1080p + DTS perfect - from files area

[happyhammer]

sorry, cant post in the files section.

Does this mean that mounting the shared drives/folders in NFS removes the LAN speed limitation and thereby you are getting perfect playback?

[rocktheroad]

since I have problem with local HD movies on internal HDD I don't think it will be solved with NFS

[goran]

As you've seen, it didn't work for me, with my setup, sadly...

[FME_fta]

I'm using HaneWIN to create a NFS server with "Maximum NFS transfer size (bytes)" to "65535" .
It works great on my WinXP.

I just had to open the ports in winXP firewall:
111 (UDP e TCP) --> Don't know if this port is a must have
1035 (UDP) --> Don't know if this port is a must have
1058 (UDP e TCP)
2049 (UDP e TCP)

In azbox the mount command is something like this:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/c/azbox_saves /DATA/usb1/sda1 -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0

It is way more fast that CIFS, I can also record now to "c:\azbox_saves" without problems, even in HD channel (although it might have some errors from time to time), but I have to do more test to confirm this.

Regards!

Hi all,

i tried it from my Mac and it works absolutely perfect.
I even took out the hard disk from my Premium since there is no need anymore.
I tried 1080 and 720 both working excellent.
That was a great post and kudos to hmlfs!!!!

I don't know what is happening from windows since i only use Linux and Mac.

[leerock]

I have it working with hanewin on a win7 64x and i must say it works better than ever...
Great performance and media player semms more stable now....

Have anyone tried the Avatar 1080p trailer?

Great quality, plays fine , but hickups are starting at exactly the same point everytime,
till the end.
the last 20 secs.

[happyhammer]

i cant get it working either, tried all morning. tried installing hanenfs on my xp pro pc but dunno if its working right.


my existing working shared mapping, using cifs is this:

mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/dreambox /DATA/movie -o guest
mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/dreambox /DATA/usb1/sda1 -o guest

tried several varaitions of the following commands :

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/d/dreambox /DATA/movie -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/d/dreambox /DATA/usb1/sda1 -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0




gets error message such as this :

MMP[~]$ mount -t nfs 192.168.1.1:/d/dreambox /DATA/movie -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0
unknown nfs mount option: in
mount: nfsmount failed: No such file or directory
mount: Mounting 192.168.1.1:/d/dreambox on /DATA/movie failed: Invalid argument
MMP[~]$

[goran]

XP - no need.

Btw, Windows has various protocols for that, too.

But since it stared at some point and it changed since - it's the FW issue...

[FME_fta]

For me the UNIX services for windows didn't work fine, a could mount the shared folder, but I couldn't see any file in that shared folder.

HaneWIN works fine after I opened those ports, and if you search for serial in the net you will find one (don't download any file because it can be a virus)

@happyhammer, is "intr 0 0" and not "in tr 0 0", but this can be this forum that puts a space in long words.

To mount in /DATA/usb1/sda1 (to simulate a USB drive) you need to have a real USB device detected as USB1.
If it still don't work, try to open those ports in the firewall of the PC.

My export file in HaneWIN is something like this:
(if you do any change in this file you have to restart the server)

c:\azbox_saves -public 192.168.1.100
d:\ -public -readonly 192.168.1.100 --> The drive D: is being shared, this is where I have emule running

Only what is in bold is in the export file.
EDIT: The folders to be shared have to exist, HaneWIN will not create them.
With the IP in front of the line, only that IP (azbox) can access that shared folder

In azbox the commands are:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/c/azbox_saves /DATA/usb1/sda1 -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0

Or using TCP (more heavy, but can be more reliable)
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/c/azbox_saves /DATA/usb1/sda1 -o nolock,tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=3276 8,intr 0 0

And to mount that D: drive:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/d /DATA/download -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0

PS: looks like this forum puts a space in a long words, as you can see in "intr" that looks like "in tr", or in "32768" but if you do copy&past it doesn't have any space.

Using NFS instead of CIFS won't remove the azbox limitation, but can help the LAN speed to a point that you can see most 1080p + DTS movies without mush problems.

Good luck!

[humaxarie]

As you've seen, it didn't work for me, with my setup, sadly...

