    Icon14 Watch files from your pc (Win 7)

    Here is an Exemple in how to see files (videos) from your PC.

    - PC Windows 7 x64
    - PC Name : torrent
    - PC Password : 1234

    The name and the password are very important, without password it won't work !
    In this exemple i'm using the folder "Downloads" from my pc account.
    Go to C: , Users, torrent, right click on downloads folder and choose "proprieties", Go to tab "Share" and enter, now enter "advanced Share" thick the case "share this folder" validate after hit "ok".
    We are done with the PC, you can repeat this step with others Folders if you want.

    Now we go to Drembox
    Enter menu, setup, system, network and enter "Lan connection".
    Go to "network browser", now you should see all your network devices, and in this case something like this: 192.168.1.14 (TORRENT-PC).

    Now, enter "192.168.1.14 (TORRENT-PC)", Dream will ask if you want enter a name and password, choose "YES" and enter this : Name: torrent, Password: 1234 validate (enter OK).
    Next, enter "Mounts Management" and choose "add new network mount point".

    Active - Enable
    Local share name - Sharename (or enter another name if you have several pc's or folders)
    Mount Type - CIFS share
    Server IP - 192.168.1.14
    Server Share - downloads (or enter the folder you shared before on your pc)
    Use as HDD replacement - no
    Mount Options - rw
    Username - torrent
    Password - 1234

    No Hit "OK" to activate.
    Now you should be able to see the folder on your pc.
    In this video, i'm using dm8000 with last "NewNigma2" Image, but it's working also on my others boxes (enigma1 and enigma2).

    Now enter Menu and choose "Media Player" or "Dvd Player" on left side of screen you should see all "devices" on your Dm8000, in my case i have : USB CF Reader, ST3250823AS(my hdd), Harddisk, Internal Flash and Sharename
    On my Shared pc folder, i only have downloaded MKV's and Dvd's.
    For Playing Video, i have choosed "Dvd Player" as you can see.

    Video from Dm8000

    Just repeat the steps above, or Share the whole hard drive ( i don't advise to do this, because your whole Hdd will be visible to you and to "hackers").

    If you have another folder to share, just repeat the steps above.
