[QUOTE="rexmundo, post: 512077, member: 282770"] Ok started testing with TVersity. Initially, although the .avi files would appear on the Upnp mount, when telnetting to the DB, throught the GUI,(filesystem->root->/media/Upnp/etcetc) no avi files were shown. I could see Mpeg files and MP3 but not avi. So, I edited the profiles.xml file and created a dreambox profile. I set it to transcode everything to mpeg2 and added the IP of the dreambox to force the media server to recognise the db and place it within that profile. Then... Magic! The *avi files on the dreambox Upnp mount dissapeared and in their place I got corresponding *mpg files... so the media server automatically transcoded them to dvd's which DB can play. It kinda works ok but as you said it depends on how fast your PC is. I need to play with the bitrates tomorrow and see if I can get improvements. The quality is actually fine.. its the fastforward/rewind thats flaky and I need to improve. [/QUOTE]
