[QUOTE="newinc, post: 168349, member: 207179"] PCD, I followed your instructions on [B]How to stream a DVD from pc to Dreambox[/B] with the vlc method. Used the releases you mentioned, didn't get it to work the first time. After searching the web i found some additional information and it works perfectly now. I will list my changes below for everyone who has some difficulties as well: 1) For WINDOWS XP users: Right click the shortcut to start vlc and select properties. Change target line in "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http 2) In vlc I selected Settings -> Preferences -> Input I have set the port to 8080 and given the DVD drive the right drive letter (don't forget to save these settings) [Although it looks like this isn't absolutely neccesary in version 0.7.2 it looks like it is for later versions] 3) If you decide to use a later version of vlc don't forget to alter the setting to tell vlc through how many hubs and switches it may go, especially when you are in a network this is important otherwise the signal will never get to your dreambox (forgot the exact name of the setting but you will see it if you select the streaming wizard, don't forget to save your desired setting in the preferences). Little tip think about firewalls on your pc and of course routers and switches in your network (port 8080 should be enabled) Furthermore PCD thanks for writing the tutorial on [B]How to stream a DVD from pc to Dreambox[/B] it was really, really helpfull. Without it i probably was still trying. Thanks !!!!!!!!:) Newinc [/QUOTE]
