Slingplayer plugin not working2/21/2023 ![]() ![]() At you can see “Last Update Received” and various other internal network settings.įorce an update of the SlingBox credentials. Something on the WD TV Live appears to use cached settings on SlingBox’s backend services. Even though I found a solution, I will likely return this anyway for a true mini-ITX HTPC and recommend the same to others. To the folks at WD: I’m very unimpressed with the 3-second input lag, missing WDTV -> SlingBox remote control mapping, and lack of timely updates. I’m a techie merly passing through. I’m posting a workaround I found that may help others, but won’t be back to troubleshoot. Slingbox 350 - Port 5201 (using manual port forwarding and static DHCP lease, NOT uPnP) If I get no resolve on this, I will have to look at Sony and Roku. WD please address this for us soon as I am in need of another device to make a TV “smart”. But then you’d think a simple reconnect would put you right back where you left off. The device timed-out / gave up waiting on me. It was only on a day that I paused the program I was watching and then left it that way for an hour or so that the problem began. I then moved the boxed with me as I travelled in Jan and used it to access the slingbox for again several days and several hours with no problem using the WDTV. I actually successfully used the unit to access my slingbox 500 several days and for several hours over the holidays in December. Clearing the cache/data option also does nothing to help with this. Sorry to hear you’re having the same problem, but must admit it could also be beneficial as since it’s not just me, perhaps WD will give the issue the attention it deserves.įYI - don’t waste your time with a factory reset or logging out of the sling account on the WDTV Live unit. Perhaps someone has a clue on how to correct this? I am away from home and hence my slingbox, but again, I am able to connect to it and stream TV just fine using two other means (PC and phone) so it doesn’t appear the slingbox is the issue anyway. Now I have done a factory reset on the WDTV Live unit and started completely over (after wiping cache data to see if that would help). I believe the issue to be in the WDTV Live unit as a result. I can view it just fine on both my PC and phone as I could prior to this issue. Notes: Yes, my slingbox is ON and working. attempts to start streaming - this step is the one which is usually followed by “optimizing stream…” but I get the timeout message. I get the error code 10003 from a timeout. Now I can no longer get the player to stream from my Slingbox. Yesterday I left the player on and unattended for about an hour. I was using the WDTV Live’s Slingplayer just fine for several days. ![]()
