Yes the streaming performance of the dm600 is much better. But this still won't get your stream through a standard adsl internet connection. You'll need an extra server with vlc to do transcoding. Search for re-stream if you want to know how.

I dont have adsl, I got 10/10 fibre mbit at the house where the dreambox are located. And at the house where I want to watch from my tv I got 100/100.

I allmost get it to work now with my dm 500, but it's buffring every other second.

I now use PLI image, before when I had an old image , Don't know witch scene it was made of. It worked properly.

Do you think It will work if I buy a dm600?

[Sjaaky]

Oh wait. I forgot to look back in the thread. Well if the internet connection is steady a dm600 should work better.
Did I already told you to increase http access buffer time in vlc? Try values like 5 seconds or even more.

[Nikkisiixx]

No you didnt where in VLC do I do that? Thanks for all your fast answers!

[Sjaaky]

Go to preferences. Set it to advanced or all. Go to input/codecs. Go to access modules. Go to http. And set the buffersize in ms to 1000 or 5000, or even higher. Just experiment. Default is 300, which is too low usually.

[Nikkisiixx]

Im using the newest version of VLC I can go to input/codecs, but I dont see any http

[Nikkisiixx]

I FOUND HTTP(S) at access modules it says catching value in MS 1200

Is that what you are talking about?

[Sjaaky]

Caching value. That's the one.

[Nikkisiixx]

Nah, didn't get it better. Thanks anyways. I think I have to open my wallet and buy a dm600.

[Sjaaky]

I don't take any responsibility if it the dm600 doesn't work any better though .

[Nikkisiixx]

Off Course, if it Doesn't work, it's all your fault =)

I got this answer in another forum.

You can generally say that dm 500 you can't stream or record from network without lagg.

But some people get it to work by:

- Some images are better at streaming then others.

- Close down some services on the d-box.

- Only stream channels with low bitrate

- Some specific VLC versions works better than others

etc etc.

Dreambox 600, handles streaming muuuuch better. Than the 500.

Is this accurate?

[Roodkapke]

Yes

[Nikkisiixx]

I haven't bought an dm 600 yet, the main reason is that when I compare the 500c and 600c , reading the hardware facts, there seem not to be any difference at all.

So what is the difference?

[Sjaaky]

Support for internal harddisk,
Support for timeshift,
View one and record one channel (on same transponder),
Better network interface,
16bit osd support.

[Nikkisiixx]

Is there any services/programs on the dreambox that I can try to turn off without screwin something big up? So the dreambox uses less memory. I'm talking about my DM500.

[Sjaaky]

There is not so much you can do. It will give you more memory, but it probably won't improve streaming.

[Nikkisiixx]

My mother taught me that I can do anything!! So you're saying my mother raised me wrong?

[Sjaaky]

Ok, prove it! And let us know the answer

[Nikkisiixx]

Ok my DM600 arrived today, thought you guys wanted a update. So far I Can't get streaming with VLC work correct, BUT it works great with Windows Media Player. So it was totally worth it.

I think the picture quality on regular television improved to, can that be true?
