VLC and dreambox

Hello everyone.

I'm trying to configure vlc to watch video stream from my dreambox 500s, but i've some problem. Here's how dreambox's streaming works: video always streams from single address, for example

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.4:31344
When I want to switch the channel, I have to send a specific GET-request (or just open it in browser). Request looks like

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.4/cgi-bin/zapTo?path=1:0:1:508d:6:70:170000:0:0:0:
, where part after path= is unique for each channel. So, the problem is: how to make vlc, when clicking on item in playlist, send that GET-request and then open video stream from http://192.168.0.4:31344?

Any advices will be helpful =)
