thx for your reply.

You are right, allowing "anonymous" connections fixed the Avi issue.
I tried TPgen too fast first time. Now I got it working.

thx!

RAWR-Designs / Problems with ToG 4.0.2

« on: July 22, 2009, 03:57:37 AM »

I'm using Thunderchicken of glory 4.0.2 template.

I'd like to know if there's a way to have Divx player (or w/e what else) to preview pictures? The Preview icon is there but not enabled.

Also, I'm trying to play AVI files in Firefox and I get an error "The video cannot be reached (401 error) it appears the server is denying access to the file". But the same video works in IE
I guess there's a plug-in or something missing.

Mp3 are working.

I tried to go on stage6.com and I'm able to play videos

Thx

HTML & templates / Re: Playing mp3, videos and image in HFS

« on: July 21, 2009, 07:05:36 PM »

Well I tried to install HFS 2.3 (since it is required for RAWR template)

It doesn't work in Firefox anymore. It still works in IE though. When I try to hit "Open in Browser" it keeps loading for few minutes. Then it writes "done" but nothing has shown up.
I tried to update Firefox to 3.5, no results.

I change the template to the default one. Same issue. I put back the HFS 2.2 and it works. Any clue why?

//edited, on IE it works for few minutes then it stops working. It shows an "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" error
after few minutes, I'm able to re-login and it works for few minutes again.

HTML & templates / Playing mp3, videos and image in HFS

« on: July 21, 2009, 03:35:08 PM »

hey guys.
             I'd like to know if it's possible to add a Video/mp3 player and image viewer within HFS. So ppl don't have to download every files. I'm quite sure it is possible as I just read
"Video Support in HFS using VLC ready". I'm trying to follow what your guys are saying but I get confused in the three first posts!! lol

I'm not really friendly with HTML language (to avoid saying "totally ignorant"). I'm currently using Live2 template. I (finally) succeed to add a "Folder Archive" link in it. But still, It took me around an hour or 2 to make it loll. Now you see how good I am with this language. I learn programming in C++, Delphi language few yrs ago. I did few HTML in high school (which is like 10 yrs ago).

I wouldn't mind using another template (less eye-candy) if it's what it takes to use that VLC player. But I saw some in the VLC thread that looks pretty cool.

Basically, I'd need to know step by step what to do to make it possible. Which version of HFS (I think I saw 2.3 Build #242) and VLC do I need.
Also, does VLC work as an Image viewer too?

Thanks.

Big news. For some reasons (still unknown). It started to work on port 81. (which is not forward in the firewall nor the router)
But maybe since it's a default port.

The only thing is, it takes an external connection attempt to make it work.

I ran the Self test, it wasn't working. My pal tried to connect to it and it works. Then the self test has passed .... Any1 knows why?
I can't access the HFS using the IP adress (even with the port). I can using Localhost though.

Thx again

And nope, I meant to allow incoming traffic, in fact, allowing external visitors to request a connection to your computer, to your HFS server more precisely. It's only your local port, others can request from any port.

So when the Firewall pop-up to allow HFS.exe, it probably allows it for Outgoing traffic only. Is there another port I have to forward or just the one I selected? I guess when you allow a proggy through the firewall, it must forward a port. I'll have to find a way to allows HFS.exe Incoming too. (I guess)

In your screenshot we can see the test on the 4437 from web5.u2-web.com, and we can see it's blocked as the title of the windows shows it.
I do it also and look at my logs, it shows requests on severals ports and also the right one (and test worked, but my logs shows "accepted connection" ^^).

How do you know the Website's name with the IP address? And why does it try on the port 4437, shouldn't it try only on my selected port and HFS's default (80,81,7000,8080,9000 etc) ?
I'll have to find a way to see "accepted connections" on my firewall. To see if at least the selected port is forward properly. I've tried with PortChecker but it seems to be checking for the router only.

Have you tried to just allow completely HFS (in/out) ? Then allow only incoming traffic ? Then only incoming on your unique HFS port ? (in your firewall settings)

As I was saying before, I guess not. How do I do to allows it full? The HFS port is ok though. I don't think that when I click the "allow" button on the FW it allows both In and Out traffic.

About the 7777 port, did HFS says that it was used by another application (try port 20000 or 25543 ^^), or it just didn't worked (dunno what to say...) ?

It makes me think that perhaps you configured some rules in HFS, like bans, listening on 127.0.0.1 or things that can do that it doesn't work... if this is the case, you could save all the ini, vfs and others created files, and test the selftest just after entering your choosen port at the top of HFS...

It just didn't work. It doesn't tell me that is used by another application. I tried both 20000 and 25543. I'll reinstall HFS just to see.
thx

First thx for the reply. Any ideas/suggestions are welcome
I already did the port forward in the router from the link you gave me.

However, I have HFS.exe allowed in the firewall. But there's no way to see which port or direction it allows by just pressing the "allow" button. I guess it allows it only for "Incoming" direction and would remain Block for the "outgoing". It could be the problem. The 1985 port is allowed on Both direction. I'll try using an Higher port, it worth the try

Then, for your firewall, it must allow hfs.exe to act as a server on the port you've choosen (with TCP).
As HFS is a secure application, you can allow it to act as a client too, that way, it could check for a new HFS version at the launch.

Just to make sure, by "acting like a server", you mean to allow the Outgoing direction on the port right?

Thx

// edit: I tried with port 10000 and It was already forward by the firewall for some default feature. Didn't work. I tried with 7777 (which is Unreal's Port), still not working.
I set the HFS.exe to Ask for permission. When I use Self-Test, I can see the pop-up, even if I hit allow the test still fail. :s

router & port problems / Firewall block HFS even though it's allowed and Port Forward.

« on: July 18, 2009, 12:47:13 PM »

Hey guys, first of all congratulations on that cool program which seems to be useful, secure and easy to use.

I just download HFS yesterday and tried to walk through the guide but have some issues. I'm using a 2Wire 2701HG-B ADSL Modem/Router and a RadialPoint Firewall/Anti-virus.

The point is: At first, I set the HFS port to 1985 (some random port). I allowed it in the router and in the Firewall. When the Firewall is off the Self-Test is working. When it`s on it doesn't.

So the port would be forward properly in the router but not in the Firewall! I tried to change the way it was forward playing with: TCP or/and UDP, Directions Both Side, changing the port to default 80, 8080. No matter what I do it keeps failing the Self-Test when the Firewall is on.

When the first popup appears (would you like to allow HFS to go on the internet) I click YES and I see it on my list of allowed progs. I'm kinda confused, does HFS uses other port or protocol than the one specified on the Main window? Maybe the firewall is blocking those kind of application, so I tried to Disabled/Enabled some default features. Still not working. I allowed several ports to host games already and never had problems.

Please help. Thx
Regards
