Commando 14.6 DM500 Release

[NICETOBNICE]

Here's a post by LraiZer originally posted on UkCvs which I recently copied to DWZ to help a couple of members struggling with Streaming to PC from DM500 (but got no thanks nor reply). Funnily enough, one of 'em was sminoff_rules, PMSL!

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

streaming from DM500 using C14.6 to PC is easy, just install Mozilla firefox web browser and an older compatible version of VLC and then type your box ip address into firefox to acccess the box's yWeb interface. you will need to use an older version of vlc for streaming as newer versions of vlc are not fully compatible. install the old version of VLC 0.8.6x from oldapps (dont forget to tick mozilla plugin during install) download older 0.8.6x vlc

if you dont want to use firefox and just want to stream directly to vlc without using the yWeb interface, just enter your box ip into your default web brower and use the /control/build_live_url command

eg. http://192.168.2.19/control/build_live_url
this will produce a live url http://192.168.2.19:31339/0,0x0103,0x0921,0x0922
just copy and paste the generated live url directly into the open http network stream option in your vlc player

i'm sure i linked my old dbox2 to a folder on my pc a few years ago surely someone no's how to do it ?

[smirnoff_rules]

TRY THIS ..its for the older one but l would think its the same setup


just set my dm500s running commando to mount and record to my pc, so before i forget anything thought i would post here an maybe help someone else.

ON PC

Make Folder on C: drive root of PC (im using XP), mines is called "dreambox", on my dm500 that will be my DIRECTORY/SHARE
You need to share it, right click on folder, select Properties > Sharing tick the 2 box,s "share this folder on the network" & "allow network users to change my files
Do this with any other folder you create within, you will see a hand created bellow folder to let you know its shared.
I rebooted my pc's (not sure if its a must but did it anyways).


NAS DRIVE

Create a share on Nas Drive mines is also called "dreambox".
Set Username & Password (this is the Username & Password which goes on dm500


ON DREAMBOX

SERVER IP - input the ip of your PC or NAS here
DIRECTORY/SHARE - the shared folder on the PC or NAS (has to be identical name)
USERNAME - same as PC or NAS share
PASSWORD - same as PC or NAS share
MAC ADDRESS - of PC or NAS (can be found using cmd > ipconfig/all on pc or nas in config menu)

The other settings, setup like iv done below, but in the MOUNT OPTIONS you need to change ro,soft,udp
to rw,soft,udp changing the "o" to "w" if left you wont be able to write to the share.
MOUNT ON STARTUP iv left as no as i manually start mount myself.

If any problems mounting, reboot the box or check firewall settings as i had the box ticked "dont allow exceptions" in windows firewall, had to untick and it mounted on next attempt.


These are the basic settings iv used.

PC 1

TYPE - CIFS
SERVER IP - 192.168.1.15 (same on pc)
DIRECTORY/SHARE - dreambox (same on pc)
LOCAL DIRECTORY - /mnt/cf
MOUNT ON STARTUP - no
MOUNT OPTIONS - rw,soft,udp
MOUNT OPTIONS - nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
USERNAME - ****** (same as pc)
PASSWORD - ****** (same as pc, leave blank if no password on pc)
MAC ADDRESS - 00:00:00:00:00:00 (same as pc)



PC 2

TYPE - CIFS
SERVER IP - 192.168.1.10 (same on pc)
DIRECTORY/SHARE - dreambox (same on pc)
LOCAL DIRECTORY - /mnt/cf
MOUNT ON STARTUP - no
MOUNT OPTIONS - rw,soft,udp
MOUNT OPTIONS - nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
USERNAME - ****** (same as pc)
PASSWORD - ****** (same as pc, leave blank if no password on pc)
MAC ADDRESS - 00:00:00:00:00:00 (same as pc)


NAS DRIVE

TYPE - CIFS
SERVER IP - 192.168.1.5
DIRECTORY/SHARE - dreambox
LOCAL DIRECTORY - /mnt/cf
MOUNT ON STARTUP - no
MOUNT OPTIONS - rw,soft,udp
MOUNT OPTIONS - nolock,rsize=8192,wsize=8192
USERNAME - ****** (same as Nas)
PASSWORD - ****** (same as Nas)
MAC ADDRESS - 00:00:00:00:00:00 (same as Nas)



Forget to mention the recording settings, mine was "direct file" as default im sure, but then again i tried changing a few things while experimenting with setting up mount.
I'v setup another 2 laptops since using the info i posted an got them mounted within a few minutes, looks more complicated than it is

@LraiZer on C14.2 when i mounted my nas it showed me the disc space left on my drive.
using C14.3 it says SERVER DOWN even when mounted to my 2 laptops but i can still record an playback, is it something iv changed or need to change

Ok so my next question is.
I have a fixed dish for 28.2e and fixed dish for thor 0.8w, my old setup was using an A/B diseqc switch type.

How can i get this setup on this image?

Let me know if you are still having problems doing this, I managed to setup 28 and 19 quite easy with a diseqc switch, just select diseqc and switch on 28 and 0.8.

I also have problem with network.
When i boot the DB the start network on boot is off.
When i check the network setting i get: network inactive.

I tried to change the setting to on to start network on boot.
And saved the settings.
But when i reboot it go back to off.
When i look at the motherboard on the DB i can see network activity.

I take it you have Start network at boot - ON ???

ok, let's try giving your dm500 a static IP then. Can you go into your router web i/f and report back on all IP adresses it is currently seeing, it's own IP, and the DNS IP it's using, please?

When i look at the motherboard on the DB i can see network activity.

it could be a bad flash . try another fresh install.

thanks for the feedback. But how can i reinstall when i cant connect to the DB thru network.

I see
That's another problem.
I try to connect the DB dm500 to dreamup.
It detect the device but seems like dreamup doesn't upload the flash loader.
I'm stuck at box type: DM500

I have try to connect another DB dm 800HD and it works fine.
So its not problem with the cable or the PC
