hello. i am running into a problem with accessing a video stream from outside of my home network. i am running a server application on the same windows 11 machine where i am running the channels dvr server. the application works great when i am on my home network in that it provides me with a video stream from my slingbox that i can access via vlc and also from channels when i add it as a custom m3u channel.
when i try to access it from my cell phone over lte it is timing out as per the logs below. i have forwarded the port on my router to the server application using a different port from which channels uses. i am also able to access the server application from vlc from my home network if i use the ip address from my isp.
is there any way to increase the timeout as it appears that this might be my problem.

if anyone is interested in using their slingboxes after sling shuts down in nov see this thread. this app works great and you will also be able to integrate it with channels GitHub - GerryDazoo/Slinger: Reuse SlingBox hardware without SlingBox Servers
