      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:
          0_1549304462382_screenshot2.JPG
          DB-PLAY send (unfortunatelly i can show omxplayer on my dev machine):

              @cr4z33 said in [MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer:

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

              That is because @evroom thought that the first service would be selected and streamed with DB-PLAY.
              Like @AxLed said, you need to use DB-SERVICE-NEXT first (as many times as needed to select the service to stream and then DB-PLAY to start the stream.

                @AxLed perhaps I was doing things wrongly, but even by doing them right the stream won’t start.

                Long story:

                I first run (succesfully) http://vuplusip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT and I see a channel gets selected in the list by being displayed into a gray rectangle.

                I then run (succesfully) http://vuplusip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY and I see a white PLAY triangle near the channel I selected before, but after let’s say 5-6 seconds the symbol goes away and nothing happens.

                I repeat I am using no authentication indeed, but I am using a different WebIf port.
                Maybe this can be helpfull for you?

                  Just to be sure, did you do:

                  $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Dreambox
                  $ git pull
                  $ git status
                  
                  On branch dev
                  Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/dev'.
                  nothing to commit, working tree clean
                  

                  Restart MM when there was something new pulled.

                  And the correct path for the notifications is:

                  http://{MagicMirror_IP}:8080/
                  

                  Not your VU+ IP.
                  And port 8080.

                  After DB-PLAY do on the MM (pretty fast after DB-PLAY):

                  $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
                  

                  to be sure really nothing is streaming.
                  Streaming uses port 8001 so I am pretty sure that your port from apiBase has nothing to do with it.
                  It is only used to get the services list (which you apparently see on your Mirror).

                  And btw, my omxargs is:

                  omxargs: ' --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live ',
                  

                  Do not know if this makes a difference.

                  And you can stream from the command line, right?

                  $ omxplayer --vol -6000 --win "0 0 480 320" --live http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:1:38F1:2648:FBFF:820000:0:0:0:

                    @evroom

                    I did some further bugfixing / adding usability:

                    • catching error if you want to DB-PLAY before selecting a channel: MM shows notification that no channel is selected
                    • catching error if you want to DB-STOP before streaming: exiting css formating
                    • selected channel will stay selected, even if refresh intervall get new datas from receiver
                    • play symbol will stay selected, only DB-STOP and selection of new channel removes it

                    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 a little bit smoother and shows the user some information if some of the functions a used in the wrong order.

                      @evroom I confirm that everything you wrote is what I am getting (succesfully) BUT the ps part which gives no output after I enter the command.

                      @AxLed I ran the update and now I get continuous PLAY without interruption, but there’s still no video output on screen.

                        Are you trying to stream a sd or hd channel, as hd streaming needs mpg license on the pi.
                        If you dont have a mpg license try streaming a sd channel.
