    Default Newbie question

    I have got a used Dreambox 500 S which I got for free and now I am wondering if it is possible to play some .avi files I have on my NAS using this DB
    What software should be installed on the DB and how to configure it?

    Links for a guide for dummies would be OK

    Don't know if it is what you want...but it's a starters guide to the Dreambox.

    I don't know if it was just luck or what but after I activated the NFS service on my NAS I got access to the folder from my DB 500
    But now I have to figure out which files can be played on the box.
    The test .avi file I put there isn't shown om the list so I guess that is no valid format

    You'll need to look at streaming them to your DM500 using VLC.
