[QUOTE="td03-5, post: 680737, member: 188069"] Hi PCD, Thanks for that. In fact, thats basically the method I use but in an automated form. I assumed that most people would use the Enigma Webif and then click the PIDs (Video or Audio) but I use a 'sort of' application I have written in Linux Shell Script and a VLC playlist. I've been using it for a while and have set up 10 Video streams and 10 Audio streams (one at a time of course). Once it's all installed and set up on the Dreambox the VLC playlist (on the PC or Laptop) just does an http call to one of the stream ports (or playlists) I have designated, the box switches to the channel I have associated with that port and streams it. The ports I used are 8000 to 8009 for my 10 Video streams and 8050 to 8059 for my 10 Audio streams. Obviously any convenient unused port numbers will do. I use XSPF playlists with VLC so I can just add Dreambox channels into an internet TV or Radio playlist just as though they were internet streams. I did it because I streamed so much from the internet over Christmas last year that my ISP complained!! Like this it's just as convenient but does not affect my download allowance as it is just streamed over my LAN/WiFi. Best wishes, John. [/QUOTE]
