    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

              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.

                Example for observation/issue 3:

                DB-PLAY:

                pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
                pi        4190  4061  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                pi        4191  4190  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/omxplayer --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                pi        4214  4191  7 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                pi        4222  4061  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                pi        4223  4222  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/omxplayer --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                pi        4246  4223 13 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                

                After a few seconds and when the stream is visible on the screen:

                pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
                pi        4190  4061  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

                pi        4214  4191 10 19:31 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

                  here are some questions:
                  to 1: apibouquet expects a number (integer) and in java it starts with 0. If i use the xml-sample file of /web/getallservices you send me its in your case as follows:
                  0: Favourites (TV)
                  1: Nederland (TV)
                  2: Duitsland (TV)

                  to 2: i cant reproduce this behavior

                  to 3 & 4: try disabling some other modules, to find out if there is a intolerance beetween modules.

                    to 1: thanks. Very clear.

                    to 2: does not happen always, or too fast to detect (I did ps manually).

                    to 3: did this, but does not help. I have think I have an issue that is related to my install only.

                    Thanks for the changes. It makes it more usable.

                      @axled I want to give this module another try for some testing, but I still didn’t understand how am I supposed to stream a Dreambox channel in MM? :hushed_face:
