@axled OK gimme a minute and I send them.

@Cr4z33
Thanks for your files, one a fast view you also have more than one bouquet in “getallservices”, so my last fix should work for you also.

Try agit pull (master repository).

The services list now is present.
Next step is to stream one.

@axled the situation now is like in the below screenshot and I still don’t know how I am supposed to stream a channel (if I don’t have to specify its url). :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

evroom

All actions:

http://192.168.178.30:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT

http://192.168.178.30:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-PREV

http://192.168.178.30:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY

http://192.168.178.30:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-STOP

Result in:

Cannot GET /remote

How do you plan to interact with your MM?
I have a rotary encoder. Buttons or touch is also fine.
For the beginning you can use MMM-Remote-Control to send notifications.
I have to complete my Readme, that the sample links only work with MMM-Remote-Control

So install MMM-Remote-Control, open an browser, modify the links matching to your environment and you should be able to select channels and stream them.

Important: Try with SD Channels first, as for HD channels the mpg2 codec is needed.

I was about to ask about this.
Suppose it works, how will I use it in practise?

I have a Pi with a monitor connected hanging in the kitchen.
No fancy mirror like many, with speech and buttons and PIRs.

So, basically no interaction.

I plan on getting speech running, but I have other projects running at this moment (for instance Homematic IP and ioBroker).

I will try to install MMM-Remote-Control and see if that will work.

@Cr4z33
I dont know if it makes sense, to use a favorite list of services/stations/channels that wont fit on the screen of MM, as the list is to long.

Start streaming can be done by selecting one service/station/channel (by using yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT for example) and than start streaming by (yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION&notification=DB-PLAY).

Do you have MMM-Remote-Control installed?
Se my previous answer to evroom.

@axled oh now I understand.
Thanks for the information.

However I don’t have MMM-Remote-Control and I rather prefer to control everything by voice commands (MMM-AssistantMk2).
Sorry, but then this module doesn’t suit my needs. :winking_face:

@Cr4z33
You should be able to send notifications by voice commands also.

Here is a screenshot of my Mirror

I have a PIR-Sensor (for turning screen on/off) and a rotary encoder connected (to the GPIO PINs of the Pi).

In the bottom right corner you see my “first” module MMM-Navigate which interacts with the rotary encoder.

So depending on the navigation menu i am able to:

swipe pages (i have four)
show Details to newsfeeds (opens website to the newsfeed)
adjust brightness
select dreambox channels
start/stop streaming dreambox channels
control the mirror (restart mm, shutdown, reboot)
and for the future: everything which can handle the MM notification system
