Remote issue

Hi,

I searched for my issue but I couldn't find anything regarding it so I'm posting my question here -

I configured remote access using the instructions and it works like a charm
for ServiiGo. I can also activate mediabrowser on localhost.
However - Once I try using [myip]:[port]/mediabrowser it won't work.

I double checked - the port is open and accessible.
I also tried port forwarding using the guides. Nada.

What am I doing wrong?

Thank again for your great support.

Re: Remote issue

are you using your public IP or IP of the PC on your network?

Thanks for the answer.
Public. ServiioGo can connect perfectly.
I should note that I have the "Automatically configure your router.." checked
and the connectivity status is green.

Re: Remote issue

Hmm. Seems I managed to access the media browser from my cellphone's browser. I want to test it using my public ip from my pc but it's not working for some reason. Nevermind then, as long as it's accessible from other machines - it's perfect!

Re: Remote issue

Continuing an old thread -

I do not have access to the media browser from where I work, same thing happens to my wife at her work's pc.
I sent the mediabrowser link to other people and they can access the sign in screen.

I assume the IT team somehow blocks port 23424 from being accessed.

Is there a way to bypass this?

using a proxy on a standard port that has access to other ports on the internet. (look for http proxies in google). Basically what this will do is send any request through a port that your firewall will allow over to the proxy, then connect to the proper port over the internet and come back to you through the proxy.

Re: Remote issue

Thanks for your answer.
I'm not sure a proxy, especially using a free one, supports streaming and even if it does it won't be able to hold high bitrates..

Re: Remote issue

Hello again, I did not find any possible solution for this problem and I'm not sure this is not a serviio issue. I've used a software similar to serviio called dsub, which has a remote system were
users can log-in to and I never had any problems with it.

Re: Remote issue

What OS is your Serviio server installed on?

Can you not just map the port differently using your router? e.g. router:8000 -> server:23424
