i am trying to get the ip numder from my sling box but it is in anoter city in my parents house and they are using an router so the only ip number i see is 192.168 someting. but that wouldnt do it for me who lives in a different city. The actual question is: how do i get my "real" ip numder for my slingbox to make it work and where do i look for it? I tryed every freakin ip number i could find but non of them works...

can i see the "right" ip number in my slingplayer where i´m streaming from some how or do i have to go home to my parents to get it

Please help....

Here is a link to the build I made for Ubuntu 10.10 if anyone wants to try it out. Make sure to build dep for xbmc first to get all the dependencies.

Code:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc

chris0147 Wrote:Thanks harry, could you please help me how to convert the code from c++ to .net??

I just want to try it out to see if it will works so i will use c++ or c# for future use.

And I have sent you a PM. Please could you reply on my PM?

Thanks!

For those wondering what would be the Slingbox IP. Usually it's 192.168.1.254:5001 (for Linksys routers with default IP)

What would be the /input ? I use Component Video.

Thanks!

As for your PM, please stop spamming my inbox with duplicate messages, I will respond when I have time. Sending the same message over and over every day doesn't help your request any.

chris0147 Wrote:Okay no problem, could you help me with the c++ to create form code to watch the slingbox on the application form??

I would be happy to switch to c++ and take a test to watch the slingbox. If you have got a sample file for me to take a look for the whole souce you have wrote, I would be so grateful if you could post it.

As for sending a PM, I am really sorry for keep spamming you. I want you to be awake that I don't really like people to be arrogant when they come online and read my pm without send me any replies. I hate it when people ignore my answers when I wanted for some advice.

I hope you understand this.

Harry Muscle Wrote:As soon as you hire me I'd be more than happy to help write a whole program for you, otherwise, I'm sorry but I just don't have that kind of spare time.

As for the sample, take a look at the patch for XBMC (http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10464), that's the best example I can give you on how to integrate my SlingboxLib with another existing application that does the decoding and displaying of the stream.

As for your third point, again, as soon as I'm on your payroll, I'd be more than happy to answer your questions promptly ... until such time, I will continue to provide answers on my spare time, be it an hour after they are asked or a month after they are asked. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the one being arrogant, I think you are ... expecting people who volunteer to make XBMC better to answer your questions instantly when your question doesn't even have anything to do with XBMC, but with a program that you are writing.

chris0147 Wrote:That's great. how much do you accept my offer? I can only offer you no more than $50 to write a whole program. The things is I don't have any money available for you to do the work yet until when I get my money in two weeks time.

Let me know if that is ok with you to wait. And the other things I don't have is the finder id and the password to get access to the slingbox. If you have one, I would be grateful to take a test after when I hire you.

As for decoding the stream, I understand how it works. I have no knowledge how to do this on c++. I will take a look into it when you complete writing the whole program then I will learn from it. Is it possible for you to write the button1 to change channel number in c++, like to change the channel number from 1 to 13??

Harry Muscle Wrote:My message was intended to show that my time isn't free, and you acting like it is, is not the right way to get my help. I was NOT actually soliciting a job. Ironically I am currently looking for work, which is why I have time to work on XBMC, but writing a stand alone program that used my SlingboxLib and then decodes and displays the stream is not something you put together in an hour or two and charge $50 for. You'd be looking more like at a $1000 to $2000 range probably.

Out of sheer curiosity, why can't you use the Sling Media player provided by Sling Media? Or XBMC with my patch?

Harry

chris0147 Wrote:I'd find you a bit cheeky bugger as you are still offering a free advice for other people, who needs XBMC to get it working in order as you wanted me to hire you.

chris0147 Wrote:Well I say nah, I don't need to pay you to do this shit anyway. I can find out myself for free by how to decode the stream into wmv, so I can watch the slingbox through on video player. You haven't answer to my last question, is it possible to code the button1 on c++ to change the channel number, something like change from 1 to 13?? If so, which header I should use??

chris0147 Wrote:Over the top of this, I don't really needs to use sling media application. I want to use my own program. And I don't have a box to watch the slingbox through on XBMC. Why do you needs to know anyway??
