Depends on where you going to stream to.

Is it on the Net,? for others to see , thats a bit dodgy..


If you just want to stream to PC or PC`s in your house, then thats ok.

Helps if you say what box you got ? what image ? and how your connected to your box . Wired or wireless as well. ?

You need to set up a mount on the dreambox to point to a shared folder on your PC.

The dreambox will only play MPEG movies on it's own so if you want to play a divx/xvid/avi, etc the file will need to be converted to MPEG before streaming. Or you can use VLC to transcode the file into MPEG before streaming.

Use the File Mode option to browser your shared folder.
