your question
I've got my mac seeing the dreambox and I can take screengrabs, change channels etc, but I can't play video on the mac. I can't get dreamstream working as it says "connection refused. Web interface is too old". I'm a total newbie with this, so what can I do? It's dreamstream 0.77b and I'm using OSX 10.4.8 The dreambox is new too and was reinitialized only last week.

I downloaded the VLC player plug for safari but when I try to play video using Web-x-tv, I get a message "(no video)" where the video should be.

any suggestions?

thanks in advance.

I've kind of got around this problem by downloading iDreamX and mplayer (there's a download link in iDreamX when you open it if you don't already have mplayer installed). It works perfectly. Still don't know how to record, it starts then stops immediately, but at least I can watch tv on the mac now.
