playing mpeg files off the PC

Hello,

I read somewhere you can play mpeg files on the PC through the dreambox can someone explain how this works? do I have to setup an NFS server and mount the filesystem on the dreambox? I'm using enigma image on DM500.

It's in the Idiot's Guide.

Mount the drive on your PC and play any .mpg files on it using File Mode.

My System: DM7020, dual core2 PC

having trouble mounting... I'm using an NFS server on my PC. and from the dreambox i tried following the instructions Setup>Expert Setup>Communications Setup>Mount Setup and entering the information but it won't mount... i also tried from the command line by telnet entering: mount -t nfs -o wsize=40-96,rsize=4096,nolock 192.168.1.111:/video /var/video
but i get the error message as follows:
mount: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection refused
mount: nfsmount failed: Bad file descriptor

any ideas?

192.168.1.111:/video
192.168.1.111 is your PC IP address and the shared folder name is video?

Can you access it in web browser? Is the : a typo?

Does the folder /var/video exist on your Dreambox?

Also, why NFS and not CIFS?
