big mick01 · 03-12-2009, 05:00 PM

hi guys ive had a good look around the tuts and stickys .....
but i cant find any tuts on streaming from my pc to dbox..
im using vista home premium on my lappy..
and my dbox is connected to my router permanently..
i had a look around the net but all the tuts seem to be years old and only apply to windows xp pro..
is there a tut on using the built in movieplayer in com 11.3..settings. ect...
there are loads of tuts about streaming from dbox to pc .but almost no uptodate tuts for doing it the other way....

any help on this appreciated

cheers

You'll need VLC and read pt-1's guide: http://pt-1.net/

in vista turn off the "use sharing wizard"

open an windows explorer > select "tools" > select "view" > scroll down > untick it > click apply and close

now you can share your folder using the proper sharing options

Do you want to stream a video from your PC to your Dbox? You don't need to share anything, just use VLC, it works on XP and 7 (which should be the closest to vista!) with no problems whatsoever on my end

! From pt-1's guide: Recording/Streaming/3rdParty->MoviePlayer via VLC

ok guys got it working

..

its a problem with vlc..
no matter what i do ..ie change the shortcut in vlc or use the cmd option i cant get vlc to start as a start up service?..

the only way i could get it working is to start vlc by double clicking it then minimise it so its running all the time...

i can now watch all my films from my 500gig external hard-drive wirelessly over the network...cool

thanks for the help lads

Maybe try this: Streaming via VLC and windows 7
Working for me on Windows 7, maybe the same can be applied to vista? It's not as neat as if it was a service but better than doing it manually and minimising it!

that way doesnt work in vista m8 ..
but a bit of searching and i found out how to get it going in vista..

thanks for the tip m8
