Problems streaming from VU to PC

[Tropheus]

I have been trying to stream TV from the VU to my PC I have the latest version of VLC installed - "1.1.11 The luggage" and my network connection is working fine.

I run Webif from FF click the TV to send the "stream.m3u" file to VLC and get the following error message:

>>Your input can't be opened:
>>VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://192.168.1.12:8001/1:0:1:189E:7FD:2:11A0000:0:0:0::102 - BBC Two'. Check the log for details.

Looks like the wrong port is listed 8001 not 8088?

Also is there a way to directly link a tuner from the VU to VLC as a playlist?

I just use dreambox control center. open it up, click on the webif then when the duo screen comes up just click on streaming

Were do I get dreambox control center from?

8001 is the correct port for streaming.That's the error you get if there is no free tuner. Do you have a free tuner at the time you are trying to stream? How are the tuners configured?

[Tropheus]

Yes theres a tuner free, they are both setup as single tuners A/B with dual cable going to each.

Is there a way to select a tuner in the string?

[Stanman]

press menu>plugin>change port to 00080 and ensure authentication is disabled.

I changed the port to 00080 but all it has done is change the port for webif

>>>VLC is unable to open the MRL 'http://192.168.1.12:8001/1:0:19:2710:801:2:11A0000:0:0:0::103 - ITV1 HD'. Check the log for details.

I dont think that I would need to open the port on the router as it is not outside my home network, is this correct?

[punisher]

Forward the port in ur router. Make sure your firewall isnt blocking access either

[Tropheus]

Ok I have forwarded port 8001 to the PC that I want to stream to and turned off the firewall on that PC. still no joy

Well guys I could not get this to work at all....

I finally decided to uninstall VLC and install the new version 2.0.0.0

Works fine now......