Hey Goran, why you still use that win7 64....if you have trouble with it... :)

But maybe a suggestion, i dunno if it works on win 7, but let run in the background a virtual machine (vmware ???) with the os what works for you, and the files you need.

As i say, it is an suggestion, and i dunno which win7 it was, but there is 1 with xp compatiblity or this :

h**p://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx

keep us informed

[goran]

'Cause I don't want to redo everything from scratch once again...:toetap05:

Thanx anyway! ;)

[FME_fta]

Looks like the problem with win7 and HaneWIN is the firewall, with the firewall deactivated (the public folders too) it will work.

Without deactivating the firewall, it will also work if its possible to open the ports in Win7 firewall.

Thanks to UltraB for this info.
I don't have win7 so I don't know the details in how to do it.

Regards!

[goran]

I doubt it, very much, as I tried with KIS completely deactivated.

Besides, I have it all the same - the only difference: 32 and 64b.

So, I don' think so. Something else must be the case.

Moreover, it used to work on the same machine.

What changed? A few FWs tested...

[FME_fta]

I tested HaneWIN again and there is no need to open the ports in the firewall.
Instead just give permissions in the firewall to the executables:
nfsd.exe
pmapd.exe

This executables are inside the nfsd folder (this is where HaneWIN is installed)
Something like this:
C:\Program files\nfsd

In Vista/7 can be different but with the ports opened in the firewall or with permissions in those 2 executables it really have to work.

There are reports that HaneWIN works fine in Win 7 with the ports oppened in the firewall, with the permissions it will probably work the same way.

Regards!

[dutchmatrix]

Not working at my end.

Using Hanewin on Win7 (32) firewall turned off

The strange thing is that if a mount with rsize=8192 it plays but with stuttering, so no good.

But with a higher rsize 32768 or even 16384 the box wont play at all it only shows a black screen with a white square in the upper left corner and the box looks as if it is hanging.

Also played with the ,udp and ,tcp options no difference

Anybody got any ideas what to try?

Tia

[FME_fta]

(...)

From what UltraB said you also have to disable the public folder firewall for HaneWIN to work (don't ask me how to do it).

But there is no need to disable the firewall, you just have to give permissions to those 2 executables or open the ports in firewall.

And HaneWIN does support 32KB in read and in write blocks.

EDIT: I don't know if you always have to disable the public folder firewall for HaneWIN to work in win7 or do some other tricks.

Good luck!

[goran]

Hmmm... See, I don't want the public folder shared. That's easy but not what I want.

I want my other partition with Audio-Visual stuff and just some folders on it shared.

And it all works with Windows 7 [whatever it has] 32b but not with 64b.

Nothing else is different!

Even in Ubuntu [mounting that partition] it doesn't work, as AZ can't see inside those folders - no content!

Weird!:smash:

Weird!:smash:

That happens using CIFS, right?
But even if CIFS worked you would still be limited to movies up to 720p with azbox.

Using NFS you can see most 1080p + DTS movies and with HaneWIN you can restrict only one IP (azbox) to access the shared folders or a range os IPs.
So it will be more secure.

The problem will be to make HaneWIN work without problems, because someone told me that he open the ports in Win7 firewall and HaneWIN still didn't work.
Only you guys with Win7 can do the tests and see what else is needed for HaneWIN to work with Win7.

Regards!

[goran]

Thanx, m8!

I do not have Win Firewall - killed! KIS 2010 instead...

OKI, I'll have a look at this proggy... I need to find an SN first, of course... ;)

[FME_fta]

HaneWIN will work for 30 days without registration.
(the serial is easy to find)

Some other guy told that for him with Win7 he just gave permissions (inbound and outbound) to nfsd.exe
& pmapd.exe and it just worked, he didn't disable the firewall for public folders.

Good luck with that goran, because if it works you will have the shared folders problem resolved.

[dutchmatrix]

tried it all no luck.

If i set max in Hanewin nfs server to 16384 or more the azbox completly locks when starting a movie , no matter which movie.

So i have to leave Hanwin at 8192 but in that case my movies picture is mostly fluent but the DTS track has bad stutters.

Tried this with 4001 and the latest firmware.

