Hi from the UK.

I'm trying to set up streaming on my Dreambox and no matter what I try there is always a problem. Despite searching for a week, I have found no clear step by step way of doing this.

Following the instructions for Enigma TV, I get the epg info and the error message, "lost video, trying to reconnect"

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance.

Hi RSB,

Can you please tell me what model of dreambox you have ?
Some old DM500s have netwrok hardware issues, making video signal loss.
If you have another model, can you try to get the stream from the Dreambox WebIF ? Does that work ?
Also, is your box connected by a network cable ?

Best regards,

Thanks for your reply Sebastian

I have an DM800HD it is connected by cable (with a home plug)
I cannot get webif to work. It opens up VLC but says "VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://xxxx.dyndns.org:4321/1:0:1:2842:7FE:2:11A0000:0:0:0:'. Check the log for details."

I've opened all the ports that you have said on your you tube tutorials, the ones on dreamstreamoid (on both router and firewall) and still nothing.

Thanks for your help thus far.

Hi,

OK, we now know this is not related to the Enigma-TV tool ...
What I would do to check what is causing this :
- Remove the plugs and directly connect with a direct cable (just for testing)
- If it still doesn't work, this issue could come frm the image installed on the box, change it ... you can try the Newnigma2 or the openblackhole.

Best regards,

Thanks Sebastien. I'll try one of these image

Hi RSB,

There is something else I just realized ...
Why do you have your dyndns in the address of your WebIf ?
'http://xxxx.dyndns.org:4321/1:0:1:2842:7FE:2:11A0000:0:0:0:'

Aren't you in your network ???
You should be tp make this working ...
So this address should look like http://192.168.x.x:4321/1:0:1:2842:7FE:2:11A0000:0:0:0:

Same for Enigma-TV, it has to run on a PC in you network (at home)
Then you have to activate the Internet Control mode, and so you can access the Enigma-TV web interface (the web media player) from outside of your network.

Best regards,

Hi Sebastien

The Dyndns address is the only way to get webif working. 192.168.1.xxx doesnt work.

The PC is on the network.

I have updated my image to Newenigma2 and still no luck :(

Hi,

The PC is on the same network than the Dreambox ?
In other words, does the PC have the same IP range than the Dreambox ?

Tell me both IPs ...
What you say is really strange and looks to me to be a network setup issue.

I will try to help you fixing this but please give me all details.

Thx

Thank you Sebastien

There is something very odd going on.

I couldn't even connect to my Dreambox from my PC (webif, ftp,etc), so I reset my Dreambox and PC.

They are both on the same network.

Now I can now get the streaming on the Enigma TV app and through network (Yay).

I can also connect to my webif over the internet, but cannot stream.

Regards

Hi RSB,

Cool, the tool works now !
Ok, you don't need to have your WebIf trought the Internet, what you need is to redirect the Enigma-TV web & stream ports ... in other words you have to redirect the 'public' web port and the stream port to your 'local' PC IP address.
Then from the outside you will access the web interface from Enigma-TV (not the WebIf from your Dreambox !!!)

Best regards,
