Dreambox ReStream 2.0

Dreambox ReStream 1.4.1



Just after release of version 1.4 I and others noticed some bugs.
These should be fixed now.

A problem was that the XAJAX framework debugging was running.
And that can be quit annoying.
A transcoding problem, which made it impossible to stream. Except H.264.
Which is not correct ofcourse.

And a new feature is that the Wowza server can now be another server
than the webserver.

Here you can download the PHP code for the server part. This code is
based on PHP5 and object oriented. So you need at lease PHP 5 installed
on your webserver. Got reports of working systems on both Windows and
Linux. Get your version right now (06-07-2008)

Changelog:

A complete new rewritten version of Dreambox ReStream is available. It is still an alpha version, but it should be pretty stable.This version has a different code base, and has a different look. This version also supports streaming of your movies on disk like it were Dreambox recordings.The iPhone support is still a bit buggy, but you should get a nice page when you use your iPhone / Blackberry on ReStream 2.0

Changelog:

09-12-2010 (v 2.0 alpha):
It took some time to make a new version of ReStream. It is stil in alpha version, but pretty stable doh. So you can download it right now.
There is an install.html file to help you install the software. Open that file in your browser, fill in all the questions and it should provide a nice manual for installing. There could be some issues on a Windows server.

History to first release:

Some new features are:
Finally, here it is after a year of nu updates. Dreambox Restream 1.4.3!!!

Some new features are:
* Added authorization, so you can put Dreambox Restream in 'private' modus. So you can watch a movie without being interupted by other viewers.
* Added a tooltip on the program guide. So hover over the program title to get a small summary from that program.
* Added the latest Longtail video player ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) (5.2)

This version took so long time because I was bussy with work and social live. So I had not much spare time to work in this software. And also I was waiting for the final Wowza Media Server 2 version. It is now needed for Dreambox Restream. The good thing it is free for personal use.

Here are the instructions

Setting it all up

Now we got all parts, we can set it up.

Server part:
Install VLC according the installation instructions. On a Debian based system you can use apt-get install vlc. It will everything what is needed to run VLC. On a windows system you should be double clicking the file and follow the instructions. Just remember where you installed it or that you are able to find the VLC executable file.

Also you need to install Wowza Media Server ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]).
This is a free (personal use) flash (and more) streaming server. Download
Download ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]) the software and ask for a free 10 connections license ([Only Registered Users Can See Links]).
Unfortunally you cannot use it for iPhone streaming. That is limited in the free version.

The xajax framework is now included in the Dreambox Restream software package.

Unzip the DreamboxRestream software somewhere in your webroot where you are able to reach with you web client.
After unzipping you have to set some settings in the file Settings.class.php. All settings are documentated in the settings file.

Finally copy the files in the folder wowza to your Wowza media installation. Change the url in the file aliasmap.dreambox.play.txt. This has to be the same value as the variable '$vlcWanIP'. After that, restart your wowza server.


Thx TheYOSH
