Dreamview 0.1.4 & VLC 0.8.5 streaming

ITS A SCAM !

I have come across a tutorial for streaming my dreambox over the internet. Football season is nearly here, and i am looking at the possibility of being able to let my brother the chance to watch live footy on his laptop. I have manged to get the correct versions of both dreamview 0.1.4 & VLC 0.8.5 for this experiment. I am however having problems getting the dreamview software to aqquire the channel list from my DM500s. I think there is a connection problem, but i am a little bit stuck as to its cause..I have opened all the ports required. Also within the section of dreamview set up > options > preferences > stream output string > server output. The information i copied and pasted needed to be changed to suit my personal set up ?? ie..

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=256,scale=0.5,acod ec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst =std{access=http,mux=mpeg1,dst=192.168.1.2:8080}} :sout-all

Is now the following as my dreambox ip address is 192.168.2.15

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=256,scale=0.5,acod ec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=display,dst =std{access=http,mux=mpeg1,dst=192.168.2.15:8080}} :sout-all


Can anyone possibly spare some time to try and help me solve this little problem ???

Kindest regards

Rather than recreate the wheel have you looked at this thread:

Tutorial - Streaming DM7025 To Internet - Including Pictures.

It's not a DM500 but the techniques should be similar.

ITS A SCAM !

Many thanks for the advice..however my Enigma interface is not looking the same as the one in the tutorial. So i have become "stuck" yet again. I am unable to Right click on the channel i want to stream and copy shortcut...Thanks anyway...

To be honest, the attached tuturial is not the best one to go on. There are some errors/omissions.

For example, it states that you should forward port 8080 to your dreambox. This is wrong, you are not recieving the stream directly from the dreambox but from the PC running VLC. The PC is compressing the stream so that its small enough to upload without errors.

You should be forwarding this port to the PCs IP address.

There is no need to open and forward ports 21 or 80 unless you want to give your brother access to the web interface or FTP access.

Adding dreamview to the mix is only complicating things, all of this can be achieved using only VLC at both ends.

Just go to the web interface of your dreambox and click the VLC button. Instead of opening it with VLC or whatever, just save it and open it with Notepad or some other text editor. You'll get what you need from that.

ITS A SCAM !

Many thanks for your input......can you possibly elaborate more on your last paragraph ??
Kindest regards
