Dbox and vlc

[Skiboy]

Hi guys, Im trying to set up vlc with the dbox, following all the instructions as per the sticky...but when I try to view movies on the movieplayer it says, connect failed...do I have to do anything on vlc for dbox settings ie ip of dbox or anything Im missing.
and does this work via router.


cheers

Just set it up as you would for Flashing
Acsess can be gained via a router or direct
Via a crossover cable
Recomend you use the Latest version of Vlc
Audio still aprob on PPv Channels
OK on FTE Though............Paul

when you go to movieplayer, are you getting the list of films up, or is that where its saying its failed?

You need to create a shortcut to vlc on your desktop,then right click on the shortcut and select properties,then add this to the end of what it says in the target box " --extraintf=http --sout-transcode-fps 25 " without the quotes but there is a space at the begining.
Then save/apply,now when you want to stream click the vlc shortcut on the desktop and leave it running then do as you did with the movieplayer before.


Thanx to Wizz for this .....Paul

Have you been into network settings
And Mounted you network in the correct dirrectory mnt/ c/movies
Have you got the c/movies folder shared
Run VLC befor starting
And start movies in VLC
On your D Box.....Paul
