Great Guide Klona,

Great Guide !

Just to mention I just add a part on Mechatron VLC Client plugin, that allow divx viewing on dreambox, streamed from the PC with on the fly divx-mpeg2 conversion.

No more bugs report it seems, so beta becomes Final.
Red part with changes is still available in the online.rar package for translators.

Guys, I cannot imagine there is not a single italian, spanish neither german guy here that is enough interrested into the dreambox to do the translation.
Come on guys, bring your piece of 2 cents to the dreambox world.

At least... thank you very much Klona.

Hop. Just a small note to make it go up again.
Perhaps a mod can put it as sticky. I honestly think it worth it.

Just be careful that even if dreambox can managed files larger than 2 Gb, even if you have NTFS formatted hard drive in your PC that also allows files more than 2 Gb, this Samba plug in does not allow to transfer files larger than 2 Gb. This ends with an error when file reach 2 Gb on the target, during the copy.

this error is present also in ftp! when i try to copy a 3Gb file from PC to Db it blocks always at 2Gb with samba AND ftp

any idea how to fix?

x etnegar:

If I am not wrong, the Linux in the DB has a file size limit in 1Gb. If you transfer bigger files, you will experience problems in your DB file system.

Regards.

[etnegar]

after some test I think the limit is 2Gb
(even if the ts files are split in 1Gb chunk)
