Dreambox to PS3 Streamer v. 1.0.0

[emav]

Check it out:

1. Download the zipped file _http://www.iota.gr/dreambox2ps3/ps3.zip
2. Unzip it on your hard disk.
3. Use ftp to upload ps3.html into /usr/share/tuxbox/enigma/htdocs on your dreambox.
4. Turn on your PS3 and head to Network > Internet Browser
5. Enter your dreambox ip, e.g. http://192.168.1.2
6. Enter your username and password.
7. Enter your dreambox ip+ps3.html, e.g. http://192.168.1.2/ps3.html
8. Click on your favourite folder.
9. Click on your favourite channel.
10. Show a little patience and you'll enjoy a stream of your favourite channel through PS3.
11. Every time you need to stream from dreambox to PS3, you need to first visit dreambox's main ip (e.g. 192.168.1.2) to enter your username and password and then move on to ps3.html

This solution has been tested on the latest PS3 and PLi for dreambox 7020. Please, post your positive or negative feedback.

Enjoy!

Hi EMAV,

I tried your script (using Gemini Project 4.7 Image + Little Apache WebServer) ... whenever I call it - either from PC or PS3 - I get only the screen with the following information:

It seems that you need to turn javascript on. Use...

Options (Δ) > Tools > Javascript > On

...to do so. Let me know if this resolves the problem.

PS: Here's a few pictures of PS3's interaction with my Dreambox.

@rgeissen - I'm guessing you need to modify the html of the Streamer file. I found the original poster had hard coded his IP within it, so you need to edit that and pop your dreamboxes IP in there.

However - before you go to that effort do you realise you can stream to your PS3 without this Dreambox to PS3 Streamer v. 1.0.0 file? All the file allows you to do is change channels from within the PS3 browser.

If all you want to do is view the satellite stream's output on your ps3, and you are happy to change the channel via the box itself (or by your phone using the webif - try it!) then all you need to do is open the PS3's web browser and navigate to http://yourdreamboxs.ip:31344.

So when watching the footie I'm able to view it on the 50" plasma downstairs rather than on the bedroom telly that has the dreambox attached. Works a treat.

Oops! Thanks for pointing this out, jasmart. It's already been corrected. I forgot to replace my ip address with location.host when I uploaded the file.

No problem emav. Thanks for the initial upload. Although I'm not using this to change channels (I use the iPhone app) it did save me a lot of grief when looking at the available streaming methods.

Thanks guys, I did change from gemini image to a pli image and now it works as designed Problem now is that I don't have a UPNP server anymore to stream dreambox DM7000 content to my PS3.

I can't find ushare because I don't have the ""PLi Package Management" as an option to install. Any hint on how to install ushare on a DM7000 ?

Can you confirm this works? I can't get this to work on any of my Dreamboxes (800's and 500's)

tried this also but couldnt get it to work either, kept gettin error when typing dreamboxip31344 into webbrowser on ps3, anybody no why its not working?thanks, using dm800s

Hi @wannelly,

It will only work on an image that has PLi zapstream installed!
If you look in your /etc/services file and don't see the line:

zapstream    31344/tcp

or in /etc/inetd.conf and don't see either:

zapstream    stream    tcp    nowait    root    /sbin/zapstream        zapstream -ts

OR

31344    stream    tcp    nowait    root    /sbin/zapstream        zapstream -ts

Then it's not installed and it will not work.

It is only installed by default in PLi images so...if you're not running a PLi image you will have to manually install PLi zapstream or change to a PLi image. I use mostly Gemini images but have manually installed zapstream.

Here is my guide to installing zapstream in a Gemini image in an Enigma 1 box (DM7000S) but it will give you the basic information on what needs to be done:

Hi Fellas, I know this thread has gone cold for a wee while now...but,,,just wanted to get some feedback on pic quality on PS3 before I splash the hard cash on a new dreambox as this seems the perfect multi room tv stream setup.

Many thanks
