Dreambox as a Twonky client?

barf52 · Post by **barf52** » Tue Jul 03, 2007 5:24 pm

Is it possible to use a dreambox satellite receiver, for example a DM500S or DM7025, as a Twonky client?

If yes, which firmware do I need (for the DM500).

Thanx.

How do I activate the UPnP in my Dreambox?

you must use the Gemini 3.50 or 3.60 image, then download and install the plugin for upnp.

In the blue panel menu go to Extras / Settings. Select UPnP and enable the UPnP client.

Thats all.

you can find the files in File Mode: root/mnt/upnp

Hi

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

You really made my day. I 've tried so many things (and surfed so long) before finding your simple answer to my question, how to use my Dreambox 7925 as a UPnP client. I now can access my mp3 files and play them on my stereo.

Please allow two questions:
1. I have organised all my files by Folder: Goup or Composer -> Album -> Tracks: each track is numbered from 1 onwards. Now Twonky reflects this in the Folders. On my Dreambox the tracks are listed ALPHABETICALLY in the folders - the numbers on the trackname are not shown. Any idea how to make that also Dream takes this numbers.

My folder:
01 Let it Be
02 Hey Jude
03 All you need is Love

Dreambox Player:
All you need is Love
Hey Jude
Let it Be

---

2. I have also FLAC files to listen to - but they do not appear on the Dreambox Player - do I miss something?

Thank you very very much for your help -

Andrea

Hello,

ok, I installed now the Gemini 3.50, enabled also the uPnP feature. I knew, there was also a Dreambox Plugin from Twonky, but cannot find it anymore. Does somebody still have the link? I spent the whole morning browsing the Inet !

Thanks

Update:

I installed now Gemini 3.6 and also Twonky Plugin for DM7020.

Now, how do I get now the files to stream on the Screen of the Dreambox?

There must be something, I didn't see yet.

Can somebody help, please?

Hi

Try to find the "mnt" folder - there the "upnp" folder in there you sould find the twonky serverver folder

Yes, I saw it on DDC. But I thought, there could be a Mediaplayer with an Interface, like if you would look at the screen on my NOXON Player.

Is there nothing like that?

I hope I understand you right: Then try this:

Go to MENU - choose MediaPlayer

there go to the second folder (not the HDD) - click - then choose mnt - then upnp - and then you find your twonky folder - and can play the songs with that.

If you wish something more elaborated as client, continue to wrtie to the developers of Gemini to PLEASE do something about it

Ciao
