Hi all,
I already watch my dreambox, my tuned channel over the network. Excuse my english, I will try to be my best explanation about what can I do now without any mediaportal plugin. Maybe for all of you dreambox fans what I explain here are old news but could be usefull for some newers.
I am using a codec from BitControl that let you view the dreambox at the channel tuned. The BitControl Dreambox Bundle let you view over the network what is tuned on your box with Windows Media Player. Then MediaPortal can view Dreambox streaming video. I am doing it right now. Just copy one of the MyRADIO shorcuts and changing the link to the dreambox as you put it on the WMP. And works just fine in my wifi lan.
The problems are: no Dreambox-OSD streamed from Dreambox; no switching channels from MediaPortal. Sure there are more unconfortable things from using it as is.
Everything I need is just an interface to list channels from the dreambox and the posibility to switch between them. There must be a way to watch recorded movies too, I am looking on it.
My investigations have reached that you can switch channels on a dreambox over the net opening a link pointing to the box and using a command in cgi-bin, you can get the channel list too. So, with a lot of effor you can create some kind of shortcuts in the MP to switch channels but is really unconfortable and not practical at all.
A simple remote control interface to dreambox is what I need.
I develop from time to time but I am using DELPHI programming, is anybody developing plugins for MP with DELPHI?? See some code and start testing and surely develop MP plugins.
