DM 800 and VLC

Paul_HU

Hello everyone,

My old 5620 died and I've bought a DM800. I want to set up vlc player to play back divx videos with my 800 but I am stuck. Could anyone help how to configure both the server and the client side? The image is Nabilo Black Hole 0.7.

1. Install latest VLC Player - with full instead of standard or custom settings.
2. Upon completion, go to your desktop icon click right button and go to propreties.
In Target field it should say something like this "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" so go to the end of the line and add following text: --intf wxwin --extraintf=http
So the complete line looks like: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http
3. Run your VLC and minimize it
4. Now go to your box, press GREEN button to get into plug in menu and click on VLC plug in.
5. Creating a server by clicking GREEN buttons, or edit current with YELLOW buttons, and these are the options I had:
Server Name: Wotever
Enter VLC-Server as FQDN or IP-Address: IP-ADDRESS
Server Address: put in ur address 192.168.0.23
HTTP Port: 08080 (Default)
Movie Directory: f:/ (this is on my network drive, yours might be different, e.g. c:,d:, wotever).
DVD Device: didn't worry about
Transcode MPEG/DVD Video: YES
Video Codec: MPEG2
Video Bitrate: 2000 is default, play around with it untill ur happy with the resolution.
Video Resolution: Same deal, adjust untill you like the result
Everything else can stay default, only audio I've change to mp3 and that was it.
6. Once server is set up, press GREEN button to confirm the changes.
7. Click on the server, and you should be in directory specified, choose a movie and play it.

I'm having some problems changing target file for vlc to what you have suggested (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http) i get message saying,

problem shortcut
The name C:\program' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path file and file name are correct

Oh by the way my O/P system is vista home
premium, and vlc player version is 0.9.9

Check your path for VLC or just add this to the target you alread have (--intf wxwin --extraintf=http ) My VLC is in "D:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"and by cutting and pasting (C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http) I get the same error as you.

Hello,

What Dbacc was trying to explain was, you find your vlc target you already have and after that add in the line --intf wxwin --extraintf=http

So for Howc your target should have been like this:
"D:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http

If you don't have an Icon on your desktop you should locate the vlc application where it was installed and right click on it, the popup list should have Send To -> Desktop (Create shortcut) This will create a shortcut and from there just follow Dbacc post Step 2.

Sorry I'm getting a little confused as to were I put in. (D:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http)
Shall I try to change this in target in properties or as to the vlc.exe file in programs ? as I am not able to change in target in properties. I keep getting error message
problem shortcut
The name C:\program' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path file and file name are correct

You miss the " before D:\.....
Change it to "D:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http

Right click the vlc icon on your desktop
Select "properties and then click the "shortcut" tab
In the "target" box there will be something like "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" This is what you need to change to "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" --intf wxwin --extraintf=http but exactly what it says will depend on your setup. Sorry if I confused you.


P3t3r_2 was correct when he said (and I quote)

"What Dbacc was trying to explain was, you find your vlc target you already have and after that add in the line --intf wxwin --extraintf=http"

You need to make the changes in the desktop shortcut not the vlc.exe file itself.
