[QUOTE="td03-5, post: 681105, member: 188069"] Hi All, Another quite convenient way to stream TV from a Dreambox to a PC/Laptop using VLC is to install Pli Zapstream on the Dreambox. The zapstream server is included in Pli Images but can easily be added to other images. I have it installed on my Gemini 4.70 image. Once installed, a VLC call to the zapstream port (31344) will stream the current channel. When the Dreambox channel is changed, the zapstream, stream will change to the new channel without zapstream being closed and restarted (close & restart is always necessary with streamts, the normal Dreambox AV stream server on port 31339). Channel change can be done manually on the Dreambox (using the remote control), via the Enigma Webif, or a wget command. If the Webif or wget are used then the box can remain in standby while it is streaming. If you want to move the channel change operation to a VLC Playlist or use a Media Player that can access streams but not web pages then my DreamSwitch system might be useful. Once DreamSwitch is installed and set-up on a Dreambox and a VLC Playlist created, all you need to do is open the playlist with VLC, double click on one of the channels in the playlist and the Dreambox will switch to that channel and stream it (similar principle for media players that can access stream addresses). It's a very convenient way to select from a small number of favourite channels. DreamSwitch in action: [ATTACH]28987[/ATTACH] I have both the above (zapstream & DreamSwitch) available for DM7000S (Enigma 1) and if anyone is interested I would be pleased to post them with installation and use instructions. Best wishes, John. [/QUOTE]
