[garry1312]

Hi im having real trouble with this been at it for two days now. Ive got it all set up as in i can go in to the movie player select the movie, it will show on VLC media player on my pc and come up on my box that it is buffering but will not get by 0% . its really starting to drive me crazy now, please help.

loving the box got my EPG set up, network mount, can record and so on but just this really is becoming a pain i've followed pli wiki and im sure ive done what it says but really no joy.

Thanks.

You got the right ports open on your router..???

You have a clone 500s mate.. If you want to use all the best features you should have looked at getting a higher end spec genuine box

I know its a clone mate. But theres plently out there managing to stream on them pretty fine.

Yep ports should be fine mate.

anyone any suggestions on how to resolve this issue on this box?

[opsmonkey]

what format are the files you want to play..??

If they aren't MPEG's then you need to click transcode

have a look at this..

Stream to dreambox using webinterface on dreambox.ingmar.dk

cheers for that mate not had a chance to have a look at it as im just about to head out but once i get back in tonight i will have a look at it and post how i get on.

been at it all day again with still no joy, its odd i can select the movie on my dreambox from my pc and then the buffering window will open on the dreambox but wont load. frustrating to say the least .

tried that now as well and still not working getting this error:

File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "C:\DOCUME~1\ADAMMC~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\the social network 2010 divx.mp4".
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///C:/DOCUME~1/ADAMMC~1/LOCALS~1/Temp/the%20social%20network%202010%20divx.mp4'. Check the log for details.

Pli Jade2 Enigma1 only works with streaming Pi Jade3 does not work, does not seem to get past buffering stage with Pli jade3.

[garry1312]

aah so best probably changing my image?

[cdstack]

I am not sure how the epg works on the pli jade 2 there might be a problem with it. I know there is an openpli image for the dm500 i think works with clones as well could be worth a try. When I had a dm500 running the pli jade 2 streaming avi files to tv worked well. vlc 8.6i works with pli jade2 image for streaming.

I use a network mount and the filemode option to play avi's,but I convert them first to mpeg2 (ts) using winavi

I had the same problem until i followed this post from hemispherical1:

in VLC try:

Tools
Preferences
ALL / Advanced Settings
Stream Output

In "Default Stream Output Chain" add something like:

#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=2048,width=640,height=48 0,fps=25,soverlay,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2,sc odec=dvbs,audio-sync}:standard{access=http,mux=ts,dst=:9090/dboxstream}

In my case had to chose width=354,height=384 so the video fits my screen.
