I'm running a DM7020 Gemini 4.6 (Enigma 1). When the remote is working on it I can flash it with a Enigma 2 firmware. Which of your boxes one are you streaming from?

I know VLC changed alot on their streaming GUI recently.. don't know if the command line has changed.....

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
if you could help me with VLC that would be fine :) When you start the stream in VLC it should display the arguments when configuring the stream.....If I remember correctly (the 0.8.6 version) the command line arguments can be found at the bottom of the screen in the last step when configuring the stream inside VLC. It should look something like:

":sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=1024,acodec=mpga,ab=192}:standard{mux=ps,dst=,access=http}:sout-transcode-soverlay=0"

As you can see both codecs and bitrate can be altered directly in this stream so it should be possible to make high/medium/low streams for different networks.

I haven´t got a license on Coreplayer. Is it possible to use TCMP or do I have to buy one? :)

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
Yes, exactly that string is important and I will have a look at the one that I have set at home (once I get there...).

I didn't try TCMP but i heard it is quite similar to CorePlayer.
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
hi, checked the string in VLC ant it is:

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=DIV3,vb=2048,scale=0.5,acodec=mp3,ab=64,channels=1}:duplicate{dst=std{access=http,mux=asf,dst=192.168.1.10:1234}}

my server IP is 192.168.1.10 as you can see above,
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Thank you, I'll give it a try when I receive my CorePlayer serial....

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Nice...I guess one could alternatively write a small application (running as a service on the PC where VLC is installed) which would listen for incoming calls on a predefined port. Then this application could launch the necessary commands to VLC. Just a thought.
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
Certainly a good idea. I already use Girder from Promixis to do some other home automation tasks, this could also send commands to VLC. The downside is that Girder is not free...

WMDreamRemote - beta-version 0.1

As promised in an earlier post in this thread, here is a very simple and cruel remote-control for the Dreambox or for any other Enigma/Enigma2-based receiver such as my IPBox350.

I have not implemented any fancy GUI - this is just a rough beta-version which I wrote quickly this afternoon. A nice GUI might be done later along with other features such as zapping, reading bouquets, timer-recording and so on.

I have tested it on my IPBox350 (Enigma) and it works. However, I have no idea if it works on an Enigma2-based receiver since I cannot test it. I believe I found the right commands but I need someone to verify if the remote-control works with Enigma2.

Just unzip the two files and copy them into a directory of your choice on your device - the only important thing is that both files must be in the same directory. The application might take some time to launch the first time it is being executed - that is normal since it reads the settings-file and the IP-address of your Dreambox is probably different from mine. Once opened, choose settings and fill in your information and save.

Please try it and let me know if it works for you.

Requirements:

-Net Compact Framework 3.5 (if requested I believe I can compile one for 2.0 as well)

-an Enigma-based receiver

EDIT: beta-version removed. See following post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5671683&postcount=62

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
will test it once I am home :)
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
tried application on HTC HD2 running stock WM 6.5 (Norwegian version). First tried with Enigma1 device DM7000. Changed settings, saved, and had some fun controlling Dreambox.

Changed settings to Enigma2 device DM800. After clicking Save, get message "Not connected! Check connection or WebIf's IPAddress." I clicked ok, but then tried some buttons. And they work...

So the only fix that is needed, is to take away the message :)

By the way, do you have plans to have list of bouguetes and channels transferred to WM device, so that one could have drop down lists to select directly on the device? Something similar to WebIf ?
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Nice work!

Here are some screenshots of my application I wrote some months ago. I've extended it today with a "Watch" menuitem that actually works!

The "Watch" menu item zaps to the selected channel, connects to my server by a TCP connection which is handeled by my application. The server application gets the current stream form the Dreambox and start VLC to transcode it into a mobile friendly stream. If the nobile stream is started the client will launch CorePlayer with the server IP and port and the stream should start to play in a couple of seconds.

I'll record a video when my wife is done watching the TV for tonight :)

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Thanks for testing. I am glad it worked. It was just a rough application quickly written this afternoon. Therefore, I am not surprised I forgot some "baddies" in the code such as your problem with Enigma2.

