jillefsky Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Dear fellow SlingFront users, Since today I haven't been able to reach my slingbox through SlingFront. I am wondering if anyone is having the same problem? Web viewer and sling media application works fine so it is definitely not a problem with the slingbox. I have also tried it in different machines, obtaining the same problem. Maybe SlingMedia have updated something in the system? I have been using SlingFront for over 3 years and never experienced this problem. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

oviano Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Where is it failing - when it loads your Slingbox directory (ie logging into your Sling account) or when connecting to a Slingbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillefsky Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hi oviano, Thank you for your quick reply. It turns out I just identified the source of the problem and it is my internet connection. I found it weird that out of a sudden I could also not watch videos in kodi., which I always could. So I made a hotspot from my iphone, and it turns out I can connect with slingfront and also Kodi works as normal. But If I go back to my cable internet, everything fails. Could it be the ISP is blocking all of this? A week ago I changed my internet speed in Vodafone from 16Mbps to 100Mpbs... I am quite startled with this but if it does not go back to normal, then I will certainly complain. KR, Mário Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oviano Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 It seems sttange they'd be blocking specific outgoing ports unless it's an attempt to restrict things like BitTorrent or something - does email and web browsing work as normal? Have you tried simply rebooting your router/modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
