[Solved] CAN'T DOWNLOAD FILE FROM EXTERNAL URL

[mfjchile]

Hi, please help.

I can't download files from external url like before.

 

the function file_get_contents() is not working as before, i'm getting the error:

"failed to open stream: Connection refused"

 

i understand this could be a firewall block level, so please check it out.

Thanks!

Can you post the full URL of the file being downloaded?

 

Connection refused usually means either the remote server is broken/blocking us (not our problem, you'd need to contact that server's owner) or the port you're connecting on is blocked (outbound connections are supported on all standard ports)

Hi !

this is the url, is an iptv m3u list that i want to copy on my heliohost to get compatility with OttPlayer

http://tecnotv.club

 

this url in his header contains a location redirect to domain:

http://plexonline.club:25461/get.php?

to generate and deliver the list in m3u format

 

maybe i need to open the outbound port 25461 of the domain plexonline.club

 

 

Thanks for the fast reply!

That's likely the issue. We don't allow outbound connections on port 25461...

 

Krydos might be willing to open this for you. Let's see what he says.

Looking at that site a bit further makes me wonder if this should even be approved.

 

I suspect that site may be distributing or linking to pirated movies/TV, which is against our Terms of Service.

I know a guy that uses plex, and it is indeed piracy. OP, if you have proof that what you're doing isn't piracy let us know and I'll take another look.
