Slingfront stopped working?

[jillefsky]

Dear fellow SlingFront users,

Since today I haven't been able to reach my slingbox through SlingFront. I am wondering if anyone is having the same problem? Web viewer and sling media application works fine so it is definitely not a problem with the slingbox. I have also tried it in different machines, obtaining the same problem. Maybe SlingMedia have updated something in the system? I have been using SlingFront for over 3 years and never experienced this problem.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Where is it failing - when it loads your Slingbox directory (ie logging into your Sling account) or when connecting to a Slingbox?

Hi oviano,

Thank you for your quick reply. It turns out I just identified the source of the problem and it is my internet connection. I found it weird that out of a sudden I could also not watch videos in kodi., which I always could. So I made a hotspot from my iphone, and it turns out I can connect with slingfront and also Kodi works as normal. But If I go back to my cable internet, everything fails. Could it be the ISP is blocking all of this? A week ago I changed my internet speed in Vodafone from 16Mbps to 100Mpbs...

I am quite startled with this but if it does not go back to normal, then I will certainly complain.

KR,

Mário

It seems sttange they'd be blocking specific outgoing ports unless it's an attempt to restrict things like BitTorrent or something - does email and web browsing work as normal?

Have you tried simply rebooting your router/modem?