I meant to.....but seeing Øystein's wonderful application which is really complete, I doubt I'll go ahead. I think we are better off awaiting his application and maybe help him to make it truly outstanding with other features (I have a few ideas such as handling the cams perhaps through telnet). There is no need for two competing applications! What do you say Øystein? Are you planning to make it public?

However, if you want a quick fix for the error message, I can do that for you tomorrow and you will have something to play with until Øystein is ready.
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Looks super! I look forward to trying it out.
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Here is my video showing the Bouquets, list of channels and streaming :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMFtc9hesX4

tilleke: I strongly recommend you to keep up the good work. My application is far from perfect and I probably need to rewrite alot on the remote before it is ready to be released.

The streaming part was solved today and has no error handling at all. If the server gets an exception the application shuts down and you have to start it manually again. So this is a preview only :)

Best regards

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Wow - that was amazing:) !

Great programming my friend putting the pieces together. If that was on the iPhone you could surely make a commercial application out of it. Of course, you could do that with Windows Mobile as well using Marketplace and so on but I guess there are more Dreambox-users with iPhones than WM-devices.

I might - just for fun. I'll decide later on.
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Thank you!

I´ve actually published applications on both the AppStore and on the MarketPlace :) So I know it is possible to make money.

But the main problem about selling a dreambox remote control is that a lot of the dreambox users run a it to get free or cheaper tv-signals by cardsharing. I doubt that the the same user would to pay for an application....? He would probably wait for someone to crack it and download a "free" version instead.

I´ve heard that the creator of iDreamRemote (http://itunes.com/apps/idreamremote) for iPhone stopped the development because the application was pirated and his server had 10 times as many unique devices as copies sold....

As I wrote there is a lot remaining before this is an application that can be released... "It works on my device" isn´t good enough if you sell it :)

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
this is great m8, you nailed it :) !!! If you can program expiry date into it (for your safety), you could share it with testers :) I have two dreambox devices with different Enigmas ant two different HTC models to test with, so I am a good candidate :)
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
What is happening next in this exciting project?
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Haven´t had time to develop it any further this week.... I´ll try to work on it this weekend.

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] citychannel:
Wooohoo!

This works great with the Dreambox 7200 and a HTC TD2. Now i can control my dreambox downstairs when i am using my TV upstairs! :) Much much thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
I am glad it works for you. I might be posting a new version later this weekend.
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
Hope you will get back to this project ;)
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
So do I :)

Currently I´m spending some time investigating integration between my Windows Media Center and my two Dreamboxes. I have to say that it looks VERY nice! The graphical user interface is way better then the ones I´ve seen on Dreambox. And the best thing is that Videos/Music/Pictures/Recordings/TV with EPG/Streaming TV (Nrk/TV2) is integrated in the same graphical interface making all the "advanced" (for my wife) features extremely easy to use :)

I hope I´ll have a version ready for testing for a few lucky users during the olympics in Vancouver. Can´t miss the six gold medals that Northug is talking about? :)

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Who's Northug? Another Norwegian skater?
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Nothug is a cross country skier from Norway.

This is why it´s so damn funny to watch him, look how he accelerate around 0:40....

[General Questions and Answers] herpez:
But you streamed directly from dreambox to mobile or did u used VLC on a "slave" PC to convert the streaming from Dreambox to the mobile?
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
I dit NOT stream directly from the dreambox. The stream goes through my Windows 2003 server which transcode it to a mobile friendly stream with VLC.

Øystein
[General Questions and Answers] dat4u:
I just downloaded the cab I will give it a try and you can try "Dreamote" on iPhone to compare with

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Hi,

I don't have an iPhone - that's why I'm writing a similar application for Windows Mobile. :)

I should have another beta up in a few days with a more fancy GUI and with bouquettes (favourites), channel-lists, EPG and timer-events to start with.

Tilleke
[General Questions and Answers] t0flus:
Tilleke: Keep up the good work. I´m way to overloaded with work to do a complete application. If I get the streaming part running maybe we could team up and include my code snippet for starting the stream and launching coreplayer in your application...?
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
both of you, need a tester, give me a call ;)
[General Questions and Answers] herpez:
Just to say that "controls" change with dreambox image.

