hi evrybody,
could someone just write a little "operational guide" to install this new client + configure it please ?
I just fear to forget smthg important...
I just installed the client on my Dune Smart B1, but the launch failed
how can I configure it ?
thank you very
much in advance !
regards
EDIT :
here is a little installation guide
- download the client ad put it on a place accessible by your Dune (on local storage, or network storage)
- In Dune file explorer, hit enter on the file
- after a few seconds, you should have a message "OK" (--> client installed on Dune)
- Go to Set Up > Applications > DPCand press enter
- then you at least have to configure the IP address
- then go to Sources, you should have the DPC client at the bottom of the screen
- 'don't forget to update "connections settings" in setup screen' ; yes indeed you can click on the paths you see (the ones configured on PMS) to modify them (ex : on Windows, you'll have smthg like V:\... but the Dune doesn't know V:\ --> so you can choose between SMB, NFS, network storage or local storage
[EDIT]
here are some explanations for connection setup :
- "server --> the @ip of the final equipment where the files are (not necessarily where PMS is)
- "folder" --> the folder known by your Dune to access these files (NOTA : you should try to access your files BEFORE configuring DPC, and configure this parameter the same way)
these parameters depend on the type of access you have chosen (smb, etc)
I give you here my example :
without speeaking of DPC, I configured my Dune to access my NAS via smb (I was able to do it alone, so it's very easy ; start with "network connections" under "Sources")
so I can see under "Sources" :
- "music"
- "video"
and when I choose one of them (say "video"), I browse directly the content of "/volume1/NAS/video" which is on my NAS, so i can watch with Dune movies stored on my NAS
so let's say I go to "video/etrangers (foreign)/" : i see all my foreign movies
ok ?
Now with PMS & DPC :
in PMS, I configured a "movies" type library with the path "/media/NAS/video/etrangers" (which is linked via smb to "NAS_@ip/NAS/video" on my NAS in a config file)
then in DPC, under "connection settings", I already have the path "/media/NAS/video/etrangers" given by PMS (to DPC)
when I click on it, I can configure :
- protocol : smb
- server : @ip of my NAS
- folder : "video/etrangers" <-- "video" is the folder I have under "Sources", remember ?
so when DPC has to read a movie, let's say "casino royale", PMS gives to it the path "/media/NAS/video/etrangers/casino royale" and DPC tranforms it to "@ip of my NAS/video/etrangers/casino royale"
I hope it helps !
