Streaming from Computer to Dreambox

**Izekreem** · 10th March, 2009, 09:35 AM

How do I stream Music and Movies from my Cpu to my Dreambox DM800?

**askme** · 13th March, 2009, 01:54 AM

Hi,

Few of the channels are streaming audio but no video, they are using MP4 codec.
I am using DM500 and running latest Gemini Image (maxvar). I am not sure how to update the codec on it?
any idea? thanks

you do not need to down load any programs to play avi dix on your dreambox.
simply open web browser type
http://192.168.x.x (change x.x to your dreambox ip)
enter: root / dreambox (unless you have chaned it i do reccommend that you do!!!)(can not be done here)
click on stream on the left hand side bottom.
click on settings.
click on edit server settings now change this to you pc ip , then put the path in for your films eg
C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\movies (put yours in not this 1 !) set dvd drive letter.
go to dreambox press yellow button, plugins, press movie player and away you go....
you have all you need ......

Can you stream to the older boxes (7000 and 500) in this way,it would save me loads of time having to burn films to dvd's?

Yes you can. All files will have to be converted to MPEG 2 format though.

**tatsat** · 11th October, 2009, 03:33 PM

Cant find movie player plug in though using Dreambox 7000 and Gemini 4.6 and cant find it to download.

Mp4 files in Windows media player

as the link in alunfennell post on page 1 on this thread is dead and you still want to play Mp4 files in Windows media player install the small codec Mpegable DS Decoder below

Code:
