dm800 clone gemini web interface

tapfit2004 · Mar 16th 2011

my mate is using a dm800 clone with the original fw that was loaded on it when he bought it about 4 months ago.

i have pli on my dm500 and it works perfect, i can use the web tv with no problems through the router on the local network.

when i try to use his web tv through his local network in his house the picture doesn't come up and in general the web interface is slow to respond.

i am using a linksys router which it not great but it seems to have no problems with speed between the dm500 and the rest of the network. he is using a belkin router.

i am wondering if this is just a problem with the gemini image or have i some settings wrong?

the dm800 is hosting an al jazeera card for the last month or so with no problems at all.

maybe using pli on the dm800 would improve this?

looking at the poll at the top of this section, pli seems to be favoured over other images, but not by much.

thanks.

I would try using another image, remember this is a clone so the firmware on it will not be origininal. Pli is good but my own favourite and some others on here is the dream elite images by prz team. Just make sure the image you choose is compatabile with the sim that is in the box. The web interface on the 800 clone should perform just as well as your 500 so i would definatley look at changing it.

I dont want to hijack this thread but does a clone image have to be installed through dreamup and a cable rather than meoboot?

**master G** · Mar 16th 2011

Clone images are installed by internet explorer/firefox normally the same as an original 800. Only if you were having problems should you need to use dreamup.
If you use a multiboot agent such as meoboot/barry allen installation is a combination of dcc and your multiboot plugin.

There are two options for installing an image on flash.
Through your browser which takes 2 minutes or by using dreamup which takes around an hour.
If you want to use meoboot then you will need one image installed in flash and the rest of the images nfi file in meoboots folder /media/hdd/mbootupload.
When you restart the receiver it boots to meoboot menu giving the option to choose which image you want.

The changelogs in the newer images state a web interface fix, so installing a new image will fix it.
I'm still using an older image where the webtv doesn't work.

You could also try installing the most recent drivers for the DM800 clone.
Have a look here Patched drivers for dm800 clone latest.

What image are you using mate?
The only one ive had to apply a fix for was nemesis 2.1

**ddaddy** · Mar 16th 2011

Unofficial dream elite v.133dv3 phoenix edition

**master G** · Mar 16th 2011

using this for months, web interface works 100%
Press green select webinterface and configure it.

**ddaddy** · Mar 16th 2011

I have the Interface working and passworded, but can't get the WebTV part of it working. Maybe i'm missing a browser plugin?

**master G** · Mar 16th 2011

I think your right there mate, when i first used it i was prompted to install vlc plugin ( i think )
using firefox here, but web tv working with ie too.

thanks for the replies, i will look into dreamelite and pli as an alternative.

the vlc plugin is installed on my laptop but the web tv still wouldn't work from his box even with my laptop.

i need to do some reading to find out what sim is in the box.

**master G** · Mar 16th 2011

To find out what sim and bootloader the DM800 has try this,,
Pull the plug, then hold the power button on the front panel and power up again.
Watch the led screen, it will show you the sim and bootloader information..

tapfit2004 · Mar 16th 2011

Its a sim 201. Going to try dreamelite and see What happens.
Thanks again for the help.

Try Tunisiasat addons manager 3.0 it has the extra url download and all the plugins you will need. Its an ipk file so you can install by using DCC, click tools, ipkg packages, upload package.

If you are working on your friends receiver then i would recommend using Teamviewer.
Its brilliant for remote access because it gives you full control over his pc but he can see everything that you are doing..

You do not need to open ports if you controlling via local network mate.
