Streaming from Computer to Dreambox

[Izekreem]

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

[askme]

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?

[cgscott]

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

[tatsat]

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

does it work on a 500hd ? tried a few times with no results

[garry1312]

The way I have it set up on my DM500 is with no programs downloaded its simple. Set up a network mount if you have not already done so.

Then from there save your mp3's and Movie files in to there. Then from your dreambox press Menu then go to 'File Mode' go to the mount and you can select your movies and music from in there. It works great and im surprised no one else has mentioned it on this thread.

Saves downloading programs, or going about long winded ways. I know that it supports mp3 and AVI and im sure it other formats but cant really check at the moment as all i have in there is mp3 and avi.

Give it a try and let me know how you get on.

[garry1312]

sorry mate this way only accepts mpeg files, mp3 and jpg. was looking in the wrong file and lack of sleep due to being a new dad lol.

but this is still a great way of doing it if you have a fast avi to mpeg video convertor.
