    Help required, streaming between PC and Dreambox

    Hi Guys, this is my first post so please be gentle !!

    I'm have a DM500S running Gemini 4.06, I am trying to use the web interface stream option/button to allow streaming from PC to DB. I've clicked on the settings option to configure the required IPs, DVD drive letter and paths etc. but have made a typo in the path to my video files on the PC.
    Now when I click on the stream then settings buttons via the web interface I get the following

    "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
    Location: http://dreambox/cgi-bin/streamingServerSettings
    Line Number 5, Column 23: <config startdir=""C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents"


    I can see where they error is but don't know how to correct it, I presume I will need to telnet into the box and manually change the settings file.

    Anyone know what this file is called and where it is located ?

    Or have any other suggestions for fixing the problem.

    Thanks

    ok this is how mine works in pli jade
    browse to the IP address of your box - you should see a link that says 'Web-X-TV'. Click on that and away you go!
    Now if it doesn't work first time you might need to download VLC media player from here VideoLAN, Free streaming and multimedia solutions for all OS!
    Mine wouldn't work in Chrome but after I set it up using Firefox, Chrome worked fine!
    Cheers

      Thanks for the response, that works for me fine [from DB to browser] I was more interested in streaming the other way [from PC to DB]
