Help required, streaming between PC and Dreambox

[joloughlin]

Hi Guys, this is my first post so please be gentle !!

I'm have a DM500S running Gemini 4.06, I am trying to use the web interface stream option/button to allow streaming from PC to DB. I've clicked on the settings option to configure the required IPs, DVD drive letter and paths etc. but have made a typo in the path to my video files on the PC.
Now when I click on the stream then settings buttons via the web interface I get the following

"XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://dreambox/cgi-bin/streamingServerSettings
Line Number 5, Column 23: <config startdir=""C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents"

I can see where they error is but don't know how to correct it, I presume I will need to telnet into the box and manually change the settings file.

Anyone know what this file is called and where it is located ?

Or have any other suggestions for fixing the problem.

Thanks

The easiest way to do it is to Install VLCF (VLC Front end) on the dreambox and use it to to stream from the PC to the Dreambox.

VLCF is available as an addon form Gemini addons server (Blue Panel). Otherwise install it manually.

Search VLCF on the forum, there are a few threads that discuss its use. You'll have to edit /var/tuxbox/config/vlcf_original.xml, then rename it /var/tuxbox/config/vlcf.xml

Be warned, sometimes streaming in this way can be a headache, especially when you are half way through a movie and the stream starts crashing.
