This is a standalone program it does not access any UI. Download the software, read the readme. edit the config.ini with the password for one of your slingboxes and turn on that slingbox. Run the program, watch your slingbox. |

I don mean to bug, but I can't quiet figure this out. I missed my slingbox.
Not sure what file or files to download from your gethub.

that you may see and respond to my plea for help. Like as in baby-steps.

Understand that whatever computer you choose to set up and run the code will be the source of your video streams. That computer will need to be on whenever you want to watch the content coming from your slingboxes. It can be in the same location as the slingboxes (this is preferable) or it can be at a different location. You can view the video streams on any device that is able to connect to that computer (also the computer itself).

The easiest way to do that on windows is just downloading the zip folder.

Extract everything from the zipped folder and move it to the new folder you

You have video source specified twice in your config file. Your config file is pretty messy overall though. It looks like you combine stuff from the unified_config example with the generic config file. Your config file should look more like this: `[SLINGBOXES] [500] [SERVER] EDIT: Fixed error in config file code |

I think you have an extra ' at the start of the text in your config file. It looks like my previous post was not formatted properly, so if you copied that one, tha'ts where the ' came from. The verbatim config file should look like this (I've double checked the formatting this time): It looks like there was an extra ' at the end of the very last line as well. Remove the one at the beginning and the one at the end (or copy-paste the one above) and you should be good. If not, we'll take another look. |

I think you have an extra ' at the start of the text in your config file.
If you copied the one I pasted, it might be due to how github use text
enclosed in ' to format things to look like code. I probably added an extra
in there.

Looks like the server found three slingboxes on your network, but the config file doesn't have an IP address that matches any of those three. Do you know which of the three slingboxes you have the admin password for in the config file? If you are you trying to get all three slingboxes on the server, you will need to modify the config file to account for two additional slingboxes. |

So a few things... From these three slingboxes that the server found: I don't see one in the file with the info for you slingboxes with this finderID: The other two match in both files, so I'd suspect that those two would both be more likely to work. which is why I put all three together in the one config file: I also see these lines here at the end: The IP address you had in the config file |

To access it externally (outside of your home network), you want
http://47.149.132.142:65432/Gerry/SlingTivo. Eventually, you would need
to set up a DDNS to create a web address that is always synched up with

That likely means you need to open external port 65432 on your router for the computer running the server. |

I got it to play externally, but how do I control the channel, I have a
TiVo that sources the signal.
And I was serious about buying your dinner. Send me your patreon, paypal or
other means to receive $$$, and I'll send over enough money for you to buy
dinner.

There is a Tivo remote definitions file in the CustomRemotes folder. But the default remote should let you change channels. Replace 127.0.0.1 with 47.149.132.142 if you want to connect remotely |

To change the channel, you access the remote for your particular slingbox through any web browser:
You put the name of the particular slingbox (listed in your config file) at the end of the address, after Remote/ You will probably have the default remote file. You can find fancier remote files that people have put in the custom remotes folder, but I use the default one, because I pretty much only change the channel numbers and do little else with it. One caveat is that you need at least one stream active in order for the remote to work (so, if you are trying to watch on your phone and change the channel, it's not gonna work if you have to close the stream to open the webpage). To get around that, you'll have to pass the channel code through the initial address for the stream:
where ### is the channel number (it can be any number of digits) And don't worry about compensating me. I've gotten help here from Gerry and from other folks on many occasions. I'm just paying it forward. |

Hello,
Now i'm being greedy, ...you guys think there is a way I can get the
slinger server running on a microsoft 2022 server. I already deployed it,
and the devices actually register, just can not get it to connect and play
from the video client. If you want to take a stab at it, I'll let the
survey run.
This is the configuration I made for it.
[SLINGBOXES]
sb1=SlingTiVo
sb2=LivingRoom
[SlingTiVo]
sbtype="350/500/M1"
password=99gIqoxsZGIVA3C
finderid=9FE571525E15604A070F4CDEF6337A0D
ipaddress=192.168.86.249
port=5201
Resolution=12
FrameRate=60
VideoBandwidth=2000
VideoSmoothness=63
VideoSource=1
maxstreams=3
;StartChannel=618
;RemoteLock=yes
Remote=500_remote.txt
[LivingRoom]
sbtype="350/500/M1"
password=epBh8sIAZoyA4MB
finderid=4E2C0AA3BF9A146637EAE0940D7FB0E8
ipaddress=192.168.86.47
port=5204
Resolution=12
FrameRate=60
VideoBandwidth=2000
VideoSmoothness=63
VideoSource=1
maxstreams=3
;StartChannel=618
;RemoteLock=yes
Remote=500_remote.txt
[SERVER]
; local port number for the server to listen on for connections
; Send all streaming and Remote requests to this port number.
port=65432
maxremotestreams=3
URLbase=Gerry
enableremote=yes
and my server's IP address is: 172.81.60.53 I don't know how to locate the
server's actual port number.

I have slinger running on MS 2022 server, I didn't do anything special, however I did change video client from VLC to SM player for better overall results. |

Yeah, so the ip addresses in my configuration is my public IP addressand
the port to each sling device and the two devices are registering.
So they're waiting and ready for me to connect. But how do i figure out the
port on the 2022 msft server?
I thought it would be:
http://72.81.60.53:####/Gerry/ SlingTiVo
The 65432 is not working.

1. your portmap on your router is pointing to the 2022Server IP and
the port number is 65432
2. THe firewall on the 2022Server is not blocking port 65432.

There's no figuring out what the port is. It's port=65432 |

It not a port mapping issue, because the 2022server registered my sling
device.

I fail to see what that has to do with the port mapping on your router to allow external access to the slingbox_server on your Win Server box. Did you actually go check it or are you assuming it's OK? |

Post a screen shot of your router config and the output of the ipconfig
command on the server.

This process is a bit beyond my skill set. I can not even determine how you're accessing the UI of the Slingbox's software. I did at lease catch the passwords for all my devices before the servers went dark. I'd assume you're getting hit up majorly on this work around, so I can only be hopeful that you may see and respond to my plea for help. Like as in baby-steps.
