hi
first of all i want to thank you because we can finf everything about dreambox
i have one qst, how to setup VLC to view dreambox on my laptop ??or if you have another solution just tell me
thx a lot

[cardsharing]

You have to have VLC 0.8.6.c, that's the one that worked for me, the later version wouldn't work, or I just didn't have the patience to see it work.
Anyhow here is what I do:
-Logon to the Dreambox from your browser, so if your dreambox's IP is 10.0.1.25
then put that in the browser and put root for username and dreambox for password.
- Select Stream from the left column buttons
- Select Settings at the bottom of the screen
- A new window should pop up with a title of "Streaming Server Settings"
Click on Edit underneath the top header section "Server Settings"
- Enter your network PC's IP in the Server IP field ( thats the computer on the network with all your videos )
- Click Change
- Exit out of the Server Settings Window
- NOTE YOU SHOULD BE DOING THIS FROM THE NETWORK PC YOU WANT TO PLAY MOVIES OFF OF
- On the Stream page, hit the BROWSE button that is on the same line with the FILE button and select the file you want to play from that pc
- Click the FILE Button and when an m3u file is downloaded to your pc make sure you open it with VLC
- on my pc it takes about 20 seconds for the streaming to show up on the Dreambox and so TV, it might take longer or less depending on your PC I believe. Anyhow hope this helps.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper partner who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Hi!
You may probably be very curious to know how one can manage to receive high yields on investments.
There is no need to invest much at first.
You may commense earning with a money that usually goes
on daily food, that's 20-100 dollars.
I have been participating in one project for several years,
and I'll be glad to share my secrets at my blog.

Please visit my pages and send me private message to get the info.

P.S. I earn 1000-2000 per daily now.

VLC 1.1.0 Release Candidate 1

ideoLAN and the VLC developers are proud
to announce the first Release Candidate of the 1.1.0 version of VLC.
This test release, aimed at power-users is a major update
on the current VLC 1.0.x branch. It includes numerous changes
modification and improvements, including GPU/DSP decoding, support for more formats and codecs and extensions.


Changes between 1.0.5 and 1.1.0-rc:
------------------------------------
Important changes for users:
* On Linux, known bugs in the ALSA library might prevent audio output.
Update to alsa-lib 1.0.24 or later, or use the PulseAudio output instead.

Important changes for packagers:
* The module cache has moved to ${libdir}/vlc/. The module cache can now be
generated at install time except if you use staged installation. In the
later case, you can generate the module cache in your post-inst script
by invoking 'vlc-cache-gen'. If the module cache is not present and vlc
can't write in ${libdir}/vlc/, it will result it vlc taking a long time to
launch each time.
* Most X11-related plugins now use XCB instead of Xlib. VLC now uses
- xproto,
- xcb, xcb-shm, xcb-xv, xcb-randr (from libxcb),
- xcb-keysyms (from xcb-utils),
- x11-xcb (from libx11) - only for GLX support.
* On X11 platforms, a _working_ version of xdg-screensaver is typically
required to inhibit the screensaver during video playback.

Access:
* Support for the sftp protocol
* Support for CDDB servers for Audio-CD on the Windows port
* New memory input (imem) access and access_demux module to feed VLC from data in memory
* New avio module to use libavformat capabilities for network streams, like rtmp://
