How To use Nabilo Mount Wizard

Step by step How To use Nabilo Mount Wizard


First a little explanation about CIFS and NFS

CIFS (used by Windows)
Client systems use the CIFS (Common Internet File System) protocol to request file and print services from server systems over a network. It is based on the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol.
NFS ( used by Linux Machines )
Network File System (NFS) is a network file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984, allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network as easily as if the network devices were attached to its local disks. NFS, like many other protocols, builds on the Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) system.

Now how to setup CIFS and NFS mount point in Nabilo Mount Wizard :

1. Press Blue button twice--> Nabilo Mount Wizard --> OK

2.1 Press Red for setup NFS mount point twice

_http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/7443/nfs1wo2.jpg

On Server IP address put Your Linux server ( or other Dreambox IP)
On Server share directory put directory name (which one You want to share)
Keep all other fields untouched
Use numeric keys on Your RC for input Letters and Numbers, left-right/up-down for moving in this menu and < (AV) for delete entry
Now press SAVE ( red button)
You will see following

_http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/1488/nfs2ot2.jpg

Press Red button againg and if all is Ok You wil see this popup screen
_http://img370.imageshack.us/img370/7106/nfs3zy5.jpg

Press Ok-RED button-Blue button(exit)

All is done for NFS now

2.2 Press Green and then Red buttons for setup CIFS mount point
_http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/4368/wizardcifsgq3.jpg
On Server IP address put Your Windows Server IP
On Server share directory put directory name (which one You want to share). Here You need to use name of folder which one You have shared on Your PC!!!!
_http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/8332/sharefoldertk3.jpg

Keep all other fields untouched
Use numeric keys on Your RC for input Letters and Numbers, left-right/up-down for moving in this menu and < (AV) for delete entry
Now press SAVE ( red button)
You will see following



Press Red button againg and if all is Ok You wil see this popup screen

_http://img359.imageshack.us/img359/8045/wizardcifs3yb1.jpg

Press Ok-RED button-Blue button(exit)

All is done for CIFS now


P.S. You cannot use same name /media/net for different mount points.
For mount point with other name You need first to create directory in Your Dreambox f.e. /media/YourPointName
Every point must be unique, but in this case You will see on MediaPlayer menu in Network Mount only /media/net point.
If You have point with other name You can access it from MediaPlayer **** Internal Flash **** media **** YourPointName

P.P.S. If You already have created NFS mount point and want to create Cifs with same point name (or just remove mount point),
You need fist to delete previous mount point from Mount Point wizard menu:

Press Blue button twice--> Nabilo Mount Wizard --> OK --> Mount Editor (yellow button) --> select mount point --> Delete ( yellow button)

You can go to Mediaplayer now and enjoy Your mount point

Re: Dreambox Tutorials

DM800 Flashing firmware by Browser

Flashing a new firmware by Browser

What you need to flash
You need the image file you want to flash. Image files have the extension *.nfi. You can't flash other
images like *.img files. Don't try it - it won't work.
You need either a DHCP server, a configured bootloader or a serial cable and a terminal program
like HyperTerm.
You need a browser, and a network cable. If you connect the Dreambox directly to the PC,
you need a cross cable, if you connect trough a switch/hub/router you need a normal
(non-cross) cable.
To flash a new image, you can use the second stage loader. It must be present and not broken.
The following steps assume you have a DHCP server.
If you don't have one, you have to setup an IP address in the bootloader's serial setup.


- Power down the Dreambox, either using "shutdown" and by removing the power connector.
Standby is not enough!

_http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/sites/default/files/products/800/front_pfeil.jpg


- (1.) Press and hold the power button. Replug the power connector into the Dreambox.
- (3.) A text "*** STOP ***" should appear. Now you can release the button.
The bootloader entered the "waiting" mode.
- (4.) Above the "*** STOP ***" text, there should appear an IP-address
(four decimal values with a dot in between). If there appears the string "dhcp" instead,
the box still searches for a DHCP server. Wait a bit. If it doesn't change, something doesn't
work with the DHCP server. Check wether network cable is plugged in etc. If it just doesn't
work, set an IP using the serial terminal

_http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/sites/default/files/products/800/WebInterface.jpg


- Now, open a browser on your PC.
(1.) enter in the address line "http://ip/" (where ip must be replaced with the value in the LCD).
- (2.) on the bottom of the page, there's a link called "firmware upgrade". Click it.
_http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de/sites/default/files/products/800/WebInterface2.jpg

- On the next page, you can select the flash image you want to flash. be sure that it has the ".nfi" extension.
You can't flash other images (like .img)!
- Click on "FLASH!" and wait. It might take some time to upload and flash the image.
- Switch the box off again, and on again. The new image should be flashed and working.

