ftp the divx/xvid file to mnt/hdd/media
or
mnt/hdd/media/divx
to play
exit
multimedia
video player
there is bugs sometimes, with the sound out of sinc , or maybe a panic or 2. But the quality is superb.
this is where i come unstuck--what does ftp mean? i am a beginner to all this!
i have managed to get all my cable channels working though!!
ftp stands for "file transfer protocol"
you can download a programme from here in downloads called FlashFXP
you got a wireless router or a direct connection ?
wireless router is best option, just link a crossover cable between the box and router, or a direct connection between PC and box.
In flash FXP.
start a new session
enter the ip address of the box ( you can change this in advanced settings from remote control on your box ). Make it within 5 from your router or PC
example
router = 192.168.1.1
pc = 192.168.1.2
box = 192.168.1.3
username = root
password = relook , unless you got Cli image where password = ipbox
hope this helps.
many thanks i shall have a go at that!
i have a wireless router!
hi sorry for asking stupid questions!
i am presuming that i need a crossover cable if i have not got one?
also how do i find out the ip address of my router and pc?
the easiest way is to download dreambox control centre from here ( DCC )
set it to ping all devices , tell it you got a router.
username = root
password = relook
it will take a few mins and will come back with IP address of your
router
PC
IPbox
or in your web browser type in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.2.1
you should get a box appear asking you for your router username and password, then you will know the IP address of your router.
i have ordered my crossover cable so when it arrives i will be eager to have a go!
Could you explain to me what DCC and PCeditor do in simple terms for me please?
Also are they a similar kind of program?
thanks
DCC will allow you to telnet or FTP to your IP box , telnet lets you send commands to your box, while ftp will allow you to transfer files to and from your box and PC. also will allow to change the attributes of certain files allowing them to be changed when need be.
PC editor is the main means of Flashing and backing up images, also making and changing buquettes ( TV favourite settings ) also you can save these or upload them to ipbox, this is called database.
right i am starting to understand this i think!
am i correct in thinking that the images etc that can be flashed by USB upgrade can also be flashed by PC editor?
hi
my crossover cable came---now hit my next prob! how do i actually change the numbers to enter the ip address on the cube revo? can get to this bit but cant change from 0.0.0.0
aloso aftermath have you tried any 1080p/720p bluray/HD files on the cube revo?
what was the quality like?
thanks
in Advanced settings/IP settings on the top menu, scoll along the options and choose static IP address, click on it and a keyboard appears, edit it from there m8
Ive onle played Divx x through mine, the quality was superb except the audio is out of sinc, but its a comman fault at the mo.. until someone works on it.
when i click on 'static ip' it brings up a menu with 4 options 'static ip, auto(DHCP) etc
when i click on ip address the box goes into panic! does the box need to be connected to the router to do this?
or have i got a faulty box?
