AndroidDreamer

AndroidDreamer (ANDR) - now with streaming in Local LAN and remotely over 3G/HDSPA/WIFI. Works with Enigma1 and Enigma2. Other players, such as vPlayer, mPlayer and DagoonPlayer, are also supported as media-player.

Beta 0.61 of August 24, 2011

AndroidDreamer is an application for Dreambox-owners (or any Enigma1- or Enigma2-based satellite-receiver) which lets you watch your Dreambox on your Android via streaming in LAN and remotely over 3G/HDSPA/WIFI. It will later on also replace your real remote-control with an virtual one so you can control your Dreambox directly from your Android-device.

However, AndroidDreamer in this moment, is very simple and basic since it is in an early stage of development and currently it does not yet support features such as EPG, Remote Control, Timer Management etc.

Mainly, it was written quickly to test streaming and this beta release supports streaming (in Local LAN and remotely over 3G/HDSPA/WIFI) both for Enigma and Enigma2.

However, please note this is still a BETA and errors may occur. Since the streaming-part works well, I decided to make it available on the Android Market.

Note: What regards streaming over 3G/HDSPA, you should be aware of the fact that watching a stream from your Dreambox over 3G will consume a lot of data-traffic so you should have a contract with your mobile-operator which permits you unlimited data or at least a lot of data for a fixed price. However, if you are using AndroidDreamer for streaming within your Local LAN (using WIFI), then of course you will not consume any data-traffic on your mobile network.

Read carefully the instructions, especially what regards setting up 3G-streaming (VPN- e HTTP-modes). The instructions can be read by clicking on your Menu-button.

If you have any questions, please use the forum indicated in the instructions. Please also do not hesitate to send me feedback, bug-reports, suggestions and things you would like to see implemented in a future release.

Finally I want to thank my beta-testers Didier_74, Daniele, Macchese, Vippen and Albertazzi65 for their invaluable help in testing AndroidDreamer.

Change-log (for full change-log, see instructions in the application):
-ANDR beta 0.61 (August 24, 2011) - Adjusted activity-views (screens/forms) so they will hopefully be displayed correctly when using tablets. Some internal code-changes. Experimental release.
-various releases published between January 5 to May 17, 2011
-ANDR beta 0.45 (January 2, 2011) - first release on Android Market

Good luck and Happy Streaming

Regards,
Tilleke