Good work
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
I'm also overwhelmed with work in this moment but I will try to continue coding whenever I find some free time.

Yes, I like your idea of eventually including the streaming-part. Let's get back to that later on.
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Sorry but I am not entirely sure what you wanted to say.

I am basing the comunication with the Dreambox using "official" commands found in Wikis and by looking through the source-code.

Of course, if a team decides to modify the WebIf in their images, then I can't do anything. I have been testing using Sifteam. Honestly I don't know what image the people who has tested the application so far are using. Could be interesting to know though.
[General Questions and Answers] herpez:
As i use different images in my dreambox, i just wanted to say that it can be a "problem" to some users with other images. However, i FULLY agree that people should code to official dreambox image. Then, it may be added some more images because commands are just slight different. But maybe its too soon to think on that.

Good work!
[General Questions and Answers] dat4u:
I'm running Gemini Project 4.5 on Dm500 Enigma 1 and it work fine I just changed the password to "dreambox" and it works great

the application ends after 20 days from 27 jan

can you please post it with unlimited time so we can use it for ever??

(I don care about GUI)

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] tilleke:
Since it was released as a very basic and simple beta-application in order to get some feedback and to see if the basic commands worked, I decided to release it with a time-limit. I will, most likely, release a new version before the beta expires so you will have a new version to play with. If not, I will replace it with same beta but recompiled and with a time-limit set at a later stage.

Keep looking at this thread for updates.
[General Questions and Answers] ajocius:
I used Gemini image on both DM7000 and DM800 and it worked on both,

New version and new thread for WMDreamRemote

Hi, I released a new beta-version today.

I opened a new thread under the section: Windows Mobile Apps and Games which seemed a more proper section for the application since it has now evolved into something which actually looks like an application compared to the first beta-release previously posted.

The new thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=635682

From above thread you can download the new beta-version.

on my dreambox for some reason the user or password has been changed from default and i cant figure it out.
[HD2 General] EdgarTP:
Hello all,

Firstly, thanks for putting together and supporting such a fantastic resource for the HD2 (xda-developers)

Secondly, with all the debate on the worth of the HD2; I've had mine nearly a week and it's been an absolute joy so far. Only problem has been some audio/picture syncing issued on MP4 video. Best phone I've ever owned.

My main question: I have a Vodafone data plan with a fair usage policy of 500MB. What activities will cause me to chew that up fast. I understand that streaming Youtube is probably a big no no. I also read somewhere that the sattelite images on Google maps will eat a chunk. Whar about stuff like constant GPS positioning, does this sort of thing count? Any info appreciated.

Sam
[HD2 General] weareborg:
1 - any video downloaded or streamed to your device (any)

2 - any audio downloaded or streamed to your device (purchases, internet radio etc)

3 - a somewhat distant third... regular visits to very large websites - not mobile optimized (full load of engadget 10+ times a day for example)
[HD2 General] NeilM:
As said above- large media files streamed or downloaded are the biggest culprits.

All other stuff is small by comparison- Google Maps pages are around 100-300KB so you'd have to go some to use 500MB!

GPS positioning uses negligible data, though keeping GPS on would hammer the battery. Email polling only uses about 4MB per month in addition to the emails themselves. Graphics heavy web pages might use a bit, but even then you are unlikely to exceed your limit.

I don't use mine for any streaming or media downloads but do use it heavily for a lot of other online stuff and I've never used more than 100MB per month.
[HD2 General] paulking:
why dont you just get unlimited data? its only £5 a month.
[HD2 General] NeilM:
He's on Vodafone. Even their so-called Unlimited data is capped at 500MB
[HD2 General] d3l1:
I have 200MB a month until my speed is capped but I never managed to reach 200MB (ok I don't use youtube or other streaming via my data-plan) but with normal usage (surfing, mails, rss, weather, quickgps) my plan is enough.
[HD2 General] EdgarTP:
Thanks for the advice. Looks like, as long as I don't stream or download, I shouldn't have any trouble.

