Hi guys, simple question, has anyone been able to stream HD across the LAN using VLC ? I'm using VLC v0.86i in MAC OSX and when I click to stream a HD channel from the DM8000 web interface it attempts to start then VLC crashes and shuts down. Any offers please guys ? Cheers... | ||

There is a little glitch every once in a while. Maybe a few per minute. I guess the bottle neck is the 100mbit nic in the DM8000. Versions directly following v0.86i had a problem streaming to web from a linux box, I'll test later to see if this has been resolved. | ||

It opens in VLC and freezes on the first frame streamed. That's with Winxp. Doesn't crash, and audio carries on OK. Might be worth trying the later VLC version, thanks. Llew | ||

My System: Dream7020 and AZ Elite | Tested my AZbox and it works fine. Are You using a cable or wifi ? As I use wifi I noticed a few freezing moments but not that it disturbs the view. | ||

Might try it on my Linux distros, as the one currently available just gives an empty screen, no log file in Messages. Llew | ||

My System: 2xDM7025(DVB-S tuner), DM600SPVR, DM800S, TM9100, Triax 90cm with MultiBracket 4 sats. | I am using 1.03. It plays SD channels fine, but it is virtually unwatchable on HD channels like SP HD. It seems to drop a LOT of frames giving a very jerky picture. I am using a LAN (no wifi), but it does go from the DM800 100MB/s LAN to a 1GB/s LAN on the PC. I am not sure whether this causes the problem. Is anybody else having the same problem? | ||
