@Gamester17
well if dreambox-tv should be a part or a feature for the next official xbmc release, why not! but we need then a ok for the implementation, so then wen can dev in c++ instead of using the python!

if you code guys code a patch for it we will add it, however we can't test or maintain it as no devs on team-xbmc has a dreambox/dbox.
ps! same goes for if someone code a patch for controlling tivo and/or replaytv boxes, we can add one combined section for those

@GeminiServer

ur doing great work and i thank you for using your own time to design it, but from reading here, it seems your the only person here who has the plugin working. i have the dreambox 7000s and i have entered all the correct details in to the python file, but still its saying that it cant connect to the dreambox. i can ftp in to my dreambox and i can update emu's in to it through my router. so im lost, to why i cant stream from dreambox to xbox. if u have any time, could u please help the people here who cant seem to get it working and tell us what exactly you have done to get it working.any info would be much appreciated, tx in advance


ps: i haved the the 10-7-2004 build

q: i enter the right information in to the script! but can't stream
a: check the path you installed the script! it must be in xbmcroot\scripts\dreambox-tv\*.*

/e/apps/xbox.media.center.v1.0.xbox-htb/scripts/dreambox-tv/ (thats from flashfxp(the folder name is from an older build) )

q: all above settings are done! i can't stream!
a: be sure you set the xbmc cache for http:video up to 4032 or higher! [best is to set 8064]

there is no http:video on mine so i take it u mean internet:video . i set this to 8192kb( 8064 isnt there)

q: all settings and all file are ok! but i can't stream!
a: try first to stream from a freetv channel!

have tried it with all the fta german channels i can think of

q: i tried to stream from a freetv channel. i can't stream!
a: then maybe your dreambox has an very old image on it! go and get the latest one! [current: release 1.08 ]http://www.dream-multimedia-tv.de]

the image i have is about a month old, an edited version of the latest rudream at that time. its not 1.08 though, but its my brothers dreambox and this image we have now is perfect so i dont really want to change it.

q: i have the latest cvs xbmc and latest dreambox image and all settings are ok!
a: post the last part from xbmc.log here, the we will see whats happening!

i hope u can spot something wrong if u have time to look at it. tx in advance

[pathetic]

:thumbsup:
i got it working now on dbox, it seems you have to stop sectionsd before streaming and the hex tip was also a good hint
@GeminiServer thx for your script

im trying to implement zapping now

[pathetic]

@GeminiServer

im nearly as far as you with my dbox script, i'm using the same ui template :lol:
its now possible to switch channels and stream
last thing is: is it possible to record the stream to disk ... ?

[pathetic]

this is a very simple script for the dbox2 with neutrino
i am workign on a better version with more features but it runs a bit unstable - so if anyone wants to try it feel free
thx to geminiserver for his script

import xbmc,xbmcgui
import os, urllib, string, stringio

# dbox settings
ip   = '192.168.1.100'
# default 31337 (ps), or 32339 (ts)
port = ':31337'
url = 'http://'+ip
vpid = '0'
apid = '0'
selected = ''
channels = []
bouquets = []

def show_channellist():
     dialog = xbmcgui.dialog()
list = []
channel_ids = []
channellist = urllib.urlopen(url+'/control/channellist')
for line in channellist.readlines():
list.append(line[line.find('\x20'):])
channel_ids.append(line[:line.find('\x20')])
selected = dialog.select('channels', list)
returncode = urllib.urlopen(url+'/control/zapto?'+channel_ids[selected])
dialog.ok("channel", "selected: " + list[selected]+' channel id: '+channel_ids[selected]+' code: '+returncode.readline())

def stream_dbox2():
       fp   = urllib.urlopen(url+'/control/zapto?getpids')
       dec_vpid = fp.readline()
       dec_apid = fp.readline()
       fp.close()

       vpid = hex(int(dec_vpid))[2:]
       apid = hex(int(dec_apid))[2:]
       print 'streaming from dbox vpid: '+vpid+' apid: '+apid
       file = url+port+'/'+vpid+','+apid
       print 'complete url: '+file
       xbmc.player().play(file)


show_channellist()
stream_dbox2()

just change to your ip and start the script,
you can select a channel and zap to it - afterwards it will
be streamed

[bobrooney_78]

this is a very simple script for the dbox2 with neutrino

great! i think my dbox2 now has to go neutrino...

[pathetic]

i'm now working on recording and timer with epg.
simple stream recording works but you cant watch the recorde file while recording (so no timeshift ) maybe th xbmc lib needs an addition to record a stream

[sternenfeuer]

is it possible to use the dbox2 timer?
select and save a movie in the dbox timerlist, turn xbox on, wait (record), watch the movie later on xbox ...

is there an nfs-server for the xbox (not with linux)?
then it would already be possible ...

[sternenfeuer]

look at this ... http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/pynfs/

any idea if this work on the xbox?

[pathetic]

yes,
it should work. you can poll the dbox timer via webcontrol and check if there is an entry. but it would be easier to set a timer on the xbox in the script. i have simple recording implemented since yesterday, but without timer.
epg is the next step

[sternenfeuer]

sorry ... wrong language :-)
is there an download to test the script?

[pathetic]

i'm currently finetuning the bouquet selection,
maybe in the next few days. streaming works good, recording is only for testing
