Streaming VOB files to DB500

[CaptainIglo]

Hi all,


is there a way to stream DVD files to the dreambox?
In that way i won't have to burn every dvd to play o the tv.

I already installed the VLC plugin on dreambox, but how do i browse to the files and play them?

At first:
what version of VLCFrontend did you have?
I use the 1.8
if you have installed it from Bluepannel in Gemini
get the VLCF.xml in var/tuxbox/config on your PC
open it with a Unix editor :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/XSLMPSettings.xsl"?>

the bright number is the IP of your PC
Put it back on your Dream and Restart it
then install VLC with the M3u Plugin (all features at best)
start Vlc on your PC and go to "settings--> settings-->interface-->Maininterface and set http
on "Interface codec" get your Port (8080) and the path to your DVD/CD Drive
Save it!

Pleas be assured that the bright codes be modified like you want!
restart Box and Pc start at PC VLC
then start on box VLCF and your startpath will be shown..

You can stream the ISO or IMG file of your DVD.

Problem is that i don't know how to proceed from the DVD menu where you can choose different options.
