      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:

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

            @Cr4z33
            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

            WHERE do I have to enter these commands?

            In a RPI terminal window?
            In my ie. Windows 10 Internet browser address box?

              As you have MMM-Remote-Control installed you can test MMM-Dreambox with MMM-Remote-Control first, to make sure it works at all. (Requirement: Your mirror is reachable by browser in the same network). Open browser and enter (without the spaces around &):

              • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT (for selecting next service)

              • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-SERVICE-PREV (for selecting prev.service)

              • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-PLAY (for start streaming)

              • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-STOP (for stop streaming)

              Hint: HD Services need MPG License so maybe start with SD services.

              You can also try the dev branch, as this is the newer one with more functions.

                @axled thanks got the remote module working, but then when I send the commands (succesfully confirmed by the web page) I see no streaming going on in MM.

                By the way I choosed to install the dev branch of your module.

                  Can you show me the MMM-Dreambox Part of your config and some logs?

                  Playing does not work, is selecting DB-SERVICE-NEXT (PREV) working?

                    @axled this is the config part:

                    		{
                    			module: 'MMM-Dreambox',
                    			header: 'Vu+ Duo²',
                    			position: 'bottom_left',
                    			disabled: false,
                    			config: {
                    				apiBase: 'http://*.*.*.*:****',
                    				omxargs: ' --win 320,180,1600,900  -o both ',
                    				refreshInterval: 1000 * 30, //refresh every 30 seconds
                    				apiabout: '/web/about',
                    				apiservices: '/web/getallservices',
                    				apiepgnow: '/web/epgnow?bRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.favourites.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet',
                    				apizap: '/web/zap?sRef=',
                    				apiTimerlist: '/web/timerlist',
                    				apiServicelistplayable: '/web/servicelistplayable?sRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.favourites.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet'
                    				}
                    		},
                    

                    I wanted then to paste here the logs and what was happening when sendings commands, but all I get now is

                    status	"error"
                    reason	"unknown_command"
                    info	"original input: {\"action\":\"NOTIFICATION \",\" notification\":\"DB-PLAY\"}"
                    

                    I feel like I am missing something? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

                    This is btw the MMM-Remote-Control config part:

                    		{
                    			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
                    			// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
                    			position: 'bottom_left'
                    			// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
                    		},

                      it is not easy to give support, with this less informations.
                      As you send me .xml files some days ago, i saw some minor errors in your config.js

                      1. apibouquet and listmax is missing, so module use defaults (apibouquet: 0, listmax: 15)
                      2. apiepgnow and apiServicelistplayable are wrong, to match to your receiver/xml file you send me the should look as follows:
                      • apiepgnow: ‘/web/epgnow?bRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.TerrestrialTv.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet’,
                      • apiServicelistplayable: ‘/web/servicelistplayable?sRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.TerrestrialTv.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet’,

                      Can you please also answer my question:
                      Playing does not work, is selecting DB-SERVICE-NEXT (PREV) working?

                      To help you further i need some screenshots of the module on your mirror and some logs (pm2 or from the browser by using F12).

                        @axled sorry for the late reply. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

                        I’ve installed your module from scratch and now every MMM-Remote-Control command (but streaming) is working.

                        Honestly I can’t understand what is wrong because before going to use my decoder with your module all Dreambox-like applications worked like a charm.

                        What if it depends on using a different WebIf port (I am not using the default 80/8080 port)?
                        And even if why not?
                        So far every Android Dreambox app (ie. DreamDroid) or Windows channel editor program for Dreambox that I’ve used worked perfectly.
