remote streaming http using IPv6 not working anymore

[MobiusCH]

Dear friends, I am at an impasse!

Over the last few months I have been using VLC to stream media to my girlfriend, since for the moment we live in different cities. For this remote streaming, I used the GUI stream command, using HTTP and my IPv6 address from the “Tunnel adapter Local Area Connection*”, found using the ipconfig in the command prompt on Windows 10, using Port 8080, while transcoding and streaming all elements, resulting in following String:

Code: Select all

:sout=#transcode{acodec=mpga,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100,scodec=dvbs}:duplicate{dst=http{dst=:8080/test.mpg},dst=display} :sout-all :sout-keep

Now, after months of working without a problem, this just stopped functioning. I can still stream inside the network, but not to a remote PC or phone.

On my phone, I only get the message: “The location http://[ipv6]:8080/stream.mpg cannot be played”

I’ve searched for a solution in the internet, especially in the forum here. The solutions I found concerned itself mainly with streaming inside the same local network or did not result.

1. I suspected my ISP of blocking the port 8080. But I tested it and that’s not the case.
2. VLC has a permission rule on all protocols in both directions from my firewall.
3. Tested the method with other IPv6 from the results of the ipconfig command. Didn’t help, as I suspected.
4. Updated VLC to the newest version on my PC, the laptop of my girlfriend and my android phone.
5. Tested to stream from my PC tower, on which VLC wasn’t updated yet, didn’t get a remote stream either. Updated VLC, still did not work.

Nothing helped and I am at the end of my wits.

Does anybody know this problem? Or know a solution?

Thanks a lot!

Edit: PS, I hope this is the right forum for this problem.

Thanks a lot for the advice. Will try this and report here.

But could you elaborate your solution? Why do I need to fool the ISP?

And do you have any instructions on creating such a local copy of an adapter?