Re: Dreambox Tutorials

How to config CCcam.cfg

Okay i’ll try to explain how the config works with CCcam.

To add a user you have to put a F line in the config :

F: user password 3 1 0 { 0:0:5 }

user gets all our cards at max distance(hops) of 3

He has the right to use our emu keys 1, no rights to emu keys change into 0

He has NO AU rights 0, right for AU change into 1

Furthermore he has the right to reshare all our cards 4 more times { 0:0:5 }
When number is here { 0:0:1 } he can only watch himself and he has no reshare rights.

NEVER GO ABOVE NUMBER 5!! because the distance is to far then. ( like GBOX { 5 5 })

You can set portnumber by changing this rule :

# SERVER LISTEN PORT: 12000
into
SERVER LISTEN PORT: number you want.

To connect to a CCcam server you have to add a C line:

C: ip/dyndns_server port user password yes

The yes on the end says you want to use your rights for emu keys

To connect to a newcamd server you have to add A N line:

N: ip/dyndns port user password deskey hops_away

To connect to a radegast server you need to add a R line:

R: IP/dyndns port CAID(4digits) providerID(6digits) hops_away

To connect to a Camd3 server you have to add a L line:

L: IP/dyndns port CAID(4digits) providerID(6digits) hops_away

These are the basics of the config for CCcam.

Expert setup follows

(03-30-2007 09:39 AM)
OK here we go, the above settings are the basics now we go further.

With a Cccam server you are always in controll
You decide how much your friend is going to see and how far he can reshare it

F: user password 0 0 0 { 0:0:1 }

Says that user gets only our local cards:0 and he only can watch it himself he has no reshare rights.
When changing the zero into 1 user gets our local cards and all vitual cards at a max distance of 1 hop.
If number is 2 then a max distance of 2 hops etc.
Don’t exceed number 5 because the distance is then too far away for stable picture

In case U have 2 local cards and U only want that user get to see 1 u can do this excample:

Card 1 = provider CDS 0100 00006A
Card 2 = provider Premiere 1702 000000

Now you want that user only gets to see your CDS card and not the premiere card do the following

F: user password 3 1 0 { 0:0:5, 0100 00006A:1, 1702:0:0 }

This user gets all cards at maximum distance of 3 hops except 1702 because he has no rights to it :0.
He gets to reshare all our cards(local and virual) 4 times except for provider 0100 0006A because of :1.
Say you want the user to have the right to reshare 0100 0006A 2 times further then change the :1 into 3

So you see U decide what your friend(s) are entitled to see and how many rights they get, wants your card is set to reshare level 3 nobody but yourself can change that.

If you have questions feel free

In the latest versions of CCcam it’s possible to control your hops you are receiving from your peers.
Thats realy a good option now you are in control how many shares online you have.

Heavy testing for me said that 2500 shares online is maximum.

To control receiving hops just add { 0:0:x } at the end of the C line, where x is the number of hops you want to receive.

So: C: dyndnds port user passwd no { 0:0:2 } only gives me shares from that peer with max count of 2.

Important: If you dont use yes/no behind the C lines add them or:

( { 0:0:2 } ) make it like this otherwise it won’t work

How to enable DVR mode in any image and have a true video key

Hi all,
right first of all you need to ftp the file called rcdm5***.xml
from /share/tuxbox/enigma/resources to your pc.

Then you need to edit it and delete any line that has the words

key="help" flags="m" />

at the end of it.

