Play2Dream - Stream Movies from your PC to Dreambox

**Stripplng01** · 20th January, 2010, 06:47 PM

I'm going crazy trying to get a copy of this utility that doesn't have a virus.

I found this link and now find I can't download the program until I post something..... I wounder if ths count towards that!

On the other hand would it be possible for you to PM me the application?

If you don't ask you won't get.

Regards,

PS. Good work - even a newbie like me can follow the instructions.

I did managed to get this utility working and it is by far better and easier to use than any of the other streaming applications - cheers for that.
I do have just two minor issues that the forum might be able to help with:
1. The list of files on my PC that are displayed on the TV are all truncated to just 4 characters - can this be resolved?
2. Without an instruction guide guessing at the controls on my DM7020 often results in the whole Dreambox freezing and having to be rebooted.

Even if these cannot be resolved it is still the option I have found todate.

Sounds like an awesome software only thing Id have a winge about is that these sat boxes dont usualy play mkvs correctly, your perhaps still better off buying a cyclone mkv player for 25-35 quid which does everything under the sun.