Im gonna try pronfs later today or later this week

[FME_fta]

In hanewin use in MAX 65535 and all the options like in this pic:
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4779/hanewin.png

Then restart the NFS server in the Exports tab.
After that in azbox it works great with 32768.

[goran]

But how do you get to that menu?

I created a server - activated the service - then, told the SW to allow in the AZbox HD client via MAC [and IP] address and still nada...:001_07:

[goran]

Has anyone connected via FTP Client - ever???

Added an IP address, gave the details to login - nada...

Or in File Manager...

Why isn't this explained - by Celrun/OS - someone/anybloodyone?!?

FTP "Not connect" -> error... Grrrrrrrr..........

And I mean in detail - can anyone connect to those and how exactly, please?

Syntax etc.?

Thanx!

[FME_fta]

That menu is the HaneWIN NSF Server menu.
If you installed HaneWIN you can access it through the (ugly) shortcut "NFS Server" in the desktop.

[goran]

You'd have thought I could surmise that much, yes?

However, can you tell me what exactly have you done, once you double click on the icon on your desktop, please?

So all of us can duplicate your procedure... ;)

Ta!:respect-051:

[FME_fta]

This is step by step in how to share some folders in a PC for azbox (or other linux receiver) using NFS protocol and HaneWIN:

1 - Install HaneWIN NFS Server :D
(google for it, you can also google for a serial)

2 - Give full permissions (inbound and outbound) in the firewall to HaneWIN main executables ("nfsd.exe" and "pmapd.exe") which are where HaneWIN was installed.
(ex: C:\Program Files\nfsd)

3 - Make sure "nfsd.exe" and "pmapd.exe" are running, see them in task manager or in the windows services
The services are:
- NFS Server (nfsd.exe)
- SunRPC Portmap Daemon (pmapd.exe)

4 - Double click in the "NFS Server" shortcut in desktop.

5 - Put the same things as you see in this pic:
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/4779/hanewin.png

6 - Go to the "Exports" tab and click in "Edit exports file"
- This file is where you configure what you want to share.
- Comment with # each line so you can put your ones
- Each line is a path/folder to share
- Each line have to start with the path to the folder to share and after that the options.

Options (all are optional):
-readonly (no permissions to write)
-public (it is needed for azbox to access)
IP (only this IP will access the share)
-range (for a range of IPs to access the folder)

Examples:
c:\azbox_saves -public 192.168.1.100
d:\ -public -readonly 192.168.1.100

In the first line I want to share the folder "c:\azbox_saves", I also want the azbox to write in it, and only azbox with the IP 192.168.1.100 will access to it.
In the second line I'm sharing the drive D:, azbox will be unable to write here, and once again only azbox will access it.

I don't think you can share folders where the path have spaces (ex: c:\azbox saves)

- In the end save this file with the changes and close the editor.

7 - Go back to the HaneWIN window and in the "Exports" tab, click in "Restart Server" for all the changes to take effect.

8 - Now it's time to test the shares in azbox. Run telnet on the PC and access to azbox (make sure telnet is activated in azbox).

- Using the examples above (yours will be different):
The commands will be something like this:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/c/azbox_saves /DATA/usb1/sda1 -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0
(this is a single line command and there is no space in "intr")

192.168.1.110 --> The IP of the PC with HaneWIN

c/azbox_saves --> The path that was shared ("\" --> "/" and ":" will be ignored, so "c:\azbox_saves" will be "c/azbox_saves")

/DATA/usb1/sda1 --> This is where you want the shared folder in the PC to appear in azbox, in this case I want to simulate a USB disc (you also need a real USB stick in azbox for this to work).
Possible paths in azbox to use:
/DATA/movie
/DATA/picture
/DATA/music
/DATA/download

- Make sure the path in azbox are not in use, or else you will only access the shared folder (in PC) and not what it was in the path.

nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0 --> This are the options to use, there are no spaces in here except in "intr 0 0" ("in tr 0 0" is wrong), all other spaces are caused by satpimps (it doesn't like long words).

The command for the other example is:
mount -t nfs 192.168.1.110:/d /DATA/download -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0
(the drive D: will be mounted in "/DATA/download")

If the command will hang and doesn't appear the prompt, this means the azbox is trying to communicate to HaneWIN in the PC, but it can't
(or HaneWIN is not running or it doesn't have permissions in the PC firewall)

If it gives immediately an error it's because it could "talk" with HaneWIN, but or the shared path in the command is wrong, or the path in azbox is already in use.

