Dear Members,
I am interested in watching online streams on my Dreambox. I have done quite some digging and found to solutions to solve this problem.
Solution # 1:
Use the stream capturing software like Cool-Recorder1.2aSetup or SDP_v2_3_0. Save the file to a location you have mentioned in the VLC F share folder. The file is written in .asf format. The theory is that the software appends information at the end of the file and the dreambox can start reading the file from the start. So the PC is saving the file using the Streaming software and the Dreambox is reading the file by using VLC F plug-in.
This option did not work for me.

Solution # 2:
Create this file on PC:
name: CBLFilm.bat
Paste following information in the file
-------------------------------
cd \Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC
vlc.exe -vvv "mms://151.1.245.71/cblfilm-live" --sout "#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=2048,scale=1,acodec=mpga,ab=192,c hannels=2}:dupl
icate{dst=std{access=udp,mux=ts,dst=192.168.1.2:5000}}"
--------------------------------------
function: vlc access the TV live site and broadcast the stream for dreambox
note: 192.168.1.2 is the PC ip address
****** step: 2
Create this file on PC:
name: Broadcast.m3u
Paste the following content in the file
-------------------------------
udp://@192.168.1.2:5000
--------------------------------------
function: this file has to be open later on dreambox via VLCF
to access the broadcast stream
****** step: 3
activate on PC an other vlc, as You normally do when You prepare the environment to use VLCF on dreambox
****** step: 4
Go to dreambox , activate VLCF, open the file Broadcast.m3u
This solution is better as the PC does not has the save the file on the PC as the first approach uses. Unfortunately the VLC F could not read the file and this approach also did not worked for me.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a better way to watch Internet stream on dreambox via PC. Thanks!
