getting the vu solo 2 to work on iPhone and iPad with live blackbox app

[mike4scuba]

has anyone had any success in setting up live blackbox app to work under 3g and 4g (fine using home wifi)

these are the instruction i received when emailing the company

Hi Mike,

You can use the transcoding feature of the Vu+ Solo2.

1. Make sure that Transcoding is enabled on the Vu+ under Menu > Plugins > Transcoding...
2. Forward the ports 80 and 8002 (both TCP) from your Vu+. See your router manual for details.
3. Setup a DynDNS service if your internet IP-address should not be static. See your router manual.
4. Enable "Internal Transcoding" and set the set-top-box IP-address to your DynDNS host or internet IP-address in the app settings

Best Regards,
Marcel

2/ i have a sky box but in port forwarding i have the option to use Inbound Services or outbound Services in the header under Firewall Rules – which do i use?

3/ i have set up a dyndns account as i don't have a static ip. i have used my routers ip address and put that in the settings of the app

4/ it do you enable internal transcoding in the app or vu solo2

should be straight forward but am missing something

Please do. Please also be aware you have probably opened up your home network to abuse from anyone else unless done properly.

If the main developer of the image you use reacted like that, we'd get no bugs fixed...
Please do the guide.

I would be most interested in a guide please

there is a guide already on the websites page

http://www.rotapp.com/guide/blackbox/en/

It does not go into port forwarding sky routers but that would be in the documentation for the router

I for one would be most grateful if you would spare some time to put together a comprehensive guide.
As I am in the exact position you were in just before you sorted it. We'll only difference is that I'm working with duo2, I thank you now in advance.
