Installing on your Dreambox

If your image has an Addons menu, copy the .tar.bz file to the /tmp folder on your box and install via the Manual Install option in your Addons menu.

If it doesn't have this function, extract the files to your Desktop using WinRar and copy the files to the proper folder locations using your FTP client.

Great plugin for access newsreels from internet sites.
Edit the \var\tuxbox\config\rss\feeds.xml file if you want to add new feeds.

Installation

I am trying to install Tuxbox commander so I can access the password file on my box, does anybody know can I install itfrom a USB memory stick? The blue panel doesn't let me see any plugins btw, despite having definite internet connectivity...

What dreambox do you have?

You can't add files via usb if you don't have tuxbox commander installed.

You need to connect the box to your PC and use an ftp client to transfer files to the box. If you are going to do this, you can check the config file this way instead of using tuxbox commander.

I want to use the tuxbox comander to get in my dreambox is that a good idea??

[Devilfish]

Why not use a normal FTP program. You will need an ftp program to install these plugins anyway so it would be easier.
