I've never needed to restart the dreambox to get it to work but I'll add it nevertheless, thanks.
And glad you finally got it working, well done!

I also stumbled across another way to record just incase it turned out I couldnt get your method to work.. its by using a programme called n-grab. I'll upload a guide a found at another site...

I've edited that part of the guide as well. Although it does say that every image may be different.
For the DK V1 image, as described in the feedback thead , it's...
Green - SubServices for satellite viewing, i.e. Premiere Sport Portal. Also if you hold it down for more than 3 secs it shows the DVR controls for recording.

ok followed the guide to the letter but i get a failed message
ive done:
IP : 192.168.1.xxx CIFS
Dir: daves dream
LocalDir: /hdd/movie
options: rw.soft.udp.nolock
extra: nolock.rsize=8192.wrsize=8192
user:
pass:
but no joy!
my shared folder is in my shared documents on the c: drive
any ideas
Try giving the directory only one word, i.e. movies.
The user: section should be the username of the account you use on your PC. If your account doesn't need a password, leave it blank.

Hi, I've just installed the DK image & things seem to be going well so far, but I'm having a problem with setting up recording.
When trying to create the mount, I get to local dir, press OK to set it & get a file explorer. I can browse to /hdd, which shows 1 directory called movie and I have the green button listed as save. If I go into movie, the option to save with green disappears. So, I can only set the local dir to /hdd, it won't change to /hdd/movie as it refuses to save when I'm in there.
I thought if there was something in movie, I'd be OK but I can't create a dir in telnet as it tells me it's a read-only filesystem.
I guess this gets created in a text config somewhere? If I could edit that, I could just change /hdd to /hdd/movie.
Just to add to this, I managed to get it mounted using Curious123's suggestion of the web interface here:
recording help
When I go into the mount menu on the Dreambox though, I can't see this mount. To mount the PC shared drive, I have to go to the PC, fire up the web interface & mount it that way, so this is only a temporary solution. The web interface doesn't see my failed settings either, even though I saved them.

Thanks a lot
I have set up to record from my DM 500C to my PC. After some trial and error I finally got it work. Problem now is that the recordings are very poor (5 secs and then the recording sticks for 5 secs and then continues). I've read that that the DM 500C's processor is relatively weak and therefore may contribute to the problem. Any ideas to improve the recording quality?
DM 500C
Gemini 4.2
vlc media player 0.94
Streaming to the PC works no problem.
Cant see what the problem is.
I use dk image and the recording is fnie.
I have recorded for up to 2 hours without any hassle.
What cam you use?
I use evocam
