Roku Streaming

[AbeFM]

I've had issues streaming to two different roku's, remotely off site.

I've been able to stream to DSub (but only in RAW mode). Everything else (except Jukebox) seems to work fine - the server is a ubuntu v13.10 box
jetty-6.1.x, java 1.6.0_27, Linux (73.7 MB / 98.8 MB)
4.8 (build 3434) – April 17, 2013

and the rokus are.... roku 2 I think? I've been trying both the subsonic brand app and the other one. Both of them work fine (though I have to type in an IP address, it won't work with my name) except when I play videos, the screen goes blank for a bit, then returns to the selection screen.

I really can't buy the "channel" until it works, but if I could get it functioning, I'd be happy.

I'd also like to (and assume it's related) get streaming working in compressed streaming modes to my android phone - I assume I need a different transcode line, I'd done this in the past and it worked, but on a recent reinstall I lost what I was doing and can not for the life of me find the post here on the forums, I've looked on several occasions!

I'm not sure what additional information I can provide which will help here, I'm reasonably capable such that if you tell me what you need and point me to a tool to get it, I can handle it. If I had something else to go after, I would, but right about now I'm stumped.

I tried every external player mode, setting admin permissions for remote access account, turning on and off various transcoding routines, etc. I've really beat it up, checked that I had access from the same remote connection as the roku....

I think the key is none of the players work except in RAW mode - but any advice is appreciated. I checked and I DO have ffmpeg installed on the server.

I am running Subsonic on a headless ubuntu server install and I haven't had any issues using the default transcoding line.

I am, however, using the SubsonicTV Beta version. If you search for Subsonic TV in google, you should see the google group site for it. Might get better help asking there. I would give you the link here, but I can't get there from my work. They block that site.

I use my site name, not ip at home and outside of my lan, so I know that it works fine.

Thanks!!! It's so nice to have help. Checking out the google forums now.
