Hi lads
I finally am getting Fibre broadband and want to stream channels to a friend who is living abroad
I have used Veetle and made a stream private and it works, but would love to stream using VLC with a dynamic DNS
can anyone help me locate a tutorial on how to accomplish this with the VU duo?
Thanks
The easiest way to do it without annoying anyone would be to get a slingbox.
But, as you asked a question
Setup a static IP address on your Duo (e.g. 192.168.1.10), on your router enable Port Forwarding for some ports directly to your box, for example ports 80 and 8001. Now setup your Dynamic DNS to point to your home network (e.g. kingtiger.ddns.org). Your friend can then goto kingtiger.ddns.org:80 to access the web interface and then when they want to watch something they'll get kingtiger.ddns.org:8001 to open through VLC player.
That's the way I've it done on my network, although I've used different ports as I've 2 boxes and I primarily use my phone to watch streams.0 -

No, no and no...
USB tuner such as Sony Play TV gives two DTT tuners.
You don't need a Sky sub to watch FTA channels, the enigma2 gui is probably the best interface for combo/FTA viewing.
Nor do you need any Linux knowledge to get up and running. Download an image onto a USB stick, load up, and away you go. No different to updating firmware on the myriad combo boxes available. Scanning sats and organising channels can all be done with the remote, like any other box, except more easily.
Primarily used for CS? Who knows, have you any stats to back this up?
Thanks for the info rurs!

Having a bit of a strange issue lately with my Duo running Vix3.0.679
If I set a timer, while it will record fine the box acts as if it only has 1 sat feed available.
Now I have both Sat tuners on 4port Diseqc switches
Tuner 1: Port A: 13e. B: 19.2e, C: 28.2e
23.5e
Tuner 2: Port A: 9e, B: 16e, C: 28.2e, 4.8e
When a recording starts on 28.2e, I get a ''tune failed'' message when I move to a channel on a different TP.
The odd thing is that none of the other sats on the free tuner are available, for example if I'm recording on Tuner 1,
I should have 9e, 16e 28.2e and 4.8e available but when i try switch to any of these I get a ''tune failed'' message.
Yet when I have no recording in progress all sats\channels are available on both Sat tuners.
The DVB-T tuner works fine during Sat recordings, but the sat channels seem to lock out
Nothing has changed in my settings and I'm probably missing something simple.
Any ideas?
I may roll back to an old backup to see if the issue persists but it has me stumped currently.I should have added that I tried satfinder and all inputs hi/lo are working fine.
Indeed when i am not recording, all inputs\channels work perfectly across both tuners.
I just reflashed an old 3.0.534 build and the issue does not occur, I can watch\record across all tuners with no issue.

Are you sure it's recording 28e from Tuner 1 and not from tuner 2? What happens if you select a channel from 13e when recording? Or are the 13e channels 'greyed out'?0 -

Yep, Certain and its the same issue when I change the tuner priority.
When the timer starts, the only channels that aren't ''greyed out'' are the ones on the TP that I'm recording despite all tuners and sats being available before the timer starts.
It acts as if only a single feed is set up.
I've been through every permutation of tuner setup on the .679 build and whilst all sats are available across both tuners,
as soon as a timer record event starts the box acts as if it only has a single sat feed.(USB tuners are still available)
Logic says it should be either a hardware or a config issue.
However, 7 LNBs are unlikely to fail at once nor are 2 4way Diseqcs and to rule that out I tested all with both a meter and swapping out the Duo for a different receiver and all worked without issue.
All quadrants of all LNBs with no issue and the same with Diseqc command tests, all passed without issue.
And the same result with the coax, tried different receivers all worked fine.
And when not running a record event, both tuners work as normal.
Tuner config is as listed in my initial post above with priority set to auto, but even with priority changed to A or B, the unit will display channels from both tuners perfectly well until a timer record is started and then once again it behaves as a single tuner unit.(Behaves the same after disconnect of USB tuner and reboot too)
What stumps me is that while this behaviour is displayed regardless of settings on the .679 build when I revert to an older build (.534) the issue does not occur whatsoever.
I've reported this over on WOS too as it happens with their image.
Its not too big an inconvenience as I have a working back up not affected by the issue.
Just flagging it because its very very odd!!!
And incase anyone encounters similar 0 -
