Hi Guys
Having just updated my radio to an internet one with all the bells and whistles and connected to the Mac for all audio files does anyone know if I can use a file like Elgato or Media Tomb to connect to the Dreambox via Wifi to stream video etc? It would be so much easier than using a PC wired or via ethernet, or am I being backward here? Many thanks for any help - Brain

There are two UPnP plugins that I know of.

Ushare is a UPnP Server.

DJMount is a UPnp Client

Hi Quailman
Thanks for that - can I load these onto Dreambox or if I load onto Mac will it see the DM? Oh - thats a silly question since I have loaded the Elgato onto the mac and the mac finds the receiver so I presume the Dm will do the same. How can I then pull up a playlist on the DM - via media player perhaps? Sorry if these seem stupid questions. Thanks - Brain

They are both plugins for your DM,

Ushare will allow a UPnP devise to connect to your DM and access your DMīs contents.

DJmount is so your DM can connect to a UPnP devise and access its contents.

I dont know if it will work with your devise but worth a try.
