Idiot Guide Needed For Remotely Accessing OpenWebif (Watch TV Outside Of My Home).

[kisumisu]

Late answer but since no one has posted it I do

Login to your router

Portforward ports 80 and 8001 (in my case the box have internal ip 192.168.10.130 so I portforward to that IP these ports).

--------------------------------------

telnet 192.168.10.130
adduser admin -h /dev/null -H -s /bin/false -G root
(admin can be something else too, its your username so choose something you remember)
You will now be prompted to add new password (Here you choose some difficult password that you remember)

----------
Start your box and tv. Go to menu, plugins. Openwebif,
Enable webif
Enable HTTP Authentication
Enable HTTPS
Enable HTTPS Authentication
Enable Authentication for streaming
Add service name to stream information

-----------
Start webbrowser and surf to www.whatismyip.com
Copy the Public IP and start using!

This works in computer and also with "DreamDroid" mobile app!

This should do it and please, this is not secure do so be careful and use only for fun purposes with receivers you dont care so much if somebody hacks them since your box is now open to internet!!!!!

Hullo everyone,

Firstly, if I'm posting this in the wrong area of the forum, please forgive me - I have no idea where to start.

I have to spend a lot of time in hospital, and if anyone has this misfortune, they will know how rubbish and expensive watching TV in hospital is!

At home, I have a Vusolo2 box installed, along with a high speed Virgin Media connection.

On my tablet at home, I can connect to the Vusolo2 via my WIFI and can watch any of the channels anywhere within the WIFI range.
(I use the address http://192.168.0.01 then the number my box is assigned to, then use the OpenWebif page to select a channel, which then opens with VLC).

What I'm hoping to do, is to simply connect to my Vusolo2 when I'm not at home, example being - watch any of my channels when I'm in hospital.

I seriously have no idea on how to accomplish this, and dare not try anything in case I mess up badly.

If anyone can provide me with an idiot proof guide - Step 1, Step 2 etc on how to do this, I would be a very happy person, armed with my tablet for my next round of hospital tratment!

Fingers crossed, and best wishes,

Carsmile.
