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

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

Here is a screenshot of my MirrorI 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¬ification=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:

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

@AxLed
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.AxLED

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

Hi @AxLed ,
Busy trying your updated module.
I am struggling a bit with it.1/ I suppose I set
apibouquet: 1,
Is that correct ?
What does it do ?
When just enabling, then why not true or false to make it more clear?
Or do I set it to 1 for bouquet 1 and 2 for 2, etc?
Please explain.2/ The parameter
listmax: 10,
is working, but after play or stop, it jumps to the bouquet name.3/ On my install, when I do DB-PLAY, it starts the stream twice.
So, I have 2 omxplayer process-sets and it takes up 2 streams on my Dreambox.
EDIT: now streaming Das Erste HD. No other process-sets present.
Perhaps decoding takes to long and omxplayer is respawning.4/ Even though I have employer processes, I do not see anything on my screen.
EDIT: now streaming Das Erste HD.
I think I have a local issue, as I cannot stream decoded content anymore.
My MPG2 license is still valid.
Perhaps a performance issue.
