      Hi, if the to monitors are close together you can still view 2 different shows :-) .
      I checked your 4 feature requests and added 2 of them in the module.
      For the other two i can not promise, if they will be implemented.

        In your feature request, you wanted to select a bouquet (if there is more than one):

        Okay.
        Let’s say I have the bouquet “MagicMirror (TV)”, could there be an option to use this one, instead of the default “Favourites (TV)” ?
        I assume “Favourites (TV)” is the default.

        Please check the dev branch of my module.

        1. Rename your MMM-Dreambox folder to _MMM-Dreambox (for example)
        2. do a git clone --branch dev https://github.com/Ax-LED/MMM-Dreambox.git in your modules folder
        3. add new parameters to your config.js, as descriped in readme. (see apibouquet and listmax).

        Regards

          Hi @AxLed ,

          Busy trying your updated module.
          I am struggling a bit with it.

          1/ I suppose I set
          apibouquet: 1,
          Is that correct ?
          What does it do ?
          When just enabling, then why not true or false to make it more clear?
          Or do I set it to 1 for bouquet 1 and 2 for 2, etc?
          Please explain.

          2/ The parameter
          listmax: 10,
          is working, but after play or stop, it jumps to the bouquet name.

          3/ On my install, when I do DB-PLAY, it starts the stream twice.
          So, I have 2 omxplayer process-sets and it takes up 2 streams on my Dreambox.
          EDIT: now streaming Das Erste HD. No other process-sets present.
          Perhaps decoding takes to long and omxplayer is respawning.

          4/ Even though I have employer processes, I do not see anything on my screen.
          EDIT: now streaming Das Erste HD.
          I think I have a local issue, as I cannot stream decoded content anymore.
          My MPG2 license is still valid.
          Perhaps a performance issue.

            Example for observation/issue 3:

            DB-PLAY:

            pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
            pi        4190  4061  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4191  4190  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/omxplayer --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4214  4191  7 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4222  4061  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4223  4222  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/omxplayer --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4246  4223 13 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            

            After a few seconds and when the stream is visible on the screen:

            pi@MagicPi:~/MagicMirror/modules $ ps -eaf | grep omxplayer | grep -v grep
            pi        4190  4061  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh -c omxplayer  --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4191  4190  0 19:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/omxplayer --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:
            pi        4214  4191 10 19:31 ?        00:00:02 /usr/bin/omxplayer.bin --win 0,625,590,957 -o both http://192.168.178.28:8001/1:0:19:283D:3FB:1:C00000:0:0:0:

              here are some questions:
              to 1: apibouquet expects a number (integer) and in java it starts with 0. If i use the xml-sample file of /web/getallservices you send me its in your case as follows:
              0: Favourites (TV)
              1: Nederland (TV)
              2: Duitsland (TV)

              to 2: i cant reproduce this behavior

              to 3 & 4: try disabling some other modules, to find out if there is a intolerance beetween modules.

                to 1: thanks. Very clear.

                to 2: does not happen always, or too fast to detect (I did ps manually).

                to 3: did this, but does not help. I have think I have an issue that is related to my install only.

                Thanks for the changes. It makes it more usable.

                  @axled I want to give this module another try for some testing, but I still didn’t understand how am I supposed to stream a Dreambox channel in MM? :hushed_face:

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

                    @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

                    WHERE do I have to enter these commands?

                    In a RPI terminal window?
                    In my ie. Windows 10 Internet browser address box?

                      As you have MMM-Remote-Control installed you can test MMM-Dreambox with MMM-Remote-Control first, to make sure it works at all. (Requirement: Your mirror is reachable by browser in the same network). Open browser and enter (without the spaces around &):

                      • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-SERVICE-NEXT (for selecting next service)

                      • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-SERVICE-PREV (for selecting prev.service)

                      • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-PLAY (for start streaming)

                      • http://yourmmip:8080/remote?action=NOTIFICATION & notification=DB-STOP (for stop streaming)

                      Hint: HD Services need MPG License so maybe start with SD services.

                      You can also try the dev branch, as this is the newer one with more functions.

                        @axled thanks got the remote module working, but then when I send the commands (succesfully confirmed by the web page) I see no streaming going on in MM.

                        By the way I choosed to install the dev branch of your module.
