Since so many people are asking about the Dreambox, here's what I have been able to do so far:

Point your browser to http://192.168.0.2/cgi-bin/streaminfo (switch for your dreambox ip). You shoud see something like:

Code: Select all

Name: SVT 1 
Provider: unknown 
Service reference: 1:0:1:1388:7:56:320000:0:0:0: 
VPID: 1389h (5001d) 
APID: 138ah (5002d) 
PCRPID: 1389h (5001d) 
TPID: 138eh (5006d) 
TSID: 0007h 
ONID: 0056h 
SID: 1388h 
PMT: 1388h 
Video Format: 720x576 (4:3)

Start VLC and chose "Open network stream...". Check HTTP/FTP/MMS and type 192.168.0.2:31338/1389h,138ah into the empty field (again, switch for your ip). The two hexadecimal numbers at the end are the VPID and APID found above. This will give you picture, but no sound.

Please, if someone solves the sound problem, post a solution here!

It also works fine with 4:2:2 chroma feeds !!!

I wonder why the audio is not being passed through?

I just tried 0.8.0-test2 and there's still no audio.

I've tried to enter http://192.168.0.24/cgi-bin/streaminfo/ (my dreambox's ip). This directory doesnt exist on my DB... is this correct?

you can find the VPID/APID several places on the web interface as well as on the dreambox itself (well, tv screen) if you press info twice (fast) ..
