Stream live-tv over internet (1 Viewer)

[cohiba]

I have my dedicated tv-server setup and runs fine within the LAN. I now try to access the server over internet by forwarding ports on my internet router. I can connect MP client remotely to the tv-server and show the EPG without any issue. The problem is that selecting a channel, the stream appears not to route over the internet. Any suggestions on how to get this last step working?

I get the error: TSReaderPlayer: Failed to open file:rtsp://192.168.1.14:554/stream9.0 :0x80004005

Of course 192.168.1.14 is not reachable over the internet, so how can I get the IP changed into a hostname like TV-SERVER. rtsp://TV-SERVER:554/stream9.0

Ports forwarded on the router to 192.168.1.14:

3389 TCP/UDP Both
554 TCP/UDP Both
31456 TCP/UDP Both
1433 TCP/UDP Both
1434 TCP/UDP Both
3306 TCP/UDP Both

TV Server uses dynamic ephemeral UDP ports for the RTSP stream data. You would have to find a way to make those ports accessible externally.
Maybe it would just be easier to use MPExtended?

 

[cohiba]

I managed to change the IP address of the stream service to "TV-SERVER" on the remote dedicated TV Server, so now the url is properly set to rtsp://TV-SERVER:554/stream9.0. I did this with a MySQL client and manually changed the Server hostname in the table (because the UI does not allow you to put in a hostname)

When I now do a manual timeshift on the server I can actually play this stream via VLC client remotely (full HD), so the stream does pass-trough the internet router. To me that means the port forwarding works properly.

The thing now is that the MP client only shows black screen when selecting the channel. It seems like it times out or something... Is there a way to change the timeshift buffer and maybe time-outs?

The reason why I do not use MPExtend is that I want to use the regular MP Client, and I do not believe that is designed to stream via MPExtended?
