How to see your divx on dreambox

[alunfennell]

you a need:

-a pc
-a dreambox or a linux based box
-ethernet cable
-video files...
and these softwares(attached in this post)

Note please,this will work on every box except dm5600 and 7025.

Now follow these steps on your pc


-Install on your pc VLC Media Player 0.8.1
-after the installation go on your desktop and on the icon of the program go to property-destination and add this line after the words already wrote "--intf wxwin --extraintf=http" .
-start vcl from the same icon you have edited
-go to settings-preferences-input on Server port write 8080 and save this change
-open the file xml of vlc client 0.2.3
-on "server ip" write the ip of your pc on "config stardir" the path where are the files you want see on your box
-save these changes

ON your dreambox

-copy the files of vcl client 0.2.3 in this way(by a ftp software):

"vlc.xml" on "/var/tuxbox/config"
"vlc.cfg" and "vlc.so" on "/var/tuxbox/plugins"

-go on your dream and open the plugins area(often the yellow button)and open "VideoLanClient"...now you can see all the files of that folder.
