streaming files from pc to dreambox, a little help needed

[chazkelly1985]

hi, im struggling to watch files from my pc onto my dreambox

iv tried to see if i can find an answer on the forums but im dont seem to get anywhere

iv downloaded and instaled VLC on to my laptop

iv downloaded and installed the vlcf on my dreambox (500s)

and i can get to the vlcf_original.xml file through dcc

but thats where im starting to have problems

from the sticky Streaming .avi Films From PC to Dreambox/TV it tells me i need to put in my pc ip address which is 192.168.1.64 so it looks like this below

<server name="set1" ip="192.168.1.64" webif-port="8080" stream-port="9090" user="admin" pass="admin" /> <!-- you can use max 4 server and config sets -->
<server name="set2" ip="192.168.1.64" webif-port="8080" stream-port="9090" user="admin" pass="admin" />
<server name="set3" ip="192.168.1.64" webif-port="8080" stream-port="9090" user="admin" pass="admin" />
<server name="set4" ip="192.168.1.64" webif-port="8080" stream-port="9090" user="admin"


i think iv set this bit up right, but not sure, can anyone tell me if this bit is right?

then i change one of the config lines which iv put to my dvd drive on ly laptop

<config name="set1" startdir="c:/Films" cddrive="d:" />


is this right?

lastly i try to open vlc player and do the instructions in the sticky but i have problems here as well

here is what it wtells me to do in the sticky

4. Start VLC on your PC and select File>Open Network Stream
Select UDP/RTP
Tick box Stream/Save and select settings
Tick box HTTP and enter your Dreambox IP 192.168.???.???
Click OK and OK to close both windows
On VLC, select Settings>Add Interface>Web Interface
Leave VLC running on your PC

i open the vlc player and click on media => open network stream i dont get UDP/RTP i get one or the other (but when i put in http, it then asks me for username and passowrd which i put in, but then nothing happens)

there is no box to tick and i cant find anything saying settings under any tab,

when i push the yellow button for the dreambox i do get the option of vlc frontend, but when i select this i get: no connection to vlc sever available

its only took me 11 hours but iv done it


after searching i found a program called play2dream

this program is really good, you install it put in a few details and then it loads it all up for you - if anyone on here is struggling to stream to the dreambox then this program for you, it is really good -

of to see what i ca do next on my new toy
