[DCG]

nice informative post might hel us help you with info like the image you r using

[lamppost1]

sorry using vu+duo with blackhole image v2

[echelon]

put the lan ip address of the duo into firefox
the web interface should present itself
now click on the tv bouquet containing the channel you wish to view
click on the 2 tv,s on the right of that channel in the onscreen list
select vlc as the player in the popup

vlc will now open and the programme will be displayed and will stream into vlc

did all that will not stream since i put new bhole software on

First: Can you ping your STB via hostname & IP address from your PC?
If no
Go check what IP address your STB has assigned and try again with that one.

If yes
Is streaming enabled on your STB via the web interface plugin?

as mentioned in the previous post, check the webinterface plugin is enabled

looks like your box is on ip 76 and the streamer using 8002

[lamppost1]

openweb interface enabled yes http port 00080 enable http yes streaming port 08001 enable https yes smart service renameing xbmc no this is the setting on vu+duo

[echelon]

try turning enable http authentication to NO

here its

yes
00080
no
08001
yes
00443
no

the streamer should be opening 8001, not 8002

[lamppost1]

done all that still the same

[echelon]

well, if its using 8001 then why is your link showing 8002 ? surely it cannot work with 8002 if its set to 8001 ?

I just tested my duo and a solo2 and 8001 was the one opened in firefox 19

[lamppost1]

do not no is there anything else i can try

[echelon]

first thing is check if your duo is on 192.168.1.76 like your post says

if is is , try changing the port from 8001 to 8002 and try again, seeing as your post says ip 76 and port 8002

[lamppost1]

just cheked ip as above changed port 8002 still no joy sorry for being a pest

[echelon]

what version is your mozilla firefox ?

[lamppost1]

firefox 19 just put firefox 20 still the same
