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

evroom

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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).

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.

@Cr4z33
Is the IP of your VU receiver from internal Lan or external (DDNS)?

@AxLed it’s an internal LAN IP address.
