welcome
Welcome to this page, its devoted to a little PHP script i developed for the Dreambox. The dreambox is a digital satellite receiver wich can stream its output to lan-clients. This raw stream is too big for sending over internet. It has to be transcoded by a program such as VLC
Over the internet streaming acquires a lot of hassle to adjust the dreambox and vlc to eachother, thats where my script comes in! I have built a frontend to VLC with the ease to easily choose from the services wich are available from your dreambox. Want to know how it works? click the link above or read below and learn more!

How does this thing works?:
Well i have this very professional picture overhere that could explain a lot

As you can see you will need a server (preferably Linux) wich runs a webserver capable of parsing PHP, and of course runs VLC.
Features
* View your favorite TV channels (and soon recordings) from all over the world
* Administer multiple dreambox from the one server in the same subnet
* Adjust streaming quality in a second without a hassle
* Ability for fullscreen viewing
* Handy debug window for checking if VLC does run and check how many viewers
Installation:
Click on the link above to download the latest version! Here is a basic installation description. As im not a real guru i might change a thing or two when i get some feedback.
* Download the Re-stream package
* Unpack it to a web accesible directory, such as /var/www/re-stream
* Edit your dreambox settings in settings.php
* Also be sure to put the right IP numbers for the Lan & Wan interfaces in settings.php
* Make an extra portmapping to your vlc server in your router for the stream, default in settings.php is 8888
* To run vlc from PHP sudo is needed, make sure if you have it, but i think is a basic tool in linux)
* Edit the sudo rules from the command "visudo" as the user root
* I used this line to get the user "www-data" all priviliges without asking for a password:
www-data ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
* Now visit the script by using firefox with the enabled firefox-vlc plugin, if you dont have a plugin, please (re)install VLC and mark the option for the firefox plugin
Windows server notes:
In order the run the php interface on a windows server you are going to need
Pstools..., installed in C:\pstools.
Please give me some feedback if the windows version is working.
