Anyone a big thankyou to everyone for there help, and special mention to kaos who is allways willing to advise even though the question may have been asked before,

Thanks again kaos!!

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. ?

i have the dream 500c with a dw2 image, and would stream from pc to downstair s dream box/tv. if that information helps.

[bash]

the connection would be ethernet.

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.
