Headphones Host Name / IP Question

[bzowk]

Hey Guys -

I hope this is a good place to ask this. I couldn't find a forum dedicated to Headphones but if you know of one I need to post it on, please let me know...

I have a quick question about Headphones, please. I have Headphones set up on my Windows 8.1 x64 system alongside SABnzbd, NZBDrone, and CouchPotato. I've also added a 3rd party SSL certificate that I purchased to each of these as I sometimes connect to them while outside the network via forwarded port. The SSL cert is tied to a domain name: (Ex: domain.com). I also created a local DNS record in my router to point my domain name to the local IP of the computer hosting the apps so I could use universal links.

After adding it to SABnzbd, NZBDrone, and CouchPotato plus forwarding ports, I had no issues connecting to them inside or outside using my domain name:port. I cannot get Headphones to work the same way, though. If I keep it's default IP set to 0.0.0.0 with SSL, I can connect to https://127.0.0.1:8181, but not https://domain.com:8181 or https://192.168.0.20:8181 (local ip of server) (Trying all of this from the PC hosting the apps.)

I tried changing HeadPhone's IP in config.ini from 0.0.0.0 to domain.com, but Headphones failed to start as the log said it couldn't bind the port. I changed it to 192.168.0.20 (local IP of PC) which did work, but when I try the domain name, it doesn't (even though it resolves to the same ip.)

Any ideas on how I can use a "universal" shortcut with my domain name and HeadPhones? Thanks!

First things first: first make sure it works on your LAN

Measurement: open a "CMD" box and type this command (while headphones is running on 8181, right?):

Code: Select all

netstat -aon | find /i "8181"

Post the output here
