Access to VLC web interface over the internet
Posted: 20 Feb 2014 09:23
Hey guys,
my intention:
When i visit my parents, i would like to stream music and movies from my own pc at home to my laptop...
I want to do that by using the vlc web interface...
My problem:
I don't get a connection to the vlc web interface over the internet...(i am using my public ip to test it... i will get a dyndns when i achieve a connection...)
I can get access in my lan at home but that is not my use case...
lan-test: http://192.168.126.2:8080
internet-test: http://247.x.x.x:8080
What i actually did:
I activated the web interface in my vlc and activated the port forwarding funktion of my router for 2 ports... the first one for the web interface and the second one for the stream...
i assigned a password in the "lua" section of vlc options, but that does not work... but i think that lua is part of the web interface because "lua" stands in the footnote of the web interface...
but that is a secondary problem...
My english-skills are not the best but i hope you get what i want to do
Kind regards
