Hi Hameno,

Looks like your site is down. I am looking for setting up the app for access on the internet. I have added the port in NAT. Is there something I need to do on the HTPC as well?

Thanks,
Srikanth

Very strange, gonna look into that.

EDIT: Should work. Clear your cache to be sure :)

You have to forward the correct port (49941) to the ftr server. Then in the profile you have to choose SSL and enter the correct username/password. In the IP you have to enter you external IP or better a dyndns-hostname pointing to your public/external ip. The port field should be left blank - it will automatically choose the correct port.

Yes. It is working now and I did not clear any cache.

What would be user id and password? Is it the same as the FTR web access'?

I am still having trouble. I get the message "Could not connect to the server using the provided information. Continue anyway?"

This is what I am doing.

Name: Some Profile Name
Host: WAN IP address
Port : Left Blank also tried with 49941
SSL : enabled
User Name: FTR Web Accesss user id
Password: FTR web access password

I have done port forwarding to the HTPC for port 49941 and 49943

What else should I do to connect. I am able to connect FTR web access over the internet.

Hmm strange, is your smartphone connected via wifi or umts/gprs when you tested it?

Edit: You can connect to the web interface? Maybe you could write me a PM with your current IP and I could test if the ports are really working...
Btw: You should only open the SSL port, on the non-SSL port anyone could connect without any credentials and access your pc.

OK, I got it working now. It seems like there was some problem with the wifi.

Ahh yes, normally you can't connect to your external ip from within the local network (-> wifi). On some routers you can enable nat loopback (access external ip from within the local net) but most cannot do that.

First I like to say, that I love the app. But I notice every time when I need to select a channel, I swipe over or before the channel I need. That is because it stops every time to load the epg, that doesn’t make it feel very smooth. I was thinking is it not an idea to make the channels static? A page with channels and when you click a channel the epg will be loaded. I think that gives a better user experience.
