    VU+ Android App remote access.

    Hi guys as the title says I'm looking to use the vu+ android app to connect to my gigablue quad whin I am not on my home network. I am able to set it up just fine when on the home network but I cannot for the life of me get it to work outside of my home network. I have my IP address input correctly (I think) and I have forwarded port 8001 and 8002 on my router because these are used for the transcoding. Can somebody send me in the right direction on how to get this app to connect remotely. Thanks.

    Not exactly. Transcoding is currently only supported on VU boxes, all other functions should work fine on other E2 boxes.

    Ah, OK, so it's only about transcoding.
    Please use capitals and punctuation to make your post readable.

    So indeed, that doesn't work for other brands on the VU-player. As far as I know no other brand supports this by an app.
    But you can of course stream transcoded via the WEB-IF

    Transcoding is only one function of many on the VU+ Player app. All other functions should work just fine on any E2 box.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding I didn't realise transcoding wasn't supported by the app for other receivers. I assumed it would work for any enigma 2 receiver. Yes it would have been mainly for transcoding how ever I would still like to be able to connect to it for the likes of the egg and setting timers etc.

    How can I connect to the Web if remotely? Do I need to forward certain ports on my router or anything.

    Hi,
    dreamdroid might work if you configure port 8002 for streaming.

    I forwarded port 8001 and 8002 in my router but there must be something else I haven't done because it will not connect outside of my home network

    Ok so I had port 80 forwarded. I finally got it working. I didn't have it set up as a tcp connection. All good now. Tho I cannot get any streaming or transcoding working. I can just browse the box epg timers etc. That is my next goal lol
