Hi T_G,
Obviously you have not been to the IHAD thread today. I have posted the following Hints. Streaming and recording on pc from the db is now perfect using TuxvisionR. No need for cifs. Installing TuxvisionR is simple if you follow the Readme.
Some hints:-
Download and install softcam : First select and save Common Interface in Softcam Setup to stop any running emulator.
Streaming to Dreambox : Start network streaming from VLC. Then start plugin Stream2db to see display on tv. Stream2db can handle any media that VLC can stream out. More advice in Readme, can be downloaded from here :-

Watching and recording TV on pc : While the channel is on tv, start plugin StopTVplay. The screen will go dark. Then start your streaming client software on pc. TuxvisionR is recommended, details can be found here :-

Crond :- Crond is set to start at boot. To stop crond from starting, comment out (insert # at the beginning of) the line with crond in file /var/etc/init. Cronjobs can be set by editing /var/etc/crontab. Alternative is to list the cron command in /var/etc/croncmd and then use Cronmanager.
Picons : Select Setup -> Expert Setup -> Show service logo. No need for plugin, all inside image. Some picons are available for download by cpanel. Any others, just add to folder /var/tuxbox/icon.
Regards, pcd.
