Since the general support, however, requires a driver update and specific conditions in the hardware, there is currently only available for the DM7020 HD. It is not excluded that it will follow for the other HD Dreambox with OE 2.0.
In addition to the new WMA and WMV-support in the drivers of the DM7020 HD, there was also a common for all Dreambox driver update.

This update Enigma2 has many multimedia improvements entails. For it has been made to the playback of FLAC. It should now be no problem, even FLAC files with a very high sample rate to reproduce what has not worked before. Especially for music lovers who place great value on the highest audio quality that is very good news.
Even with the network configuration was once again put his hand. So it was with some wireless adapters, the problem is that no wireless configuration items were visible. Also, the manual setting a DNS server does not have caused a few problems that should be fixed now.
Another great new feature that is included in the updates of the last days, the new teletext . There were a few changes at Enigma2 and certain functions. A detailed description of the new Teletext-ins, which is due to the many new features a "must-plug" for the new image, it is already here in the Dreambox in another blog article .
Above all, users of the web browser will look at the following inn***tion: it was an "experimental" virtual mouse added (circled in red in the screenshot below).
These can be activated with the red button - bottom right is "Mouse On", then the mouse is now active and can be controlled using the cursor keys on the remote control.