Then you also need to edit these 2 lines

from

<action name="toggleDVRFunctions" key="video" flags="m" />
<action name="toggleStyle" key="video" flags="m" />

to

<action name="toggleDVRFunctions" key="help" flags="m" />
<action name="toggleStyle" key="help" flags="m" />

then save the file.

FTP the file to /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/resources folder
set attributes to 755

Reboot the dreambox and you now have a fully functioning video key (the help key) able to bring
up the dvr panel whilst watching a channel and to
change the list view whilst in a bouquet/provider/satellite list.

Re: Dreambox Tutorials

How To Setup 2 Dreambox For Cardsharing In Lan Or Wan

This guide its to help newbies to setup 2 boxes for Card Sharing in
Lan or Wan.

You need :

2 dreamboxes ( of course)network conected
1 Network cable

a) If you connect the 2 boxes direct you need a cross network cable
if you connect the to boxes in a hub with other network devices then you need straigth network cable
(both of them easy to find in computer stores)
************************************************** ********
Network setup:
Go in dreambox setup-expert setup-network settings and put ip address (something like this)
dreambox1 : ip 192.168.0.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway (ip address of the router)
DNS (ip address of the router)
If you dont have Internet connection leave Gateway and DNS blanc

dreambox2 : ip 192.168.0.2
subnet 255.255.255.0
gateway (ip address of the router)
DNS (ip address of the router)
If you dont have Internet connection leave Gateway and DNS blanc

Check the enable Networking chekbox

If you have a PC thats connect to internet (dialup or adsl) then you can put the pc's ip
as Gateway and DNS server in both boxes to give them internet access

IMPORTAND
If you have a router for the internet the ip of the 2 boxes MUST be in same
network as your router.
Examples:
If the router's Ip address is 10.0.0.1 then your boxes ips MUST be 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3
If your router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 then your boxes MUST be 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3

Now your boxes are connected... and with internet access (if its present)
************************************************** ********
EMU and CardSharing How to:

Install in your boxes one of new images.
I prefer PLi Diamod as gives you the choise to have separate server and client EMU.
In this example we will use as cardserver EMU the NewCS and as client EMU Newcamd
So download and install in the boxes the 2 EMUS (NewCS and Newcamd). If only 1 dreambox
it will act as a server then in the second one you dont need to install NewCS, only NEwcamd

Now we have to to configure the files for the sharing
************************************************** ********
Server configuration of the file Newcs.xml (/var/tuxbox/config)
(in the supplied zip there is a Newcs.xml file for this example)

Open the file with a plain text editor (i use UltraEdit)

Find the section <debug>
and then <udp_host>192.168.0.1</udp_host>
Here you put your server box ip

Then find <udp_port>10000</udp_port>
Here you put servers port

Find the section <newcamdserver>
and then the <name>testserver</name>
Here you put the name of your server (testserver)
Then find <deskey>01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14</deskey>
Here you put a login key for your users in this format
Then find
<user>
<name>username1</name>
<password>userpas1</password>
<au>on</au>
<spider>No</spider>
</user>
and put user name and password for your users
************************************************** ******************************

Server and client configuration of file Newcamd.conf (/var/tuxbox/config/newcamd)

(in the supplied zip there is a Newcamd.conf file for this example)
Open the file with a plain text editor

Find the line:

CWS = 192.168.0.1 10000 username1 userpas1 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 lan testserver

Line parts in plain English
1)192.168.0.1 --- ip address of the server (dreambox acting as server)
(the same as the one defined on newcs.xlm)
2)10000 --- port of the server (the same as the one defined on newcs.xlm)
3)username1 userpas1 --- username and pass of the client (the same as the one defined on newcs.xlm)
4)01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 --- access code (the same as the one defined on newcs.xlm)
5)lan -- leave this as lan
6)cardserv - name of the cardsharing server (the same as the one defined on newcs.xlm)
************************************************** ******************************

IMPORTAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Entrys in newcs.xml must be the same in the newcamd.conf
(ip addresses-servername-username-password-deskey)
All this is case sensitive (username it is not the same with UserName)

After saving transer the 2 files in your Dreambox and restart your boxes...
In lan setups this is ready to work
In wan setups you need a router or a dreambox plugin with DynamicDNS capabilities
