Dear All,

I got a DM500C unit with latest Pli image. I can view my dm500c channels via my LAN. however it seems two PCs on the LAN cannot watch the same channel at the same time. always one PCs image will freeze. is this a limitation, or do i need to change any parameter to allow more than one streamming connection to the dm500c.

I am using vlc .8.6i versin, and i watcing channels directly from vlc (i.e. not via web interface).

thanks in advance for you help,

it's a limitation of enigma. It only supports 1 recording (or stream, internally a stream is the same as a recording)

Hi,

thanks for providing the facts.
in that case can I use VLC as a server, i.e. receive the dm500c stream and then allows multiple streams from the vlc server.
if so would you be able provide some guidance (or a link) how to configure the VLC fo this purpose.

thanks in advance
