      @axled the situation now is like in the below screenshot and I still don’t know how I am supposed to stream a channel (if I don’t have to specify its url). :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

          How do you plan to interact with your MM?
          I have a rotary encoder. Buttons or touch is also fine.
          For the beginning you can use MMM-Remote-Control to send notifications.
          I have to complete my Readme, that the sample links only work with MMM-Remote-Control

          So install MMM-Remote-Control, open an browser, modify the links matching to your environment and you should be able to select channels and stream them.

          Important: Try with SD Channels first, as for HD channels the mpg2 codec is needed.

            I was about to ask about this.
            Suppose it works, how will I use it in practise?

            I have a Pi with a monitor connected hanging in the kitchen.
            No fancy mirror like many, with speech and buttons and PIRs.

            So, basically no interaction.

            I plan on getting speech running, but I have other projects running at this moment (for instance Homematic IP and ioBroker).

            I will try to install MMM-Remote-Control and see if that will work.

              I dont know if it makes sense, to use a favorite list of services/stations/channels that wont fit on the screen of MM, as the list is to long.

              Start streaming can be done by selecting one service/station/channel (by using yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT for example) and than start streaming by (yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY).

              Do you have MMM-Remote-Control installed?
              Se my previous answer to evroom.

                @axled oh now I understand.
                Thanks for the information.

                However I don’t have MMM-Remote-Control and I rather prefer to control everything by voice commands (MMM-AssistantMk2).
                Sorry, but then this module doesn’t suit my needs. :winking_face:

                  You should be able to send notifications by voice commands also.

                    Here is a screenshot of my Mirror0_1546103144414_MM_Screenshot.gif

                    I have a PIR-Sensor (for turning screen on/off) and a rotary encoder connected (to the GPIO PINs of the Pi).

                    In the bottom right corner you see my “first” module MMM-Navigate which interacts with the rotary encoder.

                    So depending on the navigation menu i am able to:

                    • swipe pages (i have four)
                    • show Details to newsfeeds (opens website to the newsfeed)
                    • adjust brightness
                    • select dreambox channels
                    • start/stop streaming dreambox channels
                    • control the mirror (restart mm, shutdown, reboot)
                    • and for the future: everything which can handle the MM notification system

                      Okay, I have MMM-Remote-Control running and I can open the menu.
                      Now using:

                      http://192.168.178.30:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY
                      

                      I get this:

                      {"status":"success"}
                      

                      Now I see a stream on my monitor !!

                      With DB-SERVICE-NEXT and DB-SERVICE-PREV I can scroll through the services list
                      Also gives

                      {"status":"success"}
                      

                      But I cannot switch to another service with DB-PLAY.

                      And I have a side effect that it takes 3 or 4 services on my Dreambox.
                      I have the plugin InfoBarTunerState installed and I see that MM is trying to stream multiple services.

                      At this moment I see one stream on my MM monitor, but my Dreambox tells me there are 2 MM streams present (on 2 different services).

                      Here the OMXPlayer processes at this moment:

                      pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep

                        Btw, is there a possibility to have the start, next, prev and stop URL’s configured in MMM-Remote-Control ?
