Greetings for the Festive Season !
I post this method because users of the dm600 and dm7020 enigma2 images have difficulty using webif streaming. However, it should also be ok with the mipsel boxes (800, 7025 and 8000). Tested with vlc 0.8.6.
To stream currently playing channel :-
(1) Telnet command :-
wget -q -O - h**p://127.0.0.1/web/getpid
or
wget -q -O - h**p://dreambox-ip/web/getpid
The reply will be (or example):-
h**p://192.168.1.3:31339/0,200,a2,58
Start vlc media player and do :-
File -> Open File -> Network -> select HTTP and copy and paste the telnet pid reply. Press OK and streaming should start.
If streaming does not start - Restart vlc and do :-
File -> Open Network Stream -> select HTTP and copy and paste the telnet pid reply.
Select Stream/Save -> Settings -> select Play locally and Select all elementary streams -> press OK.
Record :-
To record - in Network Stream Stream/Save - select File.
Zap to another channel :-
Find the bouquet list from /etc/enigma2/bouquet
You can also get the bouquet name by telnet :
wget -q -O - h**p://127.0.0.1/web/getservices
Then get the service ref for the channels in a bouquet by (for example for 'favourites' bouquet) telnet :-
Save the channel ref (e2servicereference) list.
To zap to a channel - telnet (for example) :-
wget -q -O - h**p://127.0.0.1/web/zap?sRef=channel ref
