Read the steps below. For it work successfully for me, I had to downgrade my gemini to version 3.4.0 Var max and it worked flawlessly.

DreamStreamer v1.54



DreamStreamer is an application used to show and record streams from the Dreambox.
I did this program to be able to do good recordings from my DM500.
It is tested with DM500/DM7000/DM7200 on XP and Vista.
It is based on VLC activeX control.

Installation
1. Install VLC. (Version >= 0.8.6b)
Download VLC from this site: Install VLC according to standard-settings
for path and others (default).

2. DM 500 issues.
To get a good streaming from DM 500 you must do this:

Use Gemini 3.4 MAX VAR (don't use any other).
Check "Use modified driver" in the setup dialog. (snakehand modified driver)
Set Delay stream start >= 6000 in the setup dialog.

3. Install DreamStreamer.
Install DreamStreamer by running DreamStreamer Setup.exe

4. Start DreamStreamer.
The first time you start the program a pop-up prompting you for the IP-address,
user name and password to the dreambox.
Check use modified driver if you are connecting to a DM500. You also have to fill
in the path where you want to store recorded program. (Mount directory)

5. Enjoy!
