XBMC Slingbox Client - Development Status

is there a reason to be optimistic that Pro-HD boxes will work in the future?

ticex Wrote:Absolutely superb!! Just what I need for my setup Thanks a lot Harry!!

However, I might be missing something as try as I might I simply can't get the remote settings to change on my Windows install. Right from the default my numbers get sent +1, ie. 2 sends 3, 3 sends 4 etc. and pressing 1 sends mute. I've made a SlingboxSettings.xml file, read the numbers shown in slingplayer, converted them to HEX and placed it in:

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata

However, no matter what I put in this file there's no change and everything works just like default without any change. I'd be really grateful for any advice as I'm starting to pull my hair out here :-)

Here's what I've put in the .xml file:

<slingboxsettings>
<slingbox>
<buttons>
<channelup>2E</channelup>
<channeldown>2F</channeldown>
<one>09</one>
<two>09</two>
<three>0A</three>
<four>0B</four>
<five>0C</five>
<six>0D</six>
<seven>0E</seven>
<eight>0F</eight>
<nine>10</nine>
<zero>11</zero>
</buttons>
</slingbox>
</slingboxsettings>

Thanks!

If you can provide a full debug log we might be able to to figure out what's going on ... but without that ... it's all just a guess.

I've actually figured out a way to stream from the Pro-HD, I've just been too busy with life to implement it. But just to warn you, the quality isn't the greatest.

Thanks,

is it worse than standard def?

Hi all. I am going to be out of the area for a while and really want to keep access to sports....I have original Xbox with latest Nightly of XBMC4XBOX and am wondering if someone would be so kind as to grant me TEMPORARY access to their slingbox so I might see if the quality is good enough before I go out and buy one for myself....

Please email or PM....

Thanks!!

I feel so retarded that I can't figure this out when it seems to be so simple. I just need to "add video source".

I'm running XBMC 10.1 for Windows. I go to Video ->Add Source->Click None and edit it with the string, sling://administrator:mypassword@192.168.0.155:5001/input and it says can't connect to that source. I've tried without the port since it's the default anyway and without the /input at the end.

On the slingplayer windows app i can see it's using that IP address and that port number. I thought maybe my password was wrong, so i changed it and tried again, no luck, but yet can get to it with the slingplayer app/iphone app.

Am I doing something wrong?

I think you have to run a nightly build. The code isn't in the official release that I'm aware of.

1) nightly build
2) drop the "/input" on the end
3) make sure no one else is using the slingbox
4) password has to be the SLINGBOX password, and not your SLING online account password.
5) make sure that your router is set to pass port 5001 for that IP address. Most routers have firewalls that block many if not all ports.
6) make sure you are using Slingbox Solo, as that seems to only work

Just wanted to clarify point 6 real quick ... pretty much all models except the Pro HD work. And even that model will work soon.

We need a full debug log to be able to help out.
