Slingbox Issue (After Root)

Post by andrewclement »

Hello,

I recently purchased the HiSense Pulse, and rooted it.
I am having issue loading the Slingbox Web app.
It says my "Device Isn't Supported".

Any known Solutions?

Well just a stab in the dark, but its probably looking at the Chrome User Agent, Slingbox is just the web interface through Chrome correct? I suppose it could be the modified flash but I'm saying its likely the user agent. In which case you can change it back.

Modifying Chromes User Agent--
Open Chrome on the Pulse
Click the Menu button (Between Web and FN)
Choose Settings
Choose Advanced Settings
Click on "Under the Hood" in the left panel
Scroll down to the User Agent section and switch it back to default.

Doesn't work on any gtv except revue. They made a special version just for the revue.

I have a slingbox pro and the Hisense Pulse works good with the app in the spotlight page. I was going to root the Pulse, but if the slingbox will not work any long I probably will not root it. Does anyone know that if the Pulse is rooted, and when I want to use the slingbox app with the Pulse, if I change the User Agent back to generic will the Pulse work with the slingbox again? :? :roll:
