Remote Access Video Problem

[phantomii]

I am currently in FL and I trying to get the Android Client to work remotely to my house in NC. I can connect the client on multiple devices but I cannot get video to play when I select a Channel for TV or a video. I just get a blank (Black) screen. I am on 9.2.8 on the Server and the latest Android Client. I also do not seem to be able to play video on the the Window x64 Placeshifter Client. Opened port 31099 on my router already. Other thoughts?

On the android device, did you try switching decoders? If you're using Exoplayer, try IJK Player instead, or vice versa.

While playing a video I believe you can bring up the overlay (long press 'select' maybe?) and then select the button that looks like a video camera to switch decoders. You may need to exit the video and re-start it to get the new decoder to take affect.

I can't explain the issue with Placeshifter.

Thanks but that did not do it. Still investigating.....

Are you able to check the SageTV log files on the server. Perhaps some errors there may help to resolve
