[QUOTE="QuickJack, post: 523424, member: 66422"] Hi papas, thank you for doing a test and sending a screen shot. I see that communications with your box is generally working. However, reading back the bouquet list is done without the use of the VLC plugin. If you access the MyDreamDboxTV plugin from within MediaPortal it tries to use the VLC COM-component which is obviously causing an exception on your machine. To resolve this problem, I suggest doing the following: (1) It is important to note, that the COM-component inluded in VLC 1.0 is totally different to previous versions of VLC. As a result, running the MyDreamDboxTV plugin on a machine which has the VLC 1.0 COM-component registered, causes problems (2) You must install VLC 0.8.6 AFTER VLC 1.0. If you don't want to do that, there's fix. You must manually register/ unregister the COM-components. This is described in the next step. (3) Start MediaPortal and try again to access the MyDreamDboxTV plugin. You should not see any exceptions. To manually registering/ unregistering VLC COM-components: 1.) Click "Start>Run" and enter "cmd" 2.) Change to the folder were you installed VLC 1.0 and enter "regsvr32 /u axvlc 3.) Change to the folder where you installed VLC 0.8.6 and enter "regsvr32 axvlc Greetings, QuickJack [/QUOTE]
