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

AxLed

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.

@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.

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.

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.

@Cr4z33

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…
