how to play vob, avi, dvix from usb stick in Vlc player in dreambox800hd

[voipsnak]

Hello,

Would it be possible to play play vob, avi and dvix from an usb stick on the DM800

The size of the latest usb sticks is big enough to put complete movies on, eg complete dvd's like vob files.

My goal is not to use dvd disks anymore.

thanks

Although I am a newbie, I don't believe the DM800 will play Divx/Xvid/MP4 files or VOBS. I have read somewhere that the DM8000 will play Xvid/Divx files.
I have got mine to play .mpg and .mkv files but only containing MPEG or x264 content.

I am sure that the VLC player is available for Linux and am surprised that only the streaming VLC player/receiver seems to be available on the DM800HD. If one could install the full VLC Player then it might be possible as the windows version does play them but it does have "inbuilt" codecs that might not be included in the Linux version.

Anyone have any more info on playing AVI files ?
