    Default DM7020 Hard Drive -Playing Videos off it

    Hey Guys,

    Just recently got a DM7020 and installed a HDD just wondering if it is possible to send movies off your computer to the hdd of the Dreambox and play them?
    (I dont want to stream the media).
    Will i need to install an add-on?

    Cheers

    You sure can if you convert them to mp2 movies and simply ftp them over, but they will not appear in the movie listing, rather you have to do a manual selection.

    I thought there was a vlc method of playing the movies on your dreambox??

    And you shouldnt need to ftp, I use samba to access my DM7020 HDD and use it as a normal networked drive.

    Yes it is called MoviePlayer and it is built into the PLi Jade software, and works very well on the 7020
