ESS 9 how to open ports for viewing media streams?

[Amigaman 0]

Hi

 

I've been told that I need to open some ports in my firewall and after a bit of searching around I eventually found where you guys have hidden the Firewall Rules... why a button to them is not on the main GUI I really don't know.

 

I need to open these ports:

• 1935
• 443
• 80

and have made a rule to do just that (which doesn't work) and if I enable the firewall I get this error:

Error Code:
VE_FMS_CONNECT_FAILED

 

with the firewall disabled the OnDemand TV streams play fine

 

I tried to follow the Eset help file for ESS 8 (unable to find support for ESS 9) but I don't know how to check if ESS 9 is implementing the rule to keep those ports open and even if it is it's still blocking something required to make the stream handshake with the browser.

 

this is the stream I wanted to watch:

hxxp://dave.uktv.co.uk/shows/8-out-of-10-cats/

 

this is the their help page

hxxp://admin.brightcove.com/connect_failed.html

 

does Eset have a tool or web page that checks for open ports?

 

many thanks for reading

Creating an "allow" rule with the said ports set as local ports. As for remote ports, you might want to specify a subnet or IP range that will have communication with the media server permitted.
