Streaming from Azbox to PC

I've been playing with this for a hour or so. I thought I'd share since some are interested.

I am using version 0.9.4295. The UDP stream has been present since v. 0.9.4283

It's VERY spotty. It doesn't work with all channels.

In Azbox when watching a channel, press "MENU" on the remote and select "Streaming".
Leave IP and Port (for now)
In "Duration" put the time that you want in minutes. To select 0 minutes select "not defined" and you will have streaming without time limits.

Open VLC. File/Open Network
Click 'Open RTP/UDP Stream'
Select: UDP, Multicast, IP(from Azbox), Port (from Azbox)

OR

On a PC, open the m3u file with VLC
You should have the streaming working in VLC with a PC in about one minute.

I've tried other ports with no better performance. Azbox will not let you enter a full 16 number IP address.

Woking better today (wife's not online)

It seems to work better with standard def channels; bio, history.

It runs pixelated for a minute, then seems to level out. I wish there was a buffer setting on the Azbox.

[update] Just added new bin that addresses streaming. Can't get it to work right now.
