I am having the same issue when accessing through an external IP. When connecting directly to the local router it works just fine, but when going through external IP with port forwarding set up it gives me the "Unable to get manifest file" error. It also shows the full filename with this error, so it is obviously getting feedback from the unit. Not really sure where the problem lies, any input? I can try to provide as much info as I can. This is in a conference room for a unit we don't have admin access to the unit. Our installer was able to get the Mobile Pro G app up and running locally, we are just trying to connect it to an external network.
This type of question may get better answers on the Yahoo Crestron forums. They have a lot of people that are much deeper with this type of information. While I use both the Crestron Application and Crestron Mobile Pro-G, I do not use either outside of my home network, and haven't played with it to know if it works, or is possible.
I just checked with a coworker, and he's using the Crestron App just fine. Point the Mobile application at your home IP address and ensure port forwarding is turned on and ensure the port is open. Typically port 41794 (or similar). As long as your aren't pointing the application towards an internal IP address, you should be fine.
Like said above you can port forward port 80 or you can simply change the http port within your Crestron Processor and then forward that port through your router. Enabling local file would work as well but then if a graphics change was made you would have to load the file onto your mobile device rather than just into the internal memory of the processor.
