I have managed to configure the VU Webinterface successfully on my PC....The only thing I can't get to work is the streaming, I have the latest VLC Media player installed but I'm unable to get it to work...I was wondering are my Webinterface settings correct ?
Or is there something else to configure ?

first thing i noticed was the file has the wmp icon and not vlc although it says it is default :confused: ----> try to re-intall vlc again and make sure u select the m3 file as being set to vlc during the setup (it is not checked by default)

do u have any firewall turned on that is monitoring even internal networking traffic.

It downloads a small m3u whic plays, but the ip and port that flashes on the screen are incorrect, well the ip is correct but not the port.

the port should be 8001 for the vlc, what is it that u have

Yes it is but the port on my vu webinterface is not that....Should I open 8001 on my router ?

yeah, u can try two things:

1- revert back to the default port 80 on the webinterface (restart enigma2 after changing it)
2- open the port

u didn't confirm if u have any antivirus or firewall intercepting the traffic on ur pc

I followed this post with regards to port number.

a) 'HTTP Port' - It is strongly recommended that the port number 80 is changed to another random number. For this guide i have used port 1222

I'm using McAfee Antivirus and just the standard XP Firewall.

Sorted.....What I think was happening...Trying to stream a HD channel accross my homeplugs....That's why it kept dropping the stream...When I selected a normal channel it worked....
