      I have successfully tested you latest changes.
      Everything work very well.
      Thanks for taking the time and quick responses.

      I have requested 2 new features via GitHub:

      [Feature Request] - make zapping possible by using DB-ZAP
      [Feature Request] - get sRef and bRef information from getservices

      MagicMirror version: 2.30.0
      Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.5 (8 GB RAM)
      Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

      Test environment:
      MagicMirror version: v2.30.0
      Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.3 (1 GB RAM)
      Raspbian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)

        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.

              Regards

                @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.

                    @axled I am trying to stream an HD channel, but MPEG2 license is OK.

                    Normal omxplayer syntax from terminal is just fine. ;)

                        I do see a white box on top of the Mirror, but I do not see the text.
                        Can it be it is white text over a white background ?

                        The rest is working as designed.
