DM500 Dreambox to laptop>streaming but no video

[s.ahmed]

Hi,
I have the dw 1.6.5 image on my box and have dreambox viewer, FISCstream and vlc media player installed on my laptop.

All these players connect to my dreambox 500c no problems, but do not show video or hear sound. All the players say playing and display the dreambox ip, but still no picture or sound.

I think im close to be able to view the stream from my DB to my laptop but as i am new to this i feel i'm missing something.

Can anyone advise me further?
Any help appreciated, Thanks in advance.

I also failed to stream from the web interface, but no problem streaming using 'mFaraj DB viewer 3.0.1' downloaded from this site.(Think i found it or link anyway)
Havent time to look for link now, but it works so do a search for it -worked a treat for me!

BTW - using Dk1.1 image
didn't try with DW images yet

I have mfaraj dreambox viewer version 4, but even that doesn't show video for me.

Do i need to install anything on the dreambox such as vlc frontend or similar?

If so my image doesn't have an option to download, can i install it manually via ftp?

I have heard that you can stream the video to the pc but i heard that you might have to have a plugin in installed for explorer to decode the images had a dreambox and tried it but had no look either

Thanks for your interest in my program
db viewer depend in specific codec to display the video and the program install the codec at first run and this process should not be inturrubted
re-install the program again and this could fix the proplem

When there is error the program show the error and generate log file,if this happaned please send to me the log file to analyize

lastly be certain about dreambox username and pasword used with the program

Works for me perfectly using DigitalkaosV1.1, I didnt load any addons to the image, but the version is not as new as v4 its v3.?.?, will confirm 2night for you, not at home now!

Ok, I a have uninstalled mfaraj DB player installed codecs and reinstalled the DB player.

Still the same, all connected well, a stream seems to be taking place but no video or sound.

I figure that maybe its not compatable with the DW 1.6.5 image because it seems to work fine for all using DK1.1.

I prefer the DW image as it does an indebth scan and picks up more channels than the faster scanning of DK1.1.

Can anyone comfirm whether they have a working video stream on the DW 1.6.5 image or tweaks to make it happen?

The mfaraj db player tested with gemini and edg nemesis image with good results i don not know about other images,still confirm that mfaraj db viewer need accurate dreambox password to be given and i want to ask you if there is any error message in the program or the channels shown without video streaming.
other things needed for the program at least directx 9,windows media player 9 and average graphic card quality

The problem was the DW 1.6.5 image, although by far the easiest to configure and understand.
The DW image would not let the dreambox stream the video to pc.
I have changed over to the DK1.1 image, slightly more complex than DW but a really good image that has no probs streaming to Mfaraj player or any others.

Thankyou for your help though.

Flash erased DW 1.6.5 ad reflashed with DK 1.1.

Had a problem with the nagroms, which were placed in the var/keys on image DW 1.6.5.

On the DK 1.1 image you must download the link provided:

http://rapidshare.com/files/186278803/db_keys_and_scce.zip

[s.ahmed]

Then:
Delete the contents of the /var/keys and /var/scce folder on your box.

Copy the contents of the keys folder in the rar to /var/keys and the same with the scce folder to /var/scce.

Go to sky sports 1, press MENU > SHUTDOWN > reboot now

When it reboots, flick to sky sports 2, wait 5 secs, the flick back to sky sports 1. Wait until the channel comes on.

Worked for me, thanks to all here.

Also would this be possible to use the remote to view the on screen display ie press ok to view BOUQUETS and menus the reason is i use the pc to watch the dreambox and use a remote control eye sensor to change channels on this as the dreambox is in the living room pc in bedroom, So i could change channel with out getting out of bed LOL(idel i know) i can use the remote to change channel now using your app just wonded if possable to view on screen display now that would be terific if not possible thats fine as this is a great app anyhow

Thanks dedge_10 for your interest in my program
I made the program for myself the decided to share it with others
i am not profissional programmer and usually programming for fun in my extra time
i know there are some proplems but most of the proplems are from dreambox itself because not constant stream information are emitted from it so this cause unusual behavior for the program
the program gains popularity because it manages dreambox stream more efficient than vlc-based programs although i like VLC and my next program dream2web streamer depends on VLC for redirection of video stream to web to receive and view your dreambox channels anywhere in this world.
although i just have puplished copy of the program for enigma2 dreamboxes(dm800) and it is noticed that no proplems which seen with that for enigma 1 dreamboxes because enigma2 structure is more effecient in sending stream informtion
soon i will release version 5 for enimga 1 and 2 with more effective recording as well as ability to stream video beyond lan
