Server downtime

This week there was a hard disk failure. And it took longer than intended to fix the failing disk. But after four days we are back online... with still a failing disk :(

So at the moment the data is being moved from the failing disk to a new disk. This will take some hours and probably also some downtime. But at least the site is up and the mail is working again.

Dreambox ReStream 2.0.4

Another update of the Dreambox ReStream software. This version should fix the problem with a lot or boutiques. You need a CSS3 capable browser to get it working.

Another issue is that Windows 7 and 2008 have problems starting VLC when you zap. This problem should also being fixed, but I can't test it because I don't use Windows :P

Further more I have updated some libraries like jQuery, jQuery UI and jQuery mobile. This should also make the mobile web interface working again. And with a RTSP enabled phone, you can watch your TV on your mobile phone!

Dreambox ReStream 2.0.3

A new version is out. It is mostly a bug fixing round. Check the change log on the download page for the changes.

A rather big change is the extra setting for streaming with VLC only. It was not possible to set a different public DNS name to the VLC server an run it locally. Now there is an extra setting which will hold the DNS name. Look for the variable '$vlcPlayerIP'.

And I hope that some cosmetic issues are fixed. So that the channels are accessable with a lot of boutiques.

Dreambox ReStream 2.0.2

A new version is here. This version has some small fixes and a new feature. You can read more on the download page where the changelog is.

There is still a small issue with the amount of boutiques and the height of the channels listings. I am working on that to find a solution for that.
