movieplayer for DK 1.1 Image

[birkenhead]

I use Gemini 4.2 with the VLC Frontend Plug-in.
Is this Plug-In compatible with DK images?

If so you could try that?

People seem to have problems with it, but it works a treat for me!

Used the plugins from PB site, it don't work correctly, go to the point it loads the film to 100%, then it crashes out as if something is missing in the IMG or the plugin may not be loading correctly? you was right by editing the .xml.

Oh well just maybe Devilfish might look at this in th next update.?

The Gemini 4.2 is this OK to use with the clone DM500?

Hi Birkenhead,

Shame you can't get it to work on DK Image!! Like you say maybe Devilfish could look at it. He seems to be our resident genius when it comes to all things dreambox.


Yeah Gemini 4.2 is OK on clone DM 500c. I have a clone and it works just fine.

Finally got this to work.

The only problem now! it isn't showing the movie list as a filing system! its blank! nothing?
Yet, if i move the button on the remote up/down at the bottom of the page (on the TV) it show the movies titles. plays fine.

how i did it... its confusing, but i loaded Gemini 4.2.IMG into the temp, renamed it to root.cramfs, installed it via software updates (Main Menu), tested the plugin worked fine.

Then placed the DK.img into the temp, renamed it to root.cramfs, installed it via software updates (Main Menu). bingo everything back to normal

tested plugin working plugin VLC frontend.

Now the Gemini IMG must of installed something at was missing in DK IMG, some were in the var folder, what in it or been added i dont know.

Updated, now working 100%, Full listing and everything, must say it works better than on the dbox2... when on the dbox2, on occasions it would buff.... freeze for a sec or two, now it smoother better and faster, the buffing on the dbox2 is because the CPU @67mhz struggles at time to handle the streaming, on the 500C it much better and faster.

The list problem was because the icons was placed in the wrong folder, the correct path is as follows /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/pictures/vlcf/

Very happy chappy.

Nice One Birkenhead!!

I'm pleased you got it working!!

Maybe now I can give DK Image a go? The only reason I use Gemini is for this plug-in.

Hi there. I've been using VLC frontend plugin on the DK image since I installed it. (I was previously using it on Gemini 4.4) It works great for me. The only thing to note is that it seems to prefer VLC version 0.86 running from PC. The latest version of VLC seems to run into issues. Also remember once you've amended the vlcf-original.xml file with your own server settings to re-name and save it as vlcf.xml in the config folder. Hope that helps!