Slightly derailing the thread, but how do I turn off the GPS?
[HD2 General] pat12:
Actually, from what I've observed so far, you don't have to turn off the GPS. It goes to sleep by itself when you don't use it and wakes up when you need it (launch a program that requires it) that's when it will make a data connection and as said before the data exchanged with the server is very limmited (less than 1kb)
[HD2 General] paulking:
so its being mis-sold then? hmm
[HD2 General] HarrisAIU:
It's in the small print.

I kicked up a bit of a fuss when I spoke to Vodafone about their Limited/unlimited data plan. They said you can go over, but don't do it on a regular basis.

You'll get a few 'yellow cards' first.

You can YouTube some stuff, but don't make it habitual.
[HD2 General] beyondthought:
I'm on Vodafone Ultd internet, i use youtube and BBC iplayer a fair bit. no problems so far.. Had it month and a half.
[HD2 General] stefanclark:
im on vodafone business, im on 500MB capped, (although they didn't re-apply it properly when i upgraded my phone so ive been charged £380 on my last bill!! Ill be claiming that back) Its a bit of a rip off., £7.50/mnth for 500MB (extra charged at 60p/MB!!) or £20 for 5GB
[HD2 General] chilly phil:
I Just changed to Tmobile who have a 1gb max on the unlimited. I stuck to my guns saying that I made heavy use of you tube etc, they upgraded it to 3gb maximimum with no extra charge.

Unusually helpful for a mobile company, must have got them on a good day.

BTW it is on one of their new 30 day contracts and I was arranging three of them for me and two friends. The extra 2gb was only offered on one of the phones (mine of course!!!)

Hi foks. I just installed TOMTOM navigator 7.915.9196 For PDA's on my HD2.

I have really tried putting the tree voice files (vif. - chk. - bmp.) everywhere but nothing works.

any suggestions ?

point camera at color,

push button,

phone reports color it "sees"

any takers?
[Android Apps and Games] jaswi:
Hell yeah, great when I'm shopping and can't decide if that damn shirt is purple or blue, or red or green
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
this would actually be a lot more complicated than your statement makes it out to be.

unless the photo is of a solid color with no shading or highlights of any kind, the camera will recognize all possible variations in all shades of the one color.

A programmer would have to call every highlight and shade of a single color as "RED"... I/E: Sangria, Burgundy, Rose, Crimson, etc would all need to just be "RED"...
[Android Apps and Games] just2good4u3434:
But I'm colorblind! How am I supposed to tell if the traffic light is green or red if I don't have this app!!
[Android Apps and Games] Brainze:
Green is always at the bottom... :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] mtiberio:
Well, yes it is complicated, but narrowing the area of concern (like our own eyes' center of visual acuity) down to the central few hundred pixels of the photo, and then applying a histogram to the colors, it should be fairly obvious what is the dominant color. you could get exotic and report fancy color names (periwinkle). Even neater, interface this to voice, so the phone says "red", etc...
[Android Apps and Games] pwabbit:
Could you imagine using an app like that to decide wether to stop or not. "Oh the light changed, where is my android? Hey why is that car pulling out in front of me? Will this dang program ever load? (after 5 nano seconds)" Nope, don't think this type of smartphone app would be effective. Plus for driving, the positional reference would be better (thanks to earlier poster).
[Android Apps and Games] SmokeyJBluntz:
i had seen an app on the market that claimed to tell you the main color the camera picks up... ill search tonight see if i can find it again
[Android Apps and Games] SmokeyJBluntz:
ok by searching camera color i have found a few

Color Detector uk 1.19

What Color? us $0.99

Color Blind? us $1.99

Retina euro 1.00

the one i had found before was a free app, guessing it was one listed above in beta stages. hope this helps you
[Android Apps and Games] dioshy:
I found "This Color What color? Free".

This app gives you the HEX code of the color that the camera has on the center of the screen. Maybe someone can build us an app to translate that hex into an audible color name. :-)

Edit: Go to AppBrain and search for "camera color". You'll fine at least 5 good apps that you can try. I will be testing them tomorrow!!!
