Stream dreambox video on LAN


This example is based upon an EDG image, an image developed in Italy, using a CCcam2 softcam and a regular contract for Sky Italy.
Install browser plugin
Browse VLC website, look for download page for the "Web browser plugin" who fits your platform (PPC or Intel).
Download the plugin, install it, restart the browser.
Install browser plugin
Activate the stream from the browser
Click on "WEB-X-TV" link, the stream window will open.
Activate the stream from the browser
Listen to stream
The browser opens the Stream window.
If everything worked fine you’ll be able to listen to the stream (the stream follows the TV output after about 1 second of delay).
Listen to stream
What if the stream didn’t start?
Clos stream window, go back to browser drambox window.

When the stream doesn’t start the most probable cause is a misalignment between the channel tuned on the dreambox and the channel that the web interface thinks is actually tuned.

Ensure tat the web interface fits the same channel on the TV, by zapping the channel on the web interface.
Wait the title of the event is properly refreshed, then click again the stream link.
