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

evroom

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:

@evroom
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.

AxLED

evroom

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?

AxLed

@Cr4z33
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.

AxLed

@Cr4z33
Can you show me the MMM-Dreambox Part of your config and some logs?

Playing does not work, is selecting DB-SERVICE-NEXT (PREV) working?

AxLED

Cr4z33

@axled this is the config part:

		{
			module: 'MMM-Dreambox',
			header: 'Vu+ Duo²',
			position: 'bottom_left',
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				apiBase: 'http://*.*.*.*:****',
				omxargs: ' --win 320,180,1600,900  -o both ',
				refreshInterval: 1000 * 30, //refresh every 30 seconds
				apiabout: '/web/about',
				apiservices: '/web/getallservices',
				apiepgnow: '/web/epgnow?bRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.favourites.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet',
				apizap: '/web/zap?sRef=',
				apiTimerlist: '/web/timerlist',
				apiServicelistplayable: '/web/servicelistplayable?sRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM%20BOUQUET%20%22userbouquet.favourites.tv%22%20ORDER%20BY%20bouquet'
				}
		},

I wanted then to paste here the logs and what was happening when sendings commands, but all I get now is

status	"error"
reason	"unknown_command"
info	"original input: {\"action\":\"NOTIFICATION \",\" notification\":\"DB-PLAY\"}"

I feel like I am missing something? :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

This is btw the MMM-Remote-Control config part:

		{
			module: 'MMM-Remote-Control',
			// uncomment the following line to show the URL of the remote control on the mirror
			position: 'bottom_left'
			// you can hide this module afterwards from the remote control itself
		},
