I set up portforwarding and made sure UnPnP was turned on in my router. I can get audio to stream and I can get video to work when viewing from my laptop, but on the 770 it just opens mediaplayer, then nothing. BTW, I am running Vista on the server.

Any tips would be appreciated.
In fact, I've never been able to get Orb to work as advertised. Vista may indeed have something to do with it, but the inconsistencies are more related to the beta nature of the project. Sometimes I've been able to get video to work, sometimes just the audio, and sometimes neither. I've never gotten live TV to work (in spite of the promise) and my contacts with the support desk, while somewhat helpful, have never solved these problems. They told me to re-install Orb, which I did, but with no improvement, alas
