Can you please explain - what are the problems ?

I only tested the simple streaming I normally do.

[ims]

yes, normal streaming works.
- try streaming file with 2 audio tracks ... for VLC < 2 on end of sout string is added " :sout-all" => is possible choose in Audio/Subtitle audio track
- transcode.append("soverlay") ... overlay subtitles
...

i am using it with option in server setting with : VLC 2.x Yes/No, becasue it is not compatible 1.x vs. 2.x

Here is my old version upgraded to supporting VLC2.x/1.x without new routine, but thanks pcd for invention.
@pcd: there was problem in feature of dictionary:
dict = { "a": "a", "b": "b", "c": "c" }
print dict
>>> { "a": "a", "c": "c", "b": "b" }
I am using list for it now.

In setup is added item for old VLC < 2.x and item for enable/disable using Cache Dir
I had not time for testing DVD and all its tracks/languages, but i think, in this time nobody streaming dvd's over vlc...

Yes, dictionary did not work. Also three options did not work. That is why I input the vlc cmd as string.

Hi,ims

I translated the plugin into the Russian language.
Any button press causes the crash-log.

problem is there: you may not translate

%(percentsign)s

in line 433 there in VlcServerConfig.py

Hello. Would someone care to explain from the beginning how Vlc works.. Im interested in streaming video from pc to dm vica versa. Vlc installed on dm500hd \enigma2 \openpli . How do I configure pc ? DM box ip 192.168.10.107 - PC ip 192.168.10.175
Appreciate it

[ims]

why you want streaming ? E2 boxes know playback most formats directly...

[kdamien]

How??, im pretty new to this.. Its not to be found at webinterface..

[ims]

share dir from PC, create Network mountpoint and then you can playback files with MoviePlayer (button VIDEO)

[kdamien]

Hehe, if you could be so kind to guide me to how I create a mountpoint we would be very happy.. Folders are shared but how and where do I setup mountpoint? On DM or PC.. using cuteftp to edit contents on DM.

[ims]

mountpoint you create on DM ... in Menu-Setup-System-Network-MountManager.

[kdamien]

Ok, so if computer is named kdb it will be \\kdb\e\ and ip adress. Anything else I need to tick off or configure exept windows settings ?

[ims]

Local share name: any name - is displayed then in dreambox
Mount type - cifs
Server IP: IP of your PC
Server share: shared name = name, which you set in PC to shared directory... \\kdb\e is not share name. May be: e
use as HDD replacement
Mount points: rw
Username
Password
