I have the following information that may help: credit to
passete. I have just setup my db 8000 via a Nas network box
to stream video & would think the 500 would be similiar.
For a PC it's essential it has a password which I don't use
& a network password won't work.

Watch Videos from your pc (Win 7) With Dreambox
Here is an Exemple in how to see files (videos) from your PC.

- PC Windows 7 x64
- PC Name : torrent
- PC Password : 1234

The name and the password are very important, without password it won't work !
In this exemple i'm using the folder "Downloads" from my pc account.
Go to C: , Users, torrent, right click on downloads folder and choose "proprieties", Go to tab "Share" and enter, now enter "advanced Share" click the case "share this folder" validate after hit "ok".
We are done with the PC, you can repeat this step with others Folders if you want.

Now we go to Dreambox
Enter menu, setup, system, network and enter "Lan connection".
Go to "network browser", now you should see all your network devices, and in this case something like this: 192.168.1.14 (TORRENT-PC).

Now, enter "192.168.1.14 (TORRENT-PC)", Dream will ask if you want enter a name and password, choose "YES" and enter this : Name: torrent, Password: 1234 validate (enter OK).
Next, enter "Mounts Management" and choose "add new network mount point".

Active - Enable
Local share name - Sharename (or enter another name if you have several pc's or folders)
Mount Type - CIFS share
Server IP - 192.168.1.14
Server Share - downloads (or enter the folder you shared before on your pc)
Use as HDD replacement - no
Mount Options - rw
Username - torrent
Password - 1234

Now Hit "OK" to activate.
Now you should be able to see the folder on your pc.
In this video, i'm using dm8000 with last "NewNigma2" Image, but it's working also on my others boxes (enigma1 and enigma2).

Now enter Menu and choose "Media Player" or "Dvd Player" on left side of screen you should see all "devices" on your Dm8000, in my case i have : USB CF Reader, ST3250823AS(my hdd), Harddisk, Internal Flash and Sharename
On my Shared pc folder, i only have downloaded MKV's and Dvd's.
For Playing Video, i have choosed "Dvd Player" as you can see.
end quote.

Hope this helps & it must be mounted. You can use the name of PC.

Regards Rozzie.

I can stream from my DM500s but the picture is all pixelized. Every 2-3 seconds there is ugly mozaic all over the picture.

Any of you you know what I can do to solved this problem?

I am running OpenPli on a DM500s and have 100/100 as network speed.

This problem occurs both inside LAN as well as on the WAN-side.

Thanks in advice.

That problem is usually network speed or the network is underload doing other things.
