Dear dreamobox enthousiastics ( and DR.Best ).

I have at my main location a dm8000 available and remote a dm800. The connection between these over vpn is max 5Mbit, therefore streaming the HD channels definitely do not work with partnerbox as it is available today; simply because HD bitrate is between 10-15Mbit and exceeds the available bandwidth. It would be great if the partnetbox plugin can be extended so it can downsize stream to 5Mbit ( where 0Mbit is unlimited ) when needed, I foresee problems compressing as the dm8000 has a 400cpu mipsel and dm800 has a 300cpu but maybe an external pc ( either linux or windows ) can help out here.

partnerbox settings would be then:

name: dreambox, ip: 192.168.x.y, port: 80, Enigma-Type: Enigma2, password: xxx, servicelists/epg: use external, zap to service when streaming: no, max thruput: 5 (where 0 is unlimited), use external cpu to downsize ( if needed at all ).

Would such scenario be possible, or things can be done way easier?

ok then an external cpu should be used, it would be great if that add on can be developed for partnerbox somehow.

So piece of software on windows or linux server ( xbmc or vlc ) as well add on in partnerbox to use the features on external pc.

What cpu would be required, eg 2core atom 1,6 (ionitx)?
