    Streaming to the dbox2

    hi does anybody know whats happening with my streaming set up
    i had the pc streaming through vlc 0.7.2 to the movie player in the dbox2 very good picture then it froze after 5 mins and now no matter what i try it is just a black screen

    i can see the video files on my pc using the dbox movie player it just now wont play them, strange as it was working, any ideas

    also does anyone know if the latest versions of vlc will work with the dbox

    thanks

      Latest version will work m8. Your firewall's not blocking it is it ?

      THE TRUTH
      The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
      Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
      The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

              Strange one that m8. Maybe try unmounting and remounting. Or give latest VLC a try. I have just reinstalled Vista and loaded latest vlc and it works fine .I had a problem with it buffering after 5 mins and going off last time, but everythings ok now

                      i have put the latest version of vlc 0.9.8a on and now it wont connect at all, were i could see the video files before but got no picture in ver 0.7.2 i cant now get a connection at all

                      i press, "play a video file with vlc" and i get
                      a black screen with a blue bar at the top that says
                      Filebrowser vlc://c:/movies/
                      but no Directory

                      but thats it and if i press, Play DVD i get

                      Error
                      Cannot connect to the streaming server

                      yet vlc plays my D:/ (dvd drive) on the pc no problem

                      ------------------

                      i have vlc running and have added the extension vlc --extraintf=http --sout-transcode-fps 25
                      to the short cut

                      i have mounted it

                      is there any settings in vlc i should be setting as i cant find any that make a difference
                      THANKS

                          I have managed to get the pc to stream to the dbox ONLY TOOK 15 HOURS, it was the audio setting ac3 to avi that was stopping it from comming on.

                          Next stage
                          -------------------
                          has anyone got a tutorial on how to get the dbox2 to play the mp3s from the pc

                          thanks DV
