Method 1 - the get_iplayer.cgi.cmd in c:\program files\get_iplayer contains the line perl.exe get_iplayer.cgi --port 1935 --listen=127.0.0.1 --ffmpeg .\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe --getiplayer .\get_iplayer.cmd This will only listen on the local loopback interface. Change to --listen= to --listen=0.0.0.0 that should listen on all interfaces. You should then be able to connect from a remote machine using http://xx_ip:1935/ in your browser Where xp_ip is the ip address of your XP machine. There is no restrictions on who can connect. (you may want to take out the .\pvr_manager.url from pvr_manager.cmd to stop the startup of the browser on the XP machine). You then need to use streaming to play the downloads, rather than the normal play. Method 2 - install cygwin ssh on both machines or another SSH sever/client, run the sshd server on the xp machine, then ssh -L 1935:127.0.0.1:1935 username@xp_ip Then your other machine can use http://127.0.0.1:1935/ the traffic is tunneled through the ssh connection. This is a more secure way, a lot more work to set-up.
