    watching a movie on PC through DM800HD

    Is there a plug-in for a DM800HD to allow streaming of a movie from your PC through the DM to the LCD, If so can someone guide me to the right direction (how to) please
    Thanks

    Do you mean onto your pc or laptop, if so,VLC is the best to use for this and is available as a downloadable plugin for most images.

    THE TRUTH
    The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12

    Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
    The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.

          on box======= VLC plug in--- add ip address of pc


          on pc======Open VLC ------ tools----- add interface---------Web interface

          it will open up contents of pc,, just point to movie you want to play

                  1. Install latest VLC Player - with full instead of standard or custom settings.
                  2. Upon completion, go to your desktop icon click right button and go to propreties.
                  In Target field it should say something like this "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" so go to the end of the line and add following text: --intf wxwin --extraintf=http
                  So the complete line looks like: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http
                  3. Run your VLC and minimize it
                  4. Now go to your box, press GREEN button to get into plug in menu and click on VLC plug in.
                  5. Creating a server by clicking GREEN buttons, or edit current with YELLOW buttons, and these are the options I had:
                  Server Name: Wotever
                  Enter VLC-Server as FQDN or IP-Address: IP-ADDRESS
                  Server Address: put in ur address 192.168.0.23
                  HTTP Port: 08080 (Default)
                  Movie Directory: f:/ (this is on my network drive, yours might be different, e.g. c:,d:, wotever).
                  DVD Device: didn't worry about
                  Transcode MPEG/DVD Video: YES
                  Video Codec: MPEG2
                  Video Bitrate: 2000 is default, play around with it untill ur happy with the resolution.
                  Video Resolution: Same deal, adjust untill you like the result
                  Everything else can stay default, only audio I've change to mp3 and that was it.
                  6. Once server is set up, press GREEN button to confirm the changes.
                  7. Click on the server, and you should be in directory specified, choose a movie and play it.
