Streaming from NAS away from home

Is it possible to stream movies from my NAS box (Netgear ReadyNAS Duo) over the internet when I am away from home.

I am using Infuse 2 Pro on my iPhone 4S.

I can see the movies on my iPhone if i use the ReadyNAS program RN Remote

 

Also, is it possible to update Infuse 2 to Pro on my Apple TV 2 running the latest 5.3 update

I can access my NAS based media by forwarding the SMB port (445) to my NAS in my router settings.  Once you have done that then you can point inFuse at the external address of your router to access files on your NAS and it will functon just as it would on your local network.  If you do not have a fixed external address for your router then you might need to look at using a dynamic DNS service (such as dyndns.org or something similar).

In terms of the ATV2, there is no concept of a ‘pro’ version of inFuse.   There is merely the ATV Flash (black) product which include inFuse for the ATV2.   This is a different (and more expensive) product to the one that runs on iPhones/iPads.

 

Thanks for that.

 I will have a go at forwarding the SMB port to my NAS tonight.

Same wish here, forwarded port 445 to my Synology NAS. Still can only enter it on my home wifi network. Other than that I can approach and open all items on the NAS, open and watch all movies on dsvideoon any network, but as it is ofcourse a far inferior player than infuse 2 I would like to do that with Infuse2. Love the app.

Hi All,

Same issue here.

Port forwarding done for tcp 445 139 & udp 445 138 137.

Everything works fine from LAN but nothing works from WAN :frowning:

May some firecore tech publish the official tcp and/or udp ports to open/forward in order to use infuse 2.2 from wan.

By the way firecore media player work is amazing, keep on the good attitude (member since 5 years…) :wink:

Once again hackers are the best developers… :slight_smile:

I just tried sucsessfully to do it.

I forwarded 139 and 445 TCP ports from my router to my SAMBA server and I had no issue to connect Infuse to my share.

 

I just wonder if there is any possibilty to use other ports in Infuse?

It is a bit scary to know that I now have a standard service open for all the Internet to see…

Still not working for me... 2.3 update?

I have the same problem: check if your ISP is blocking the ports. In that case there isn't much you can do...

Thanks leendersf but the NAS is a QNAP 469Pro and I can access my files using the Qfile application... so I don't think it's ISP related.

 

With Infuse, it works perfectly from the LAN but not from the WAN :(

 

I think that your application can connect without that port. Like some kind of VPN or through a different port. So you think it is open. To be sure check the port here: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and try to find out if your ISP blocks the port.

You were right leendersf. Port 445 is closed.

 

I guess I have to wait until inFuse may have an alt port settings...

Thanks.

I think it must be possible to acces Plex remotely now... But how!? Anyone?

Has anyone had any issues streaming from an FTP share? It’ll browse and pickup the thumbnails fine but when playing back any content the following pops up “an error occurred loading this content”. Over samba it’s fine.

I simply use SFTP. At home, my file server runs Samba so I use SMB. But I use SSH to remote from outside, and since SFTP is essentially built-in to the SSH server, it’s very simple for me to just add a new share to Infuse for SFTP, and I don’t need to forward any additional ports beyond the standard port 22 TCP that SSH uses.

Still no word on custom ports. My ISP also blocks 139, 445
