Restream.1.4.3
Some new features are:
* Added authorization, so you can put Dreambox Restream in 'private' modus. So you can watch a movie without being interupted by other viewers.
* Added a tooltip on the program guide. So hover over the program title to get a small summary from that program.
* Added the latest Longtail video player (5.2)
This version took so long time because I was bussy with work and social live. So I had not much spare time to work in this software. And also I was waiting for the final Wowza Media Server 2 version. It is now needed for Dreambox Restream. The good thing it is free for personal use.
Here are the instructions
Setting it all up
Now we got all parts, we can set it up.
Server part:
Install VLC according the installation instructions. On a Debian based system you can use apt-get install vlc. It will everything what is needed to run VLC. On a windows system you should be double clicking the file and follow the instructions. Just remember where you installed it or that you are able to find the VLC executable file.
Also you need to install Wowza Media Server.
This is a free (personal use) flash (and more) streaming server. Download
Download the software and ask for a free 10 connections license.
Unfortunally you cannot use it for iPhone streaming. That is limited in the free version.
The xajax framework is now included in the Dreambox Restream software package.
Unzip the DreamboxRestream software somewhere in your webroot where you are able to reach with you web client.
After unzipping you have to set some settings in the file Settings.class.php. All settings are documentated in the settings file.
Finally copy the files in the folder wowza to your Wowza media installation. Change the url in the file aliasmap.dreambox.play.txt. This has to be the same value as the variable '$vlcWanIP'. After that, restart your wowza server.

Sourcecode
Here you can download the PHP code for the server part. This code is based on PHP5 and object oriented. So you need at lease PHP 5 installed on your webserver. Got reports of working systems on both Windows and Linux. Get your version right now (06-07-2010)
