VLC : stream from PC to dream

[toto84]

Hi,
Under PLI Flubber, how can I configure VLC so that I can play and stream a video from my computer to my dreambox (it is on the same network that the computer) ?

This plugin may work (used to work with diamond, flubber not tested) :-

Plugin stream2db

Regards, pcd.

OK, I installed Stream2db.
During installation, I have some trouble :
I followed the readme.txt, but first i'm not sure that the plugin is recognized by the box only by adding the specified files, is there noting else to do ?

After that, on the computer, i'm told to do :
> (2) At pc, start VLC, select Settings>Preferences>input-serverport 8080
> and interface-extrainterface http. Save/close.
But I have no such menu (i'm using vlc 0.8.5)

And of course, my file won't appear on the tv !

What is wrong ??

It seems that I have to install libcurl.so2, where to find it ?

Hi,

(1) With vlc 0.8.5 do the following :-

Settings > Preferences > Reset all > Interface - tick Advanced options > Main interfaces > Extra interface module - select/tick HTTP remote control > HTTP - host address type 8080 > Save > Restart.

(2) libcurl.so.2 attached. Ftp to /var/lib, chmod 755 and reboot. If 7020, then I think it should be /USR/lib.

Good luck !

pcd.

It works, thank you pcd !

For those who will use the same softs, It is important to note that firewall has to be desactivated or configured to let the dreambox connect.

Bye.
