Playing Dreambox .TS files?

I have the same problem in OSXBMC with .ts files recorded on my back-end media server with DVB-T receiver card. Symptom is it's buffering the file for a long time (several minutes) then just end buffering and returns to the file listing within XBMC without. I've been using VLC and XBMC on Xbox together with this back-end server for about 3 years and they've never had any problems playing these files.

Wohoo!

The ffmpeg update of the 0.5.0b4 release seems to have solved this issue. At least it now works for me. pasurimi, you might want to verify this as well.

Yes, XBMC 0.5.0b4 can play now Dreambox .TS files
Thanks for resolving the problem!!

Sorry to say the linux version is still not working as of svn build 13361

And I was mistaken.. it plays .ts files fine now.. has to run ./xbmc.bin nowdays

But browsing the dreambox got broken instead.

You mean browsing it with Filemanager or with Enigma2v0.1 plugin?

Built a new version and now browsing works again.. streaming is still broken

I have found the problem why streaming does not work.
streamts (the streaming server on the dreambox) does not like when XBMC send http HEAD request. actually any HTTP request that streamts is not ready to stream with will will make streamts hang for an undetermined time, usually about 10 seconds.

Workaround:
XBMC/xbmc/FileSystem/FileCurl.cpp on line 670
if(m_url.Left(5).Equals("http:") || m_url.Left(6).Equals("https:"))

if you make this if statement fail if for instance there was m_url.Port we could skip this if the port is 31339 (default streamts port).
Currently I just make it fail but I guess other things will break

My primitive but perfectly functioning (without any any file-modifications) method to stream from Dreambox to XBMC:

- connect to the webinterface of Dreambox using a browser like Firefox
- generate an save (e.g. on dektop) different stream*.m3u files of your desired services (channels)
- simply open this stream*.m3u files with XBMCs filemanager and enjoy a perfect streaming

But this is not an elegant method -that's why i'm tryig to get Enigma2v0.1 plugin to stream from 7025 but still not succeeded. Can somebody help on this?

I made a patch for the linux version to make tuxbox client work. it's much better

Apply my patch and got video and add source.. choose browse and select tuxbox client instead of SMB. Then add IP user/pw to the dreambox and bom, you can now browse and play your favorite channels. Much better then going via firefox I think.

Let me know if it works for you
