All works ok, except for the slingbox, which cannot connect. As the Extreme is acting as a bridge, there is no 'port forwarding' option (but this was on when previously set up using Pipex, with the extreme as a normal router). I have switched port forwarding on 5001 on, on the Sky router (Sagem) settings, but to no avail - I get a 'can't connect' error. Can anyone help please? Away on Saturday and need it for the next week or two. Many thanks.

It would be very nice if the Mac Client could use the port to read inputs from my remote control and pass them through to the sling-box to control the device connected to my slingbox. That way I could use the remote control, instead of the keyboard/mouse. Or, how about a remote-app for my iPhone to control the sling client...kind of like the one for iTunes. Neither would need to be added to the sling client software directly; if an app was written to intercept the inputs (IR or iPhone) and map/pass them through to the client in some way...as rudimentary as passing keystrokes. I wonder if something like this already exists...will have to do a search.

And the placement of the actual image is off. The vertical resolution is fine however. Here is a picture here What I was hoping was that when I selected full screen the slingplayer window would be fullscreen on one of the monitors. The reason I want it like that (To give you a better sense of why I am trying to do this) is because I have 2 monitors. I have one on my desk and the other I want to put on my wall and use as a TV. I thought I would be able to click the Full Screen button SlingPlayer for Windows 2.0 Wed, 03 Dec 2008 01:00:01 GMT mrwhite http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/31863/Dual-monitors-When-I-select-Full-screen-horizontal-resolution-is-too-wide/#discussion?src=category_rss http://www.slingcommunity.com/forum/thread/31832/Slingplayer-2.0-fullscreen-problem-with-Hauppauge-remote-irremote.ini/?src=category_rss I used to control SlingPlayer 1.5 using my Hauppauge IR remote, a.k.a. the Hauppauge silver remote. The IR Remote driver maps my remote keys into keyboard keys and I was able to channel channels, etc. Everything works great until I upgraded to SlingPlayer 2.0. The IRRemote program detects the application base on the name of the window. Under Windows Task Manager, it shows the name as "SlingPlayer - xxx's Slingbox". That's no big deal, I can just update the title. But when I expand the SlingPlayer to full screen, it breaks. Inside Task Manager, the SlingPlayer application disappears. IRRemote cannot detect it and translate keys any more. Anyone in a similar situation?

Message reads: You are unable to watch the slingbox. Someone else is currently connected:- Description: Accoount: Admin IP Address: xxx.x.xx.xxx To take over control of this slingbox and terminate the current users'connection, please enter the Administration Password for this slingbox then click OK. .... I manage to take over control over the slingbox by logging in my Admin password. Q 1) How did someone else gain control of my slingbox? Q 2) How can I prevent similar occurence? Q 3) Would the previous version prevent this from happening?

The video feed is working because I can see it fine on my mac slingplayer remotely. For some reason the pc loses the video feed but still has perfect audio and is receiving a video signal because it is not giving me the "video signal not detected" alert... Hoe do I find it and lock it in?
