First install VLC on your computer.
Create a directory in the computer where the video files to be placed in: C:\DreamBoxShare\
This directory will be used by VLC to create the transcoded .ts file, it is not necessary to put in it the divx to be played.
Share this directory on the PC with all access right to all users.
On the dreambox, create a mounting point to this shared directory :
- With Gemini : blue panel, parameters, auto mount editor, then add a new cifs entry to your computer shared directory. In mount point specify the directory mount point in the dream (/media/net for example), in IP section mention your computer IP adress, in share section specify the name of the PC share (usually it is the same as the directory name, ie /DreamboxShare), specify user and pass if you have requested on the PC share settings.
- With other image, you should search for similar Mount Wizard in the custom menu.
In the Dreambox, from the addon/plugin menu, download and install MediaPlayer.
In the PC, create a file "C:\DreamBoxShare\StartStream.bat" contening the following line:
Now you can transcode any video file in mpeg on the network. Just drag the StartStream.bat file on the video file you want to play.
Immediately, a ts file will be created on the fly in the C:\DreamBoxShare\ directory (the size will increase progressively).
In the Dreambox, launch MediaPlayer plugin, and navigate into the mount point. You should be able to see the ts file streamed by VLC on the PC. Just select it and play it.
Note:
You should be able to play all format type using this method.
Mkv files can be played directly from MediaPlayer plugin without VLC conversion process (except if the audio channel is in DTS format and if the dreambox is not a DM8000 or 500HD).
