Hmm, appending vlc:quit to the vlc command line ends the VLC process, this can easily be detected, video.m3u re-fetched and the streaming continued

However, I have found a new problem.

If I use the Dreambox to record a TV channel, I cannot view the channel over the HTTP interface at the same time. Has anyone else run into this? Found any workarounds?

If I am streaming, say BBC World, the contents of video.m3u will be http://158.xx.xx.xx:31339/0,0101,0201,0284,1ffd , if I change to another channel, the contents of video.m3u might become http://158.xx.xx.xx:31339/0,0101,0222,0222,1ffd and that will cause the VLC streaming to stop, as it will no longer be recieving data.

VLC will at that point need to re-fetch video.m3u, and re-start.

The problem is doing that automatically and seamlessly, so my question is if it is possible to get a stream from the DreamBox at one permanent address not changing as the channel changes.

Thanks, that is working out quite nicely, until someone changes the channel . . .

The problem is the contents of the video.m3u file: http://158.xx.xx.xx:31339/0,0101,0201,0284,1ffd

Is there any way to get a video-feed for VLC independent of the current channel, as the current solution requires a new video.m3u file each chane you change channels.

your question

Hi,

I am writing a wrapper interface with user authentication and event scheduling for multiple DreamBoxes.
And while I can now easily reserve events, either as DVR or ZAP, for a certain timeframe, I am having problems deleting them again.

I know that the /deleteTimerEvent HTTP cgi is the right interface, but I cannot make it work.

I know that http://dreambox/deleteTimerEve…49423000&type=34&force=no

will delete the event that starts at 04-06-2006 14:10 CET, but I have no clue how maps to that date, and back again, and without that format, I cannot seem to delete the timerevent, even though it always reports timer event deleted sucessfully.

Thank you in advance for any help, pointers or guides.

your question

I am currently working on building a multi-user, multi-dreambox setup, and for data transmission we would like to use RTP multicast, as the built in unicast does not work for multiple users, and IP multicast is supported by our network infrastructure.

I have been searching the internet for a working solution to this problem, but have found none.
Do any of you have any good pointers to documentation or working solutions to getting a multicast stream directly from the DreamBox?

(I found that the BitControl software for Windows does this from a separate computer, but the server
park needs to be all linux, and directly from the Dreambox would be prefered.)

Thank you, I shall look into that

Edit: Looked into to it, and found all that I needed

your question

Greetings,

I am working on a project were we are going to be using DreamBoxes for satelite recepetion, and then send it over IP to any interested party within the building.

We have set up a pool of DreamBoxes for this use, and I am now looking at how to best remove control the various DreamBoxes.

The Enigma GUI is great, for single user mode, but for pooling and multiple access levels, I need to create a top level web GUI, and that needs to control the various DreamBoxes.

I have been searching on the net, but I can find little info on how to remote control a Dreambox using other tools than the web GUI itself, so if anyone has any good advice, or pointers to documentation, I would be gratefull.
