Hi,

I have my dream box DM7000 up running with OpenPLI. (Enigma1). I have a internal HD in it, and I'm trying to use it so I can watch movies uploaded to the dream box from my PC (via FTP).
But seems like it doesn't work... I have tried .AVI .MPEG .MKV and so on, but it won't play.

Can anyone point me a doc or please tell how this is done? I want to use the Dreambox also as a media player, simply. For instance with VLC. But not watch TV on PC screen... not that way - the other way around... see downloaded movies on my TV, from sofa ;-)

thanks!

- augh

The dm7000 can only play mpeg2 in mpeg transport stream of mpeg2 in mpeg program stream. That's all. Don't forget it's technology from 2002.

I don't read PM -> if you have something to ask or to report, do it in the forum so others can benefit. I don't take freelance jobs.
Ik lees geen PM -> als je iets te vragen of te melden hebt, doe het op het forum, zodat anderen er ook wat aan hebben.

No, it's a hardware limitation.

Currently in use: VU+ Duo 4K (2xFBC S2), VU+ Solo 4K (1xFBC S2), uClan Usytm 4K Pro (S2+T2), Octagon SF8008 (S2+T2), Zgemma H9.2H (S2+T2)

Due to my bad health, I will not be very active at times and may be slow to respond. I will not read the forum or PM on a regular basis.

Many answers to your question can be found in our new and improved wiki.

You should be able to install a VLCFrontend/movieplayer type plugin to use VLC on your PC to transcode movies (located on your PC) and, stream them to your DB as mpeg2...
