VU+ Plugins - Streaming & IPTV Vu+ Player for Android setup help please

[dodgy34]

I was on the vu+ website and came across the Vu+ Player for Android that lets you stream from your reciever to you phone, tablet, etc..

I have downloaded the "vuplusplayer.apk" from vu's website but thats about as far as i've got, i need help please.

Do i transfer the .apk file to the reciever and use a plugin extension?

I am using the Vu+ Zero

Could someone please tell me if i this one is the best to use? is there an alternative? what is the best thing to use for this?

Cheers in advance folks

@dodgy why not use dreamdroid to be found in the google play store
i am using it as well works perfect

 

[dodgy34]

Cheers i'll try that too. I got the Vu+ Player installed and running, although i have to set up port forwarding on my router for it to work properly.

Everything works apart from streaming to my tablet. I am using a BT Homehub 4. Any help here would be great. Routers scare me a little, lol.

there is no need to open any ports with this program
just install fill in the ip adres and thats it
ps the password you need to fil in normaly would root pass dreambox
or your own pass if you have 1

Which program, the one you linked or the one I did, its not clear from your post and in order to avoid confusion

Everything works as it should other than being able to stream the signal from the box to my tablet.

When i enable remote streaming i get this message

Both Locally and Remotely?

Have you checked your firewall? Have you forwarded the correct port on your router?

 

[dodgy34]

Thats the issue im having. Im useless with routers. Mine is a bt homehub 4.

Do i set up DynDNS or is it setup by default and i enable it?

I'll youtube it here to see if there is a tutorial for my router.

I'll let you know how i get on

Cheers

If you plan on using anything remotely your going to need to port forward, ive never had a homrhub so not much help there.

More confusing that it sounds - The sooner you try, the sooner you start to become more familiar with your super hubs interface, and the less daunting it will be next time you have to do this
