i know it's possibel to stream from a dreambox to a PC but is it possible to stream from a dreambox 500c to a modded xbox?

Yes, install the latest version of XBMC first.

Then go to Video and add source, choose tuxbox and fill in the ip addy, port (usually 80), username and password and robert's your father's brother.

I use a 500T myself, but should be the same process

wonderful news

do you need to install a specific plugin for the dreambox?

Also what's the streaming quality like? does it break up, pause etc?

Its awesome works great with my DM800 plus I've also setup an SMB share to the DM800 so that I can play recorded programmes/movies directly from the hard disk in the DM to XBMC

hmm playback on the DM500c seem's a bit unstable, seems to cut out every few mins

Do you have a wired connection or wireless?

[godsakes]

wired in their case

do clean install of xbmc (but not the latest as its broke, use the t3ch build from 30th dec), then it should be ok.

I have the dm500 wired to the router and the xbox using a wireless adapter and its great - but it took a lot of playing to get it right.

thanks for that, i've installed the dec build and i can get a decent stream now

seems to be fine for the first (and maybe second) channel i try but if i flip through to a 3rd or more - i get tend to have the stream fail on me (seems to get better after i restart the dreambox) is this typical for you?

also is there anyway to get a EPG for the channels lists on XBMC?

streaming from dm500x is just a bit poo i think all round, mine does need a reboot every few days to get it working, but not after a certain number of channel presses, maybe depends on the image your using?

and nope on the epg, though their prob is a script you could refer to then change the channel in the tuxbox interface.

[godsakes]

which image do you use?

standard enigma, not sure of tghe version, mine's only a t, so no need for smarter images
