Changing WHS HTTPS port causes streaming media to fail

Post by almock » Tue Jun 01, 2010 4:42 pm

Sorry if this is not the right forum for this question...

I have an HP EX485 and I am running the version of Twonky that came with this (5.0 according to the exe props)
I had to change the SSL port to TCP 50443 as I already have something running on TCP 443 and I only have 1 external IP.

Everytime I try to access the steaming media from the WHS web site I get the following errors:

"The server did not respond in time. Make sure that the server is up and running."
AND
"There is currently no media available to stream. For a complete description of the steps required for media streaming, please click the help button in the top right."

I changed the HTTPS port back to TCP 443 from TCP 50443 and these errors go away and I can see all of my media and stream everything.

Is there a way that I can get this to work over TCP 50443?

Thanks!

I'm not sure that I fully understand why you are connecting to TMS via an https web address but anyway... The WHS devices seem to do things there own way!

Is the problem not just because you haven't opened up port 50443 on your router. 443 was probably already opened as it's the standard port for https but any non-standard ports will need to opened up.

There is also a httpremoteport parameter in the ini file for TMS so you could try setting that.

Can you try http://<ip-of-server:port>/rpc/get_all and post the results? Mask anything that equates to usernames, passwords and keys first though.
