[MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer

[evroom]

Hi,

What does pm2 log say?

And do you see omxplayer in the process list ?

$ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep

Finally, can you see if omxplayer works standalone ?

$ omxplayer --vol -6000 --win "0 0 720 576" --live http://192.168.1.50:8001/1:0:19:2B66:3F3:1:C00000:0:0:0:

I have some ideas and need your feedback:

• is there a special reason why you are using the dev branch? If not, try the master branch instead
• is streaming of recordings working?
• your log shows that omx player is doing something, please consider it takes up to 15 seconds before a stream starts after you send DB-Play
• are your enigma2 settings on your VU like this (similar, the following screenshot is of a Dreambox DM800SE with a oozoon image):

Hey Guys,

thanks a lot for your help. I checked everything you mentioned.

But at last the problem was that I did everything which is written in the Tutorial for installing MagicMirror on a Raspberry ;-) !

In the Tutorial for “Configuring the Raspberry Pi” is recommended to enable the OpenGL-Driver. I did it before installing anything else.
But this was the Problem, when I disable this driver, omxplayer works fine with this module.

@Eisblume
I am glad the module works for you.
Have fun.

Yes, works perfect as you can see on the picture.

Now I finally have to build the frame with the mirror ;-).

@robiv8 back up in the log output about 10 lines is the thing missing

@sdetweil
many thanks
Update:
The list is coming and with http://192.168.3.140:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT i can go up and down in the Favourites.
When i put http://192.168.3.140:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY in a browser,
on the epglist comes the play sign but no video?
The test with: omxplayer http://192.168.3.105:8002/1:0:1:2F1D:441:1:C00000:0:0:0:
is fine and the video is playing fine.

any tip for me

I solved it myself :-)

The problem was that no video was played. With Omxplayer and the direct streamlink it did.

But! My VU Solo2 sends 2 streams, one normal and one transcoded. I think the second one is the weakened one for weak players :-)

The original stream goes through port 8001 and the transcoded one through 8002, and that was the solution.
I changed that in the node_helper.js at DB-PLAY.

It would be great if you could set this individually in the config.

Deutsch:
Probblem war das kein Video abgespielt wurde. Mit Omxplayer und dem direkten streamlink hat es aber getan.

Aber! Meine VU Solo2 sendet 2 streams, einmal den Normalen und einmal den Transkodierten. Ich denke der zweite ist der abgeschwächte für schwache Player :-)

Der Original Stream läuft über den port 8001 und er Transkodierte über 8002, und das war die lösung.
Ich habe das in der node_helper.js geändert bei DB-PLAY.

Es wäre toll wenn man das in der Config Individuell einstellen könnte.

Now I need some help,

1. why doesn’t it show me the EPG info.
2. can I put it in 2 columns next to each other (to save space) with so many channels?
   and last but not least
   When you press DB-PLAY it takes about 5-10 seconds until the video comes, can you set a status bar with a sample message until the stream starts: Video coming or similar.

Thank you very much
And this module is awesome :-)
