PC as a dreambox HDD (CIFS)

[anacondama]

If your dreambox is without hdd, you can use a folder in your PC as a hdd dreambox. So you can record TV directly on your PC:

CIFS=Common Internet File Sharing


step1: create a user on PC like this:
Execute-->cmd
Net User mydream mydream /add

Step2: Create a share Folder on PC:
create folder
md C:\Dreambox\movie
and now we share it:
Net Share dreambox=C:\Dreambox

Step3: mount hdd on dreambox (open a telnet session on dreambox and execute follow command):
mount -t cifs -o user=mydream,password=mydream //x.x.x.x/dreambox /hdd
Replace x.x.x.x with the ip of your PC (exemple 192.168.1.2)

to test, just try to record a sequence with your remote control and you will see that is in c:\dreambox\movie

This was the first thing I tried when I got a new dreambox. With these settings are working fine

The mounted disk should be visible in media player on the Dreambox, and you can play the recordings from there.
