Thanks all. I don't have any problem sreaming from either box. So let me rephrase.
I can watch ithe DM500 from both the PC "http://192.168.0.5:31344 inside a DM500.m3u file on my desktop"
and on the XP1000 "http%3A//192.168.0.5%3A31344 as a stream entry on my channe list".
If I use the remote control on the DM500 to change channel even while streaming, the channel changes and so do both streams (small delay).
When trying to watch the stream from the XP1000 on my PC (Win8.1-64),
I have to first stop the stream, either by closing vlc or using web-if to zap, which is pretty tedious (Open browser, open web-if, find channel in bouquet, zap wait for zap then activate stream) when I only want to watch what is currently being watch locally on the box.
I can make a m3u file for each specific channel, but it wont zap, It will run vlc if the box is allready on that channel.
Basically I don't need control of the stb (XP1000) just watch what is currently being tuned/played on it.
thanks Colin
