well,
I have set up port forwarding to access my dm800 outside my lan and all works as far as i can access dreambox webcontrol page..
Problem is when i go to stream a channel, i download stream.m3u, vlc starts but then i get the following error:

The following errors occured, more details might be available in message window

Unable to open 'http://****.homedns.org:8001/1:0:1:18AE:7FD:2:11A0000:0:0:0:'

(****) being part of my dyndns address

Am i doing something wrong or do i have to configure vlc on remote pc or dreambox settings?

Just uninstalled vlc 0.8.6 and in stalled 0.9.9 and i get the following error message when i try to stream.
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://*****.homedns.org:8001/1:0:1:18AE:7FD:2:11A0000:0:0:0:'. Check the log for details.

have you setup port forwarding for ports vlc needs open? there is a few strange ones i cant remember off hand. also it aint going to great of a picture due to bandwidth.

To get the best you want to setup a pc at home which connects to the reciever and does the encoding, you then connect to that pc remotely.
