugin in Webif from outside my home network.
I've set up my router to port forward port 80 to the Humax box and can successfully access the Webif from a computer external to my network using Dynamic DNS from dyndns.org.
I've also set the router to port forward port 9000 so that the DLNA requests are passed through.
But: when I try to play the recording, the VLC plugin starts, but never plays the video.
Looking at the source code for the web page that contains the embedded vlc player, it calls the player with the DLNA URL of the right recording, but the URL uses the internal network IP address of the Humax box so of course, the VLC player never finds the file.
Is there any way I can specify Webif to passthrough the URL from the client that is connecting (i.e. my *.dyndns.org domain name), rather than the local IP address? Or will this need a small amount of development / recoding? I can't find anything in the Webif settings on this.
Thanks,
John Percival Hackworth