After all the commands were tested and are ok (you can actually see all the PC folders and files in azbox Media Center), you can put them in a script, and for each time the azbox reboots it will mount all the shared folders for you, no need to use telnet any more.
You can run the script as it was a softcam in OpenXCAS.
Just make sure when you create/edit the script you use an editor that is compatible with unix/linux end of line caracter.

You can use the free editor Crimson Editor in windows to edit and create scripts for linux, but make sure that before you save the script to go --> Do***ent --> File Format and choose "Unix format".

I guess this is all.

[goran]

Silly Billy me!!!! :D What a mistakeah to makeah... :rolleyes: I was playing with DHCP server, FFS!!!!! :D :D :D

I installed the NFS one, did the stuff you described on its side [not on the AZbox HD side yet], however, not showing the icon in the systray, sadly... Not sure what it is, the DHCP was there when active... AZbox HD cannot find anything, as things stand.

Now, I must reboot and see....

Many thanx!!!!!!!!:respect-051:

[Will comeback for more, I'm sure... :D]

[hfmls]

hanewin working really good now with windows 7 x64. :)

just add to give full permission to both .EXE

in and out.
all good now.

[hfmls]

BTW hanewin works as service in windows 7 x64!! :)

after u configure hanewin, press OK, it will close :P but u can still access via NFS, because acts as service.

[goran]

Nope... No go, even after I put 3 folders successfully to NFS server etc.

This is the PuTTy log:


MMP[~]$ mount -t nfs 192.168.1.251:/d/xxxx/my_videos /DATA/movie -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0
mount: Mounting 192.168.1.xxx:/d/xxxx/my_videos on /DATA/movie failed: Stale NFS file handle

MMP[~]$ mount -t nfs 192.168.1.251:/d/xxxx/my_videos /DATA/movie -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0
mount: Mounting 192.168.1.xxx:/d/xxxx/my_videos on /DATA/movie failed: Stale NFS file handle

WTF does that mean?

I tried with and without any firewall protection.

I also tried without the PuTTy mount command.

It sees my laptop, asks for username and password to get into it and then sees NOTHING!!!

Completely baffled...:smash:

Will try to uninstall NFS built-in Windows features, reboot and then try...

I will also try to go back to a previous FW with which it worked - just to test... ;)

Thanx for the effort, guys!!!!!! Appreciated!!!!:respect-051:

[hfmls]

latest firmware here.
windows 7 x64

after i add both .exe to in and out RULES, it worked.

[goran]

You just already wrote that, hfmls... :smash:

If it is addressed to me: note that I stopped the KIS completely, also. ;)

It is not working for other reasons, it seems - that "stale" thing from the log...

Must search... But now to bed... ;)

Btw, does anyone have to put in username/password, even though you allowed sharing without it ["Turn off password protected sharing" chosen]?:smash:

[leerock]

as typeR said,
for better performance...
nfs must operate on udp, and nfs protocol v3
so it may be better to select udp only.....
and version 3 only on that window....

he also said that you must use 0, not -2....
don t know what that is but
i disabled
async write for nfs-2 option

on server tab
allow mount of remote devices must be selected


for me it works great without adding those exe in kaspersky firewall

[dutchmatrix]

Goran maybe a (non) solution for the stale error could be

umount /DATA/movie

and then

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.251:/d/xxxx/my_videos /DATA/movie -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0

[hfmls]

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.6:/d/torrents /DATA/movie -o nolock,async,rsize=32768,wsize=32 768,intr 0 0

this works for me.

after i wright "mount" in telnet

it shows me this:

192.168.1.6:/d/torrents on /DATA/movie type nfs (rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768

[FME_fta]

There is no need to disable stuff in HaneWIN.
Azbox will use by default UDP and v3 protocol.
(just type in telnet "mount" and you will see it)

@goran, I never saw that error before, and forget about seeing the share using the network icon to search the Ethernet.
You can only do it by using commands/script.
HaneWIN won't appear in systray, and HaneWIN main window is just to configure it doesn't matter if its running or not.
PS: Your PC is full of surprises... :D

[hfmls]

yes hanewin main windows is just to set it up. because service is running in background. even with hanewin closed.

