My opinion is that Sling Media is and has always been aftaid of repercussions from the content providers about their copyrighted material. The 1.5 + version is the last version that connects you directly with your Slingbox and does not require accessing a server to obtain your content
#Slingplayer plugin not working upgrade
No, I refused to upgrade to Sling Player 2.0+ because that version started making you go through Sling Media's servers and being naturally suspicious I don't trust them not to sell my viewing choices to the various rating agencies, such as Nielson. I also have a on off timer which powers down the slingbox for 45 minutes every day. My next issue were disconnects and you can follow this link which has given me 99% uninterrupted streaming. Finally we had to go and change the modem parameters for it to work properly. I had this issue that anyone in the usa could stream flawlessly but i was getting errors here in thailand and couldnt log in. This way you can know for sure which end the problem is on. I have been through these issues and you are going to have to run sling player set up on the other end or have someone with a known working win 7 version working test and confirm it for you then change your password. Installing Slingplayer on Win7, no matter what compatibility mode I use, Firewall on or off, it just will not stream properly. I can connect without issue on XP, which I used for the initial SlingBox Solo installation. ġ440kbs now am now dual booting my system, XP and WIN7 Ultimate. Sounds like you have a port forwarding issue on the sling box end. Thanks for the suggestions.much appreciated. I have no problems in XP with the SlingPlayer and the XP firewall.
#Slingplayer plugin not working install
I am beginning to feel it is, quite possibly, a firewall issue and I need to install something other than Norton360 or the native Win7 firewall. I probably should post a question there as well. The placeshifting site is interest, I do not see the answer there. I've been on the Slingbox support site, posted my issue and looked at everything. Have you tried SlingPlayer ? Wonder if you would have problems. Since they cover the whole area and have a Slingbox owners subforum

You might want to go to this web site where Sling box owners offer self help, since like others have said, Sling support is useless Hope you have someone in the US that can turn it off and then back on again since it needs an occasional re-boot if you cannot connect

In fact am up in CM and using it on the hotels WiFi watching Monday Night Football with no problems I am using version 1.5.0.325 with Win 7 Home Premium with no problems. What version of the Sling Player are you using ?
