I have an X10 high quality full remote control video camera that I want to feed the video into the Slingbox with audio of the room. I then want to put the slingbox 240-100 in my DMZ zone outside my firewall and router for multiple people to view the video. Can I load a static IP, password and anything else needed into the Slingbox and just put it out on the Internet….sort of like a server without the cost of a server? Can multiple people connect to the Slingbox simultaneously? Thanks,

Can you tell us what you used for Protocol, Device, and Sub Device when building your profile for the Happauge remote with RemoteMaster? Thank you!!

Doug-

No you can’t. The Slingbox is not a video recorder, it’s a video streaming device… it doesn’t store any video at all. It just sends a video feed across the internet.

Can you record shows on you pc with slingbox and later transfer those recordings to a microsd card to watch on a mobile device? I would like to watch recorded shows on the airplane when I travel and live tv when I am in my wireless network’s 3.5g coverage. I do not currently have a tv tuner, slingbox, or blackjack. I would prefer buying two items instead of three.

The custom remote file is saved directly to the Slingbox, and so it is available from all Slingbox clients whether they are desktop or mobile. Just put the remote files in the SBAV directory on your PC, run through the setup wizard, choose the proper remote file from within it and then it will save it to the Slingbox for you.

Sorry to be a pain, but are you able to add the custom remote file to the SlingPlayer Mobile too? From what I understand you need to save the remote file into the SBAV directory. I assume this is a directory for the SlingPlayer. Is there such a directory for the mobile player? I also have a Blackjack.

Thanks. I’ll try to find the codes. What did you use for Protocol, Device, and Sub Device?

Grant- Manually, following this tutorial. Basically, there's a file that comes with the Hauppage IR program called irremote.ini (should be in the c:\windows directory). On the side of each remote command listed, there is an OBC code. I entered those codes into Remote Master in the OBC column next to the function that each one matched. As for getting the Firefly mini to work: You'd have to find the IR codes for that remote. You might have some success by looking around in hifi-remote.com for them.

How did you get the codes from the Hauppauge 45-button remote into Remote Master? I want to do the samething with the Firefly mini IR remote. Thanks!
