Is there one available?
Or any way to play avi files on the dreambox?

you'll have to convert them to .MKV to view them
via media player in dreambox.

the plugin is available but doesn't work
and can screw up your installed image.

think work needs doin on it, but seems to have been dumped for some reason.

avi play just fine in OoZooN
I might be wrong, but I think avi is a wrapper for a multitude of video formats. I read that the Dm8k is not very good at changing resolution, but no real idea.
Here is the data for the avi I just played:-
