You can debug Dreambox ReStream, you can add the following querystring to the weburl:
?debug=1

The problem is that PHP is setup to show also notices. There notices are harmless and it is advised to disable the notice reporting.

You can change this by editing the php.ini file and change the setting 'error_reporting' from 'E_ALL' to 'E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE'

Restart apache and the notices are gone and the software is working.

This is because it takes more than XX seconds to get all the data from your dreambox.
The sollution is quite simple: Locate your php.ini file and open it with a text editor. Look for the line max_execution_time. It should say something like 30. Increase that number to 60.
Restart your apache to reload the php settings. Now you have 60 seconds the time to get the information from your dreambox. If this is still to less, just increase the number with 30 seconds each.

Make sure you have php_safe_mode off. This is needed to execute the VLC executable.

You can change that in the php.ini file, or setting it in httpd.conf file as an php option:
php_admin_flag safe_mode Off
