Hi
sorry this is the true link for 5.0.5 version

dreambx player and streamer 5.0.5

[ian1095]

ok this is much more stable and the channel lists now load on my 7020(sometimes).
maybe im being thick here but i cant figure out how to stream with this version.
i click on restream and vlc opens up and plays the channel that is on my dreambox,but neither of the preview buttons work and the address has changed from mms to http.when vlc is then opened to recieve the stream and the address is added to open network stream,vlc states that its unable to open the stream.
is this because the address has changed to http? and how do i fix this?ian.

Http or mms sometimes chosen by the program
if you select lower,medium or high internet speed and the "receive stream by mobile" unchecked then the protocol is mms else will be http because mobiles could not receive mms-stream
If advance selects http or mms depened on the encapsulation selected
The program streams like previous versions but sometime some compination is not working so no streaming and what you see in launched vlc is playing and not streaming and you will not see anything in preview
to know vlc is playing or streaming,in playing the vlc screen is large in streaming it is smal
change the codec compination and try again

thanks,
it appears then that when using MP4 encapsulation and the h264 codec that the program automatically switches to http,this is a shame as i cant open the stream when the address is http,ive no idea why,but the people i wish to stream to cant open it either.is there any way i can still use the advanced settings to have the h264 codec and MP4 encapsulation and still stream using mms?
this combination is far more stable with slow upload speeds than any other.ian.

Hi
As i know mms used only with wmv codec but seem nobody go deep in the subject so we have try different compination
compination you have suggested never worked with me
but i made small update and let the user choose the protocol or access he wants from advanced settings

this file just exe file extract to program folder without need for setup

First of all let me say hello, long time reader first time poster!

I have read all 17 pages and installed all the latest versions on here but I still am not able to stream over the net.
Local streaming works fine, when I press preview it buffers then plays but when I press preview to stream internet address it just sits at ready with no picture.

I have tested my static IP and dns is presnt and active.
I am using 0.99 VLC

Im guessing the port is closed on my internet IP as when I try to port scan it it says closed( using shields up). How do I open this?
I have opened it in my router and when I use PFPortChecker it says open but it is using a 192.168.189.1 IP for some reason.


The image below DOES have a picture in the streaming window(on the right) but it did not get captured in the screenshot.




So to recap everything is working fine bar streaming over the internet.

Thanks for any help.

Hi and welcome
Just to demonstrate one thing
failure to preview by lower preview button means that 1234 is not opened or not forwarded to local pc ip
failure to preview in upper preview button means either dns wrong or not active or port 1234 is not opened or not forwarded
from what you have said i conclude that
lower preview success+upper preview failure=wrong or not active dns or static ip or port 1234 port blocked externally by your internet provider

i think the secret hidden in this strange ip displayed by port checker( 192.168.189.1) what is this?

I am not sure where 192.168.189.1 comes from.
My pc ip is 192.168.1.65 and dm500 is 192.168.1.22.
I have nothing in the 192.168.189.1 range.

When you run PFPortChecker does it show your internetip address or the pc address?

My dns is fine, I have even created a mydns which also shows as present and active.

So I need to open a port on my internet/DNS IP but finding it difficult.

I use shields up https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to check my port and it does state closed.
Can you try on your 1234 and see what it says please

Also even if I open up and try 6664 or 6624 or any other number I get the same problem.
My software firewall is turned off.

Any help is good help, really doing my head in this is!

Thanks gaz
