      @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
            pi       28431 28259  0 18:06 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 320,180,1600,900  -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:16:177A:C82:3:EB0000:0:0:0:

                Okay, rebooted in order to start fresh.

                Now 1 stream.
                Looks like one actual omxplayer active:

                pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
                pi       29320 29185  0 18:39 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,0,480,320  -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:16:177A:C82:3:EB0000:0:0:0:
                pi       29321 29320  0 18:39 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/omxplayer --win 0,0,480,320 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:16:177A:C82:3:EB0000:0:0:0:
                pi       29344 29321 10 18:39 ?        00:00:01 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,0,480,320 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:16:177A:C82:3:EB0000:0:0:0:
                

                InfoBarTunerState also states there is one stream.

                The will do for today.
                Will do some more testing tomorrow.

                Thanks a lot AxLed for the support so far !!

                  Good to hear you had success and thanks for your challenge with more than one bouquet 😂, helped debugging the module.

                    I have opened 4 feature requests on GitHub.

                    To be honest, my MM is hanging a meter or so away from the TV, so I most probably will not make use of the module.
                    Navigating through the services list and starting & stopping a stream is not that comfortable
                    Although it might be practical to see on my MM what is currently playing and I might use it solely as a program guide.

                    Will be available though for some testing.

                      Hi, if the to monitors are close together you can still view 2 different shows :-) .
                      I checked your 4 feature requests and added 2 of them in the module.
                      For the other two i can not promise, if they will be implemented.

                        In your feature request, you wanted to select a bouquet (if there is more than one):

                        Okay.
                        Let’s say I have the bouquet “MagicMirror (TV)”, could there be an option to use this one, instead of the default “Favourites (TV)” ?
                        I assume “Favourites (TV)” is the default.

                        Please check the dev branch of my module.

                        1. Rename your MMM-Dreambox folder to _MMM-Dreambox (for example)
                        2. do a git clone --branch dev https://github.com/Ax-LED/MMM-Dreambox.git in your modules folder
                        3. add new parameters to your config.js, as descriped in readme. (see apibouquet and listmax).

                        Regards
