The software was tested successfully on DM800HD WebIF 1.6.2-1.6.8, OpenPLI 2.1 and DM500S images (Pli Jade3).
DreamboxPlayer v2.1 now supports a wider variety of devices due to the XML parsing improvements added.
We are happy to add or provide support for more devices requested in the future as long as they run the WebIf API.
Current features of the software include:
1. Bouquet selection / Provider / All Services
2. Predefined Audio Languages
3. Automatic Translation of EPG to the language of your selection (limited by Google)
4. All the features you would expect from a decent media player - FullScreen, Aspect Ratio, Volume etc.
5. Full service icon support (includes over 10,000 provider and channel images)
6. Automatic re-connection to box if connection is lost
7. Local Recording capability in MP4 format (All audio languages recorded)
8. Box Control commands: Restart GUI, Reboot, Standby, WakeUp
9. Ability to re-stream the currently playing video externally to other devices within your home.
This was tested on Android 6.01 using MX Player and should work on most network capable media players.
Previously Enigma 1 devices could stream only to 1 or 2 devices.
You can stream the video to as many home devices as your PC can handle (CPU + Network).
See "Streaming Status" tab within the application for more details. The tab displays all available streams for 3rd party devices.
