[QUOTE="WildBit, post: 682338, member: 280940"] Guys, here is a simple and easy way to watch all your videos on the db. This procedure was originally provided by DAKI (thank you). I tested it and it works very well! "Did a bit of digging around trying to get DM800 to play divx and finally got it working, so I'll briefly include what I did for people that might be interested. Not sure if it will work on other boxes or if anyone else wrote up one up. So here it is: 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." [/QUOTE]
