This may be a long shot, but is it possible to stream my dbox to a pc over the Internet?
Or even better, to an iPhone?
Streaming video?

I can do it from Media portal to an iPad so it should be possible in theory, I don't know much about dreams though.
-
If memory serves me correct you can do this via VLC
-
Go into enigma web interface and click on web x-tv, or if you have vlc player click on vlc in enigma web interface, hope that works m8

Ok, you can do it on the same network to a pc easily using vlc as above, but to do it over the net I use Orb (there's an app for the iphone) & a capture card.
You only need orb live free cos it randomly picks channels, but as your dreambox only sends one channel (the one your dreambox is watching) & you can change it remotely over the net (I use dreamote app for the iphone) that isnt a problem.
-
I thought there might have been a way without a capture card.
Can you login to the Web-X remotely? -
Unless you have a good upload speed from where the box is...you may be dissapointed with the results ;)
-
2.5MB upload :-)
-
Should stream OK at that
-
careful which port you leave open for streaming through the net,,,,,,,,,it means its open for one + all,,,so protect it well with pass....

How do I get this working with vlc?
I'm using PLi and can see the web-x option (which won't work on my iPhone!) but don't see a vlc option.
Is there a stream URL I can put into vlc? -
-
Clicking the web-x link just started playing anyway.
I was hoping there was a vlc stream URL I could put into vlc on my iPhone as the web-x doesn't work in safari. -
-
I've actually just discovered that the stream runs on port 31344
So simply entering into vlc your box ip and port like this http://192.168.1.2:31344 runs the stream. But it's very jerky on the iphone.
-
try reducing the stream quality, sounds like your upload is a little slow to handle the stream.
-
Yeh, this is on internal WiFi though, but it's direct from the stream, no encoding/decoding in between.
