      I never tried my module in dreambox standby, as i dont use it. My dreambox is on or in deep standby.

      When in deep standby I would expect that you will see

      < e2servicename >< /e2servicename >

      for /web/about.
      And as you do not see an error, I fail to see the difference with the VU+ in soft-standby.

      But in deep standby, you cannot stream, can you ?
      Will the playable services then be none ?

      Cannot test this now without being killed by the family :-)

        Welcome to my world :-)

        I have another idea:
        Did you check/compare the settings on your tuners (dreambox vs. VU+).
        I case of my dreambox (DM800SE) they are under:

        • Erweiterungen -> Webinterface
        • Extensions -> Webinterface (maybe the spelling is different, as i translated them into english)

        This is a screenshot of my actual setting (i only played around with the HTTP Port to fix some earlier bugs):

          For VU+ Solo2:

          Port is 80 and HTTP authentication on yes.

          0_1549192232166_vuplus_solo2_webinterface.jpg

          Will set HTTP authentication to no and try again.

          I see now, there is also a separate OpenWebif config:

          0_1549192539328_vuplus_solo2_openwebif.jpg

          This uses port 81 and indeed works.
          Looks totally different from the Webif.
          Interesting.

          For the Dreambox I cannot find a menu item like this.
          I still use the original Dreambox OE2.0 image.

            Excellent idea on a Sunday !!!

            Changed Enable HTTP Authentication to no and see, it works !!!
            The services list is shown and streaming works.

            The same issues occur though for the dual tuner VU+:
            After the first DB-PLAY all is well, but then DB-STOP, DB-SERVICE-NEXT and DB-PLAY causes 2 streams.
            Will try now on the single tuner VU+.

            Perhaps you try setting it to yes for the Dreambox and see what happens ?
            If the same errors appear then it is confirmed.

              I will try the authentication thing if i find some time, maybe i can catch the error and handle it, so the module user know what to do.

                Conclusion:

                When you do DB-PLAY it streams one service.
                Then a next DB-PLAY will stream another service, so 2 in total.
                Next DB-PLAY, next stream, etc.

                When you stream 2 times the same service and the power of your MM device is enough (I have a Pi 3 Model B), you will not notice it.
                With 3 streams you will see artefacts.

                When you do DB-SERVICE-NEXT, DB-PLAY, DB-SERVICE-NEXT, DB-PLAY you will have 2 different services streaming.
                Then you will see 2 streams overlapping and you will see that 2 streams are running in parallel.

                  Final thoughts for today.

                  New commands:

                  Select the next service and play:
                  DB-SERVICENEXTANDPLAY

                  Stop the current stream and start a new stream (handy after a DB-SERVICE-NEXT):
                  DB-STOPANDPLAY

                  Stop the current stream, select the next service and start a new stream (allows zapping):
                  DB-STOPANDSERVICENEXTANDPLAY

                  Or when DB-PLAY, stop a possible current stream and then start a stream.

                    @
                    I did some further bugfixing:

                    • added catching of error 401 unauthorized (this is when in enigma2 receiver webinterface setting Enable HTTP Authentication is set to yes)
                    • added a stop of omxplayer before starting a new stream, so streaming of more than one unwanted streams should now work
                    • added readme with some enigma2 receiver requirements (Enable HTTP Authentication and powerstate)

                    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

                    Now the module should work with

                    • more informations on wrong enigma2 receiver settings
                    • the streaming of multiple channels should be fixed

                    Regards

                      @axled did everything suggested on my Vu+ Duo2, but I keep getting no streams.

                      When I do that DB-PLAY thing I get now a gray square containing the channels list exactly like what happened to @evroom .

                        Can you please describe it a little more detailed.
                        So i guess the module loads and shows you the following information:

                        • your VU+ Model
                        • the name of the favorites list (you entered in config.js) an number channels in that list
                        • the channel list, limited to the number you entered in config.js

                        Can you please comment or confirm the points mentioned above?

                        If the module load, you have to:

                        1. select a channel (DB-SERVICE-NEXT or DB-SERVICE-PREV), otherwise the module doesnt know which channel should be streamed.
                        2. choose DB-PLAY the start streaming the selected channel.

                        Screenshots:
                        Module loaded:

                        Select a channel:

                        DB-PLAY send (unfortunatelly i can show omxplayer on my dev machine):
