DreamStreamoid

by Torsten Zey


DreamStreamoid is a android client for enigma2 receivers (dreambox, VU+ ....)
The focus is on the streaming of programs, recordings and videos.
You can easily stream channels and recordings, switch channels,
browse the EPG and choose bitrates and scalings via mobile phone.

You can stream channels, using a VLC-Server, Daroon Player or MX Video Player.

At sufficiently high speed DSL or cable connection you can easily stream TV
via 3G mobile internet onto the phone! A good compromise between bandwidth
and quality is 192 kbit/s for the video and 64 kbit/s for the sound.