[goran]

Goran maybe a (non) solution for the stale error could be

umount /DATA/movie

and then

mount -t nfs 192.168.1.251:/d/xxxx/my_videos /DATA/movie -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0

Once I went into Task Manager I realised it's working in the background. That's why I uninstalled the Windows NFS services from Win components...

Leerock: I did it all, as you suggested. Still nothing...

I really do need to go back in terms of FW and test...

Thanx to all who tried to help! Appreciated!!!:respect-048:

[goran]

Btw, my wife's laptop with Win7 32b - all else is the SAME - is OK...

Mine, with W7 64b - no chance...:svengo:

[FME_fta]

Some time ago I tried to play the movie Ink (720p+AC3) by CiNEFiLE through external DVD reader connected to azbox with USB.
(its a 4.37GB movie with 1h46m)

This movie have moments with huge bitrate like at 21 minutes where Ink takes the girl and there is a lot of noise, the bitrate goes to 24-26Mbits (3-3.3MB/s) for a long time.
Nor USB or NFS can handle this, it will go choppy.

OpenSat/Celrun have a long way to go to improve speed...

[hfmls]

just make it all NFS :D

[FME_fta]

Even NFS can't handle Ink in 720p without problems (as I said).
Because now I also tried Ink with NFS and in those high bitrate moments it goes choppy the same way as USB.

[hfmls]

yes i understand. but maybe they can improve NFS module now?
now that they know this works way wayyy better?

[goran]

Aha - how long have they "been trying"?!?:beatdeadhorse5:

[hfmls]

i dunno.

i bet they don't even knew NFS worked so good in azbox hd!!

bahhh.

now they could at least try to check this out, improve NFS and make a interface, to automount shares? so we can put ip, folder, etc etc without using internet.

[FME_fta]

yes i understand. but maybe they can improve NFS module now?
now that they know this works way wayyy better?

I don't know if NFS can be more improved (maybe using blocks of 64-128KB) because the main problem/limitation can be in LAN RAW bandwidth, using NFS is just a way to be near that RAW limitation.

The maximum speed of the 100Mbits LAN is near 10MB/s, azbox can't even get 3MB/s using NFS.
Although many say it can go up to 4.5MB/s (using FTP).

Hope is the last thing to die (or not)... :rolleyes:

[hfmls]

well they have to do something, i'm tired of shoot and fail.....really. to use a receiver only for cccam client, i can use a kathrein for 150€ ..... and faster zapping and interface. :|

azbox hd HAS to be perfect in media center really soon!!! it's unaceptable!

just hire more 4 or 5 pro coders!! jesus!

[iceman3108]

DTS sound is not perfect on the latest FW. I still have drop-outs of my LG HT762 home cinema.

[jonsch]

Any Azbox developers / company owners here??

Wanna increase the numbers of sold azboxes by a few hundred percent instantly? Fix the streaming part. USB / Internal or network, just make one of them to work OK to begin with!

[hfmls]

i just gave up using usb-hdd or cifs.

i bought a 60€ pc and made a cccam server and NFS server.
i watched now 5 movies 1080p+dts all all perfect. really perfect. fast forward rewind, all good.using NFS

opensat come on?! NFS better than usb-hdd?

[jonsch]

Also running NFS now, and it works great with normal size movies 720p. Still my really high bitrate 1080p 12-13GB movies fails after a while.

heh, thinking about moving recording USB HDD to my server and share it from there. Will probably work much better then having it connected directly to the Azbox :)

[goran]

Yes, since the ceiling hasn't really been removed from the FW - I wonder how some here say it works without any problems whatsoever, at highest bitrates etc. Your report seems more "realistic", for want of a better word...

When they write a better processor driver we will hear from them, I am sure! Then, the "throttle" will also be removed with giving us the info about it... ;)

I agree that the proper NAS [if that works better] support should be already included in the FW!

[hfmls]

here works without any problems whatsoever!

1080p + dts

[goran]

This is from d-dan on Sat-Universe forum:


CIFS -> DOM /Downloads

(That DOM module should be faster that 100Mbits/sec surely)

Saw quite a bug doing these transfer tests, looks like something is crapping out during transfers.

