I've successfully used Recorder_linux which saves current channel into asf-file. Channel change does not work with my external stb.

Sources are @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/slingboxsdk/
Hope someone could fix the channel change Big Grin

LJJ, did you ever get this working

Only way I was able to get this functional. Was to RESET to factory settings and set up for INTERNET remote viewing. Somehow though the viewing mode never remained functional. Within a day I would loose connection. Suspect this might only be an issue for users working with far remote viewing over the Internet.

The local LAN might work correctly.


- Waman - 2012-01-27 03:07

I reset my buddies to factory, did setup again, to make sure I had admin password
still no go for me . I can view it from my home pc or my android device, just not from XBMC
says working at the bottom, comes back with one or more errors
I did double check the wan IP, it was correct one, Oh Well
I will keep digging,

Same here. I have a Slingbox Pro and still can't get it to change the channel correctly. In some cases, typing in the numbers work, but it either freezes my system or exits out of the application.

Can someone please help dumb it down for me? I am actually trying to change the channel on the internal tuner, not an external receiver.

Thanks in advance. And also, thanks HM. This is one feature I have been looking for in a connected device for a while.

What were you doing wrong, and what did you do to correct it. I have tried everything.

Has anyone mapped the remote buttons for control of a TiVO via the Slingbox? I'm sure someone has done this, and I would appreciate if that someone could post their slingboxsettings.xml so I don't have to go through the headache of figuring out which code is which button.

If no one has done this, I'll post my xml file when I get it set up the way I want it, so others don't have to go through the pain.

I really wish they had just included some common mappings for the different remotes that slingbox supports natively. It's also annoying that I can't use the d-pad, OK, and media control buttons on my remote, as that would make more sense than mapping the number buttons to those functions.

Went to my buddies House


I reset the slingbox, with reset button, I downloaded the slingbox software
from here, for windows,

(http://placeshiftingenthusiasts.com/slingplayer-download-windows-mac-and-more/)

for some reason, the slingmedia site
want take the changes, it didn't for me anyway.
I made a new administator password
I came home and fired up my apple tv, put in my admin, p/word. WAN Ip addy
and it popped in, working ever since.
I still have not got to work on the channel change yet, hopefully this weekend
I want to try, and use the apple tv remote, just up and down,
will be fine for me


Cannot get it to work remotely - imup2it - 2012-03-02 21:48

I can get my slingbox pro to work on (my atv2) XBMC with out an issue. I use the format as posted but less the port and input as default is fine.

The issue I have is to do it remotely from another location. Instead of my internal IP of 192.168.1.xx I put in my real IP. I have tryed with adding the port and without, I have also put port forwarding for 5001 on my netgear 3700 and when this did not work, I used port triggering. I have tryed it as FTP, HTTP and custom.

Any IdeasConfused

Both my Iphone and Android apps work anywhere.
