How To Stream TV To iPhone & iPad & PC & Others...

[punisher]

As the title says, in this tutorial ill show you how to stream TV from your box to your mobile device in your home network and outside your home network. At home this should stream pretty well without any issues but away from home you will need a high upload speed and setup a dyndns account so you can access the box remotely.

Now as i only have an iPhone and iPad as well as a Laptop, I can't show you how to do it on Android but im pretty sure following the same steps should work the same too.

The app i use is Dreambox Live which is available via the app store, i purchased it on iPhone and managed to get it free on iPad

First thing first you need to know/setup your HTTP Port which you can find in the OpenWebIf Plugin

Menu/Plugins/OpenWebIf

Make sure "OpenWebInterface is set to "Yes"

Now you can see my HTTP Port is 01985. Default value is 00080 but i changed mine and you can too if you want

You then need to go into your routers Default Gateway Page and in my case the Virtual Servers Option on the left hand side menu, because you will need to forward the ports that will enable you to stream externally from your network. For this you need your box's IP Address and the Ports that need forwarding.

The IP Address of my box is 192.168.2.x
The Ports I am going to forward are;
HTTP Port: 1985
Streaming Port: 8001 (Default)

Assign these like the screenie below

The other ports i have forwarded (21 and 23) are FTP Port and Telnet port so i can get into the box remotely too

Once you have assigned the ports to your box's IP address and router is back on and working you then need to setup a dynds account if you want to stream outside of your home network.
To do this follow my tutorial on Setting up Inadyn & Dyndns Account

Now you can either use your box's IP address if you just want to use it at home which in my case if 192.168.2.x or my Dyndns account which is xxxxxxx.dyndns.org (from my tutorial above)

Download and Install the Dreambox Live App onto your iPad or iPhone

Open it and it should take you to the Basic Setup Wizard like below

Now Fill in the page with your details that you have from above. Mine is below

I have set this up so i can stream outside my house so i have used my dyndns account, otherwise type in the IP address to your box 192.168.2.x
Leave all the other settings the same only putting in your http port and username and password.

Once you have saved and connected click on the TV Icon in top left to bring up your Bouquet List

Then pick your category

Then pick the channel you want to view, im going to view BBC 1

And thats it, you have successfully setup streaming.
Remember to stream outside your house this way you need a fairly high upload speed, mine is roughly 5-6mb and mine streams really good with the odd glitch but i aint got no complaints.
