This is a very easy and simple method to stream your dreambox over the internet to almost any media device. I use it to watch dreambox on my mobile and laptop when im on the move.
What you will need is:
1.) PLI image flashed on your dreambox - latest image here
If you have pixilation issues, you need the old frame buffer version
Streaming does not always work with gemini images, so i highly recommend using the PLI releases.
2.) VLC media player found here
3.) Combined Communtiy codec pack found here
You may not need this but it is worth installing to prevent any streaming issues
4.) If you dont have a static IP address, you will need a dynamic dns address more info here
So the first and probably most complicated thing to do is setup your ports on your PC/Router:
Forward the following port to your PC IP that will be running VLC -> 8080
Forward the following port to your Dreambox IP -> 80 (and possibly 21 - not essential, only for FTP)
Refer to Pic here for visual instructions. This was on a linksys router and other manufacturers will look different, although the principle is the same.
Now the easy part !!!
Open vlc player -> Media -> open network - refer to my pic
Under network tab select HTTP -> enter http://IP.of.Dreambox:31344 - then click the dropdown menu next to play and select stream - refer to my pic
Then tick HTTP and type in the IP address of the PC that will be running VLC and the port (8080)
Choose your stream settings (these will depend on available bandwith) and click select all elemntary streams, and TTL: 5
Again, look at the pic here
My setup is:
Encapsulation MPEG - TS
Video codec H-264 at 256 kb/s - scale 0.4
Audio MP3 64 kb/s 1 channel
- Then click stream!!!
Video pic - Audio Pic
My setup gives best image for minimum bandwidth usage
On your other system/handheld/laptop or whatever, open network stream in VLC or any other decent player and enter your domain/static IP:8080
Now your VLC will stream your dreambox channel. If you change the channel remotely through enigma, the stream will also change channel... far better than only being able to watch one channel that you have chosen from dream stream or similar program.
to change channel, just enter you domain/staic IP:80 in a browser, and you will be faced with the enigma web interface page!
WOW!!! Happy Zapping
If you have a problem streaming, make sure that any software firewall on your PC is not blocking port 8080 on your PC, or port 31344 & 80 on your dreambox...!
