What are you streaming to warajoker and what player are you using to stream?
I still can't get it to play the stream, even after following the tutorial to the letter.
Pc at work. I cant get it to work on my phone becuase it downloads the link instead of opening it.
Ok, got it working now.
In openwebif plugin http port 8099. and streaming port 8001.
Enable transcoding and use port 8002.
Download dreamdroid from google play
Settings in dreamdroid are:
Enter ip address in hostname/ip. Not network ip, your actual ip.
Port 8099.
Port(live) 8001
Dowload vlc for android from google play.
There it is. Transcoding working a treat
the ip adress of the solo2?
The physical ip address, or I guess your dyndns address might also wok.
Not sure as I have a static ip.
Don't you have to forward those ports on your router too, for it to work outside the home network - as that where transcoding will provide it's most benefit
Yes. This is done according to an online guide warajoker posted, but seems to have been edited out of his post.
The port forwarding was covered in the guide.
one of the mods must of deleted the link. but im not sure why because i wasnt breaking any rules as it wasnt a live link as i coded it

Hi fellas, thanx for the thread. Got my SOLO 2 streaming to my galaxy s3 mini over 3g after following instructions in post 4 from bokkie. Used port 8082 though. Streamed the Footy in HD to the phone. Pic quality was perfectly watchable. No audio at first but changed the decoding on daroon player from software to hardware and that sorted it. Having 80/40 Meg helps I'm sure. Using Cat 6 cable from router to Solo2 also.
While live streaming is fine, recorded programs will not play smoothly. Constant buffering. But hey it's early days and I'm happy for now.

Playback of recordings does not use the transcoder (as yet). Hopefully VU will allow this with driver updates in future.

when I login to openwebif I cant get the transcoding to play on my pc at work. I have to use the little tv icon next to it that you would use to view inside of your network and that's all laggy. I think it may be my works internet speed as I have the 120mb virgin media package so I don't understand. but I cant get the transcoding one to open. but ive got it working on my phone

If you have got it working on your phone, I guess you changed the transcoding port to 8001.
When you use OpenWebIF on your work PC the WebIF on your receiver thinks that the standard streaming port 8001 is in use, and the fact you changed the tranacoding port to 8001 as well is causing the problem.
Until one of the android developers allows you to use their apps with a different port than the standard 8001, you have a choice:
1) Watch a transcoded stream on your Android by setting transcoding port to 8001
2) Watch a transcoded stream on a PC by setting transcoding port back to 8002 (or any other port EXCEPT 8001). The the two little TV icons will represent both normal (8001) and transcoded (8002) streams
A third possibility is to find a way to allow your android to react in the same way as your PC and play a stream on 8002 (instead of trying to download it) when you open your Android browser of choice in desktop mode. I have not yet found out how to do this, but will continue to search.
