Hi,
For anybody interested I have modified the Movieplayer plugin (plugin provisionally named stream2db) to make it a simple stream client. Network streaming is started on the pc with vlc media player and then when the plugin is selected on db, play starts. Dvds, videofiles, music, playlists etc can be streamed. In fact anything that can be streamed by vlc can be played. If streaming stops for any reason, the plugin automatically reconnects. Tested with a dm5620 and vlc 0.8.5 but should work with the other boxes.
Sorry for writing in English, but as it may be of general interest I have posted here.
Regards, pcd.
