Proxy to a Proxy.....

Bubblegum,

Just want to say first off that your APPS are GREAT !!!

So I am still trying to find a way to access my Home DLNA server over VPN (Windows PPTP) with my Tablet PC from work over the Internet. Currently using network shares when I am at work - but tha does not allow me to use the full power and flexibility of my DLNA server and transcoding, etc. Plus this is not a very efficient way to use a network.

My setup is a Windows XP Pro machine at home with Wild Media Server (WMS) and Bubbleupnp Server. I have Bubbleupnp server running on my media server PC and setup to make a Proxy of WMS and make it available to BubbleUPNP on my Android and of course Foobar2000over internet

When I am not at home I do not actually go directly through the Internet - I use a Android PPTP VPN from my phone and Windows PPTP VPN from myh Tablet from work. On my Tablet PC I have XBMC installed. When I am at home all is well. I can access WMS UPNP media server directly or by proxy through Bubbleupnp Server - which actually works better - fixes some glitches.

As expected I cannot access the WMS or WMS Proxy when I am at work and connect to my home network over the Internet using Windows PPTP VPN. MULITICAST is just not supported. So I got an Idea to use Bubbleupnp server on my Tablet to see if I could get this all to work.

I installed Bubbleupnp server on my Windoes 7 (64x) tablet PC. When I am at home Bubbleupnp SErver on my Tablet sees WMS and WMS (Proxy) on my XP Media Server pc. I configured Bubbleupnp Server on my tablet to make a Proxy of WMS (Proxy) - which it then called WMS (Porxy) (Proxy). I then connected to WMS (PROXY) (Proxy) with XBMC and it works GREAT !!

So I was hopeful that when on VPN the BubbleUPNP Server on my Tablet would see the the BubbleUPNP server on my XP home pc where my media is archieved - but it does not. SO I am asking for a method/modification in BubbleUPNP Server for there to be some way for BubbleUPNP server on WIndows to be configured to connect to an other computer running BubbleUPNP server on Windows so it can see that remote Bubbleupnp server's DLNA Proxy's This is exactly what you must be doing with the ANdroid app that connects to the Server app. correct ????? Really does not need to be as fancy (at least for me) as the Android app. I already have a secure network conenction - so does not need to log in - just needs to make some kind of UNICAST network connection that is routable over the layer 3 Windows PPTP VNP connection.

I guess this could also be accomplished if there was a way for the FOOBAR2000 UPNP plugin you created to present DLNA proxy's on the PC that it is running ?????? I have FOOBAR2000 running on my Tablet - and I can connect to my DLNA server over Windows VPN just fine - but it lacks Video and Picture Support... plus really want a DLNA Media Center Type app to be the front end to my media - Foobar is just not designed for that purpose. If you make FOOBAR UPNP pluging able to present DLNA Proxy's on the local network - then you would not have to do anything to support Video or Pictures. If FOOBAR2000 UPNP Plugin could creaty DLNA proxys then the user could use any video, audio, pictuer renderer they wanted (like XBMC !!!) ???

Is both or either of these a possibility ????? Please ????

Thanks,

KJK
