[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1210281, member: 82144"] Yes and no. There are at least 3 connections between a client and server: [LIST=1] [*]command + control (.NET remoting) [*]database [*]streaming [/LIST] All 3 connections have to be configured and working correctly in order for a client to fully function. The fact that your EPG is showing indicates that the first two connections are working. The fact that streaming is not working indicates that the third connection is not working. That's all well and good for the command + control and database connections, but it's irrelevant for the streaming connection. Like I said in my previous reply: you need to look at the settings in TV Server Configuration -> streaming server. Again, that's all well and good, but there's more that you have to take care of. TV Server sends the streaming URL to the client. That streaming URL is constructed based on the TV Server Configuration -> streaming server -> IP address and port settings. If those settings are not appropriate/correct, you'll find that TV Server will be sending the client a streaming address that is only accessible inside the local network. Nothing you do within the router settings could fix that. Another thing you need to be aware of... The streaming connection uses the configured port for controlling streaming (RTSP SETUP, PLAY and TEARDOWN commands over a TCP connection). However it also uses RTP (UDP connection) over random [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeral_port']ephemeral ports[/URL] for sending the actual streaming data (video, audio etc.) to the client. If your ISP, cell network or router block outgoing (server -> client) UDP traffic in the ephemeral port range, you're screwed. No, not at this stage. I'd like you to check the TV Server Configuration -> streaming server setting yourself first. To have any chance of working, you must be able to connect to the streaming server (IP address [B]and port[/B] must be accessible) from the outside. In my opinion you're in the best position to check that. [/QUOTE]
