My System: Dreambox 8000 HD PVR, 80cm Dish, 1.2 Compatible Motor, Quad LNB, Porty TV, Yamaha RX-V765 Amplifier, Tannoy Mercury FC Centre Speaker, 2 x Tannoy F1 Custom Speakers, 2 x Tannoy FR Custom Speakers, EPOS ELS Sub Woofer

i know the 500-s isn't the same but i have tried all sorts to get VLC working. I can get the plugin working to view files from computer on box or to run a dvd. I can view a stream from my box locally using windows media player stream, that works but is about 2 seconds behind the box with no freezes.
I can get VLC working internally by streaming from the box to my PC but the stream is bad since i only have a 500-s. I have also tried dreamview where you can change channels and that works, again internally and freezes.

I try port forward 8080 and 9090 in my router to dreambox, i change the stream address in vlc to my external ip address when connecting to a stream and nothing happens. I have never managed to get ports 8080 and 9090 forwarded sucessfully, even though i forward, my router doesn't seem to like it and canyouseeme says it hasn't worked.

I have also tried webxtv and vlc link from the http login externally on dreambox, nothing happens.

that is what i have found from my tests anyways. I have never managed to get it to stream over net properly, only in a LAN. People keep telling me how they have done it and watched on mobile etc. but they never tell you how they do it.