3Mbytes/sec write speed ain't bad for a Sigma, so don't knock it too much.

It's buggy as hell, the `test` file is a 60Mb binary of zeros. First test would transfer between 30-40% of the file and then kill the cp command. After shutting down the running CAMS/EMUS I could get over 50% transferred.

SO be thankful that the speed is throttled by software, the alternative is this...(from dmesg)

I'll plug in an external drive in the next few days and add some swap to see what happens.

The buffers are down to zilch to cater for the running processes, bloody hell Opensat, time to take the bloat out.

Can the difference between CIFS and NFS be "it" - that there is nothing more, regardless of the problems he pointed out to?!?

[humaxarie]

is there no possibility to use miitool or eth tool ????
i'm no programmer, but i thought it is used for limiting network cards..

[rocktheroad]

i just gave up using usb-hdd or cifs.

i bought a 60€ pc and made a cccam server and NFS server.
i watched now 5 movies 1080p+dts all all perfect. really perfect. fast forward rewind, all good.using NFS

opensat come on?! NFS better than usb-hdd?

I have problem watching 1080p+DTS on internal HDD?! what fw you are using?
NFS is at least the same if not worse than internall HDD

[hfmls]

latest beta firmware.
i never used internal HDD since i don't have a premium.
but NFS connected with wired network. both cables (azbox and server) connected to a router.

all good.

[dutchmatrix]

Someone in another forum also suggested to set to box to ntsc instead of pal.
For him this was also a big improvement.

[hfmls]

:S lol serious?

[FME_fta]

Using NTSC might help the micro stuttering, because its always hard to grab a tipical NTSC movie with typical NTSC framerates and convert them to work in 50 or 25 FPS for PAL.
The same is true in converting a PAL movie to be used in NTSC.

Now if a movie was unplayable in PAL and is playable in NTSC, then than as nothing to do with micro stuttering, but some flaw or bug in azbox.

[jackhulk]

Hello

Is this still the best way to playback 1080 mkv's without stutter?

I've succesfully followed FME_fta excellent install guide from page 2 (thanks man) and can see the shares on my AZBox, however, when I try to play a small avi file (just to test), screen goes black as if ready to play but then the only thing that is displayed is the stop sign (the white square) in the top left hand corner. Then I have to do a hard reset.

I've also tried with proNFS but get exactly the same results. I can confirm the same file plays fine via smb. I've opened correct ports on router and added server to allowed list within firewall.

Running Windows 7 64bit & AZBox fw 0.9.4991 (5006 & 5020 kept freezing box).

Where am I going wrong please?

UPDATE: It was my damn firewall! However, NFS hasn't made any improvement to the DTS sound stutter what so ever (opened a new thread regarding this).

Hi

Thanks for the step by step guidens, I have follow-up exactly these guidens something go wrong with my set-up.
After the telnet session the anonced :NOT FOUND
Wat could this be?
Please read my configuration
OS system : Windows xp pro
Dec: Dreambox 800se sim2.10 ssl84a(Second Stage Loader, typically for clone box)
How I proceed!
1 Install HaneWIN NFS Server
2 Give full permissions (inbound and outbound) in the firewall to HaneWIN........
3 Make sure "nfsd.exe" and "pmapd.exe" are running..................
4 Go to the "Exports" tab and click .....................
5 My line in export via note pad d:\dm800se_saves -public 192.168.1.xxx (IP dreambox) save, close, restart server, OK., this appears in export tab.
6 Via active telnet seccion DCC (Dreambox Control Center), I typed following line with respect for spaces as you recommendet: mount -t nfs 192.168.1.xxx(IP from PC):/c/dm800se_saves /DATA/Records -o nolock,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,in tr 0 0 then enter, result : not found (immediately message)

Could you please explain
1 Do i need to creat the folder Records on my PC and Dreambox, yes or no? (this name appears in my line on the telnet seccion)
2 Are there spaces between intr space o space o? yes or no? (in the telnet line)
3 Do I need to write: ''(these symbols) in the active telnet line

I hope that you understand my resume, if not or need further info please replay.

Very kind regards
