Hi Friends,
I got the internet thing working ! I did the following :-
(1) Already had installed VLC mediaplayer (0.86) from
http://www.videolan.org/. Configure VLC by Settings > Preferences > Interface > Main Interfaces > Advanced options > select 'Extra interface modules' HTTP. Next expand Main Interfaces and in HTTP Host Address insert :8080. Close VLC.
(2) Plugin Stream2db. Unzip and ftp the .so and .cfg files to /var/tuxbox/plugins and the .xml file to /var/tuxbox/config (for openembedded - location depending on the image). Also ftp libcurl.so.2 to /var/lib (/usr/lib for oe). Chmod all 755. Edit in the pc ip in the .xml file. Reboot dreambox. This plugin works for 5620, 600 and 500, possibly 7000 and 7020. I tested the internet streaming on the 600.
(3) Installed and logged in to SopCast. Select a Live Channel and rightclick to play. Rightclick on the screen and select Properties and copy the Location. Start VLC mediaplayer -> File -> Open Network Stream and paste the Location url to HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/MMS. Select Stream/Save and Settings. At the top of the Settings window - copy and paste this line :-
:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp2v,vb=1024,width=352,hei ght=288,acodec=mpga,ab=192,channels=2}:duplicate{d st=std{access=http,mux=ts,ttl=6,url=:9090/dboxstream}} --sout-keep
Selecting OK twice and keep VLC mediaplayer (and the SopCast play) running.
(4) At the dreambox - start plugin Stream2db and the internet stream will play after a short buffering.
Apart from internet, this plugin will stream anything (video, playlist, dvd etc) playing on the VLC medaplayer. Please read the Readme for details.
Regards, pcd.
