Re: Could not detect URL for Internet Connection

Yes, you're missing that the IP address is irrelevant to the encoder!

It's important to the server or player end in order to connect to the
encoder IP+Port, but not really a useful feature where that data is
available more reliably in other ways.

There doesn't seem to be a way to input the IP address into that field. Am I
missing something?

Under the connections tab we see: Internet - "Could not detect connection".
It detects the LAN but not the Internet URL.

We can see the URL of our IP using RUN/CMD/Ipconfig.


WME almost never detects the correct external IP if you're behind a
router. I'm not totally clear what results in a successful IP
identification, it would need to do some sort of low level tracert
command to get the next-hop IP address.

The easiest way is just to use one of the more reliable IP checking
sites to determine this, such as www.whatismyip.com
