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

@Cr4z33
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. ;)

Can you post your MMM-Dreambox config.

catching error if you want to DB-PLAY before selecting a channel: MM shows notification that no channel is selected

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.

I ran the update and now I get continuous PLAY without interruption,

Can you explain what you mean by this ?

Do you see the play symbol, but no stream ?

And a stupid question, but I made this mistake just now:
Do you do DB-PLAY or DB-START ?
I did DB-START and it did not work, obviously.
But before I found out it took a while.

Can you add

--genlog

to your config.js omxargs string ?
Like this:

omxargs: ' --genlog --win 0,625,590,957 -o both ',

The restart mm, select a service and do DB-PLAY.
There should be a file generated:

/home/pi/MagicMirror/omxplayer.log

If not try to find it:

$ sudo find / -name omxplayer.log

It should have contents like this:

pi@MagicPi:~ $ head -25 /home/pi/MagicMirror/omxplayer.log

When no log file is generated, then I am out of options.
AxLed is also using a non 80 port (90), so that can’t be it.

There is something wrong with the MM css of notifications on some MM versions, its not my module, i think there are already solutions in the forum.

Exactly.
I see the play triangle symbol on screen, but then there’s no streaming going on and yes I play DB-PLAY (not DB-START).

Adding --genlog apparently does generate no log.

I ran sudo find / -name omxplayer.log indeed, but it gave
find: ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied.
I checked that directory in the file manager and it was empty…

Then it means that omxplayer, so your stream, is not being started.
Perhaps @AxLed can log something in the pm2 log when omxplayer is supposed to be called (the the exact command line).

@Cr4z33
Btw, tried your config and it works using my IP and port 80.

Just to be sure, can you change your web IF HTTP port to 80 and try it again ?
And you do restart your MM after every change, right ?
I think you do, but just to rule it out.
