Hi All, Trying to watch dreambox clone through PC. Am i correct in thinking that i should be able to watch my dreambox clone through the (Enigma Web interface - Dreambox ) that i get when i put the clone IP address into internet explorer. I can change the channels on the box/tv from the web interface. When i click the (VLC) button i am asked if i want to either save or open a (Video.m3u file).

Also if i try to use the (web-x-tv) button it just opens another page with a big traffic cone on and it says click here to activate, once i do this nothing happens.

I have also tried using (bitcontrol) and (TuxvisionR) but can not watch the cloned box through my pc !

Been on 2 days now trying to sort it out ! and i am starting to get a little bit annoyed.

Can anyone spare a few mins to maybe tell me where i am going wrong or how to sort out this problem.

Any help greatly received

Cheers DGC808
 
It could be an image problem. Some images just don't like streaming very much. Which one are you using? The Neutrino images can be a bit hit'n-miss. 0.9b is the best one, but I can't remember how well it handles streaming.
 
open up vlc and go to settings then preferneces tick the advanced box down at the botton right hand side :)

now click on stream output and choose general under default stream chain type ALL in caps and tick all the boxes aswell now click save :)

restart vlc now open up ya browser and go to you enigma web interface and click on the web-xtv link give it a upto 15 sec and u should see your picture

cheers

Hi Osborne82, 1st off thanks for the reply m8 ! I have tried all the things you said, followed it step by step. When i clicked on the web-x-tv thing a new window popped with the channel name as before, it said it was downloading and then it said it was done and i left it for a couple of mins but nothing else happens!

Any more ideas ?

Try changing the Tuner type

Press the Blue button for the plugins menu

Select (1) DW Dream Menu

Then Tuner Selection

I find that streaming only works when Tuner is set to Old.
 
Hi Jemelvyn, I tried what you said and tried changing the tuner to old but still no luck. I am currently running a www.digitalworlds image on this clone ! Would trying a different image make any difference ? If so which image ? as i am not up to speed with the images for DM500c or the cloned version which i have.

Cheers dgc808
 
I'm using digitalworldz 1.65.

Have you tried clicking on the Wev-X TV link in the top left?
 
Hi, Yes i have been messing with that web x tv for a few hours now but no luck !

I changed the tuner from alt to old and the bloody web-x-tv/vlc media thing sprung into life and i was watching my dreambox on my pc ! AT LAST ! It has only taken me 2 days and a lot of badgering of you guys on this great forum and a bit of post reading to get it to work ! The picture goes a bit blocky on some channels ! but hey what do you want !

I would like to give a big shout out to every one who gave me advice on how to watch my dreambox on my pc !

Im trying to access dreambox through my mobile so i can change the channels, but my blackberry keeps coming up saying "you are unorthirized to view this page" ive put the password and username in but it still doesnt allow me to connect to the web interface.

help please?:)
 
Are you accessing from outside your LAN?

Perhaps the firewall isn't allowing your BB's WAN IP or maybe the port forwarding rule doesn't allow the webif port to be accessed from outside your LAN..

If you're within the LAN, just assign an ip range (to cover your WiFi DHCP IP range) in the trusted hosts area..This prevents the need to log in..

Box Control > Config > Settings > Trusted Hosts
