Streaming from dreambox to pc with Pcd 7.0 image

  • Hi,


    Some users have reported problems with streaming tv from dreambox to pc. The following procedure works :-


    On dreambox :


    Delete folder /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/Webinterface


    Ftp the attached .ipk to /tmp and install via Menu-Extra Setup-Addon Manager-Manual install. Restart enigma2.


    On pc :


    Install Vlc 1.1.9.


    Find the program VLC hosts file (in windows usually) C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\http\.hosts. Put in your dreambox ip as shown (without #).


    Start VLC media player. Select tools -> Preferences -> All (radio button) -> Interface - Main interfaces -> HTTP


    Select HTTP -> insert in Host address :8080


    Next select Input/Codecs -> Access modules -> HTTP(S) -> Caching value in ms -> insert 800


    Save and Restart VLC.


    Start web browser (example IE) and insert your dreambox url.


    Select the small tv icon for the currently playing tv channel. Select open.


    I checked the following channels (for example) :-


    30w - TV Record, Cubavision
    13e - TV Globo, Yakir TV
    19e - RTL Television, RTL2, Super RTL, Vox
    28e - BBC 1 London, BBC 3


    Regards, pcd.
