look like very easy to set, (IP and loggin/pass)

after decompress and register the "DBOXIISource.ax"
the program is ready to work (check options)

the quality is not like DVD but very satisfy with it! (no loose of frames)
click and record direct to your PC in MPG2 format

thx, i suggest to all to test it,

f you use more than one PC at home you can watch from any station.

i confirm
that way is easy and work.

Using DREAMBOX 500 S

i successful added Hard disk and start record, but!

i try all top procedure step by step without success, maybe it's not clear, but some information are not so clear
(For me because I am not Uk)

The fact is, where we need to go and what is needed to insert as data!
I read about password, user privilege, ...

I use this simple way.
I share a hard disk drawer Dreambox, that drawer is located in on simple shared network PC.

when the drawer are shared a full rw for all user, you don't need any privilege, pass and other stuff..

On DreamBox

- configuration
- Configuration expert
- network, in this menu i use the MOUNT

You can read this information.
==========================
- IP: xx.xx.xx.xx (ip of the PC who share the drawer (dreambox)
- CIFS (not work with NFS because NFS is for Linux sharing client and it's not in use under XP
- DIR: dreambox (just the name of the shared drawer)
- LocalDir: /var/mnt/hdd
- Options: rw,soft,udp,nolock (it was already, i don't change)
- Extra: nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 (by default)
- User: root
- Pass: dreambox

I use SAVE (yellow) and then MOUNT (green)
A box show successful mount with OK.

Info of the dreambox show me the right information
- Blue Panel
- Info system
- - - POINT MOUNT

I can read my hard disk information correctly.
================================

Now the result.

I successful record directly to my hard disk in real time using the web interface where just with click the RED (record) button the selected channel are recorded to the hard disk, but two problem!

1. - the recording 'TS' are not so what I call good, some scratch images, jump sound, lost frames are in the record. (Even for free channel)

2. - using the web interface, when you go to the MOUNT device window, every refresh window added 1 or 2 mount in existing device!
My list was increase always and infinity until i disable the mount on my dreambox and deleted manually all pseudo mounts one by one via Web.

Note: you can access Dreambox web interface via IExplorer,
just type the IP of your dreambox in link (http://Http://192.168.x.x)

Some info about my specification:
======================
BoxType: Dreambox 500 S
Boardrev: 06
Kernel: Linux 2.6.9
Version 3.4.0 (Gemini project)

thx to all for your help.

original file name = passwd
find on - var/etc/

inside you can read this

Zitat

root:V26.Uf.kSvoYg:0:0::/:/bin/sh
sshd:*:65532:65534::/:/bin/false
ftp:*:65533:65534::/:/bin/false
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:/bin/false

probably this mean dreambox = V26.Uf.kSvoYg

note: i use DM500 s

By default all know the original log/pass of the Dreambox
root
dreambox

I use personal password to protect intruder via ftp or http.

My personal password was inserted long time ago and at this day i can't remember, today finally i found the solution.

Thx to add-on TUBOX COMMANDER (TuxCom)
Without access from any other place, that tool is great, it’s a full internal DM explorer and you can edit any files on your DM.

Navigate to var/etc and there is the password file
passwrd

I edit and change the first line with this
root:V26.Uf.kSvoYg:0:0::/:/bin/sh

That restores the root/dream box original password
