      Adding --genlog apparently does generate no log.

      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).

        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.

          @evroom thanks for your suggestion, but honestly I don’t want to change to default port.

          Even if it was working I don’t feel save because I use the Vu+ through DDNS service when I am out of home. ;)

            I just tested port 137.
            Works just fine.
            As expected, but you never know.

              @evroom hmm I wonder what the hell can it be then? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

              MPEG2 License is OK, normal command line omxplayer streaming is OK, I am out of ideas too… :confounded_face:

              Can you send me please by private chat the WHOLE module config you are using?
              Let’s see if there’s any difference in it.

                Is the IP of your VU receiver from internal Lan or external (DDNS)?

                  @AxLed it’s an internal LAN IP address.

                    @AxLed I tried @evroom 's module config, but it keeps not streaming.

                      Try this:

                      $ cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Dreambox/
                      
                      $ cp -p node_helper.js node_helper.js.orig
                      
                      $ vi node_helper.js
                      
                      Locate:
                      
                      exec('omxplayer '
                      
                      Append this line:
                      
                      console.log('DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);
                      
                      
                      Locate next:
                      
                      exec('omxplayer '
                      
                      Append this line:
                      
                      console.log('DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer '+self.config.omxargs+self.trimPort(self.config.apiBase)+':8001/'+payload[0]);
                      
                      
                      $ pm2 restart mm
                      
                      $ pm2 logs
                      
                      Select a service and play that service:
                      
                      http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT
                      
                      http://< MM_IP >:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY
                      

                      In pm2 logs should appear:

                      0|mm  | DB-PLAY(1): omxplayer  --genlog --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http://192.168.178.47:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                      

                      or:

                      0|mm  | DB-PLAY(2): omxplayer  --genlog --vol -6000 --win 0,625,590,957 --live http://192.168.178.47:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
                      

                      In my case I see DB-PLAY(2).

                      If you see nothing then it is back to the drawing board.
                      Need to see what works and what not and where in the code.
