--- Comment #7 from Anastasius Focht focht@gmx.net --- Hello folks,
I don't think it's worth repeating the request over and over again. Slingbox/SlingPlayer is dead.
https://www.slingbox.com/discontinued
--- quote --- Q: How long will my Slingbox continue to work?
A: Slingbox servers will be permanently taken offline November 9, 2022, at which point ALL Slingbox devices and services will become inoperable.
Until then, most Slingbox models will continue to work normally, but the number of supported devices for viewing will steadily decrease as versions of the SlingPlayer apps become outdated and/or lose compatibility. --- quote ---
As Ken indicated in his initial comment, the issue can't be reproduced without an actual Slingbox.
It might be possible to trick the player into seeing a Slingbox just to get the config menu up. Since the vendor abandoned the product, reverse engineering the protocol of a dead product/technology would be wasted time.
The client sends out broadcast to UDP port 5004 to detect Slingboxes on the local network. Poor man's listening server just for demo, doesn't do anything:
