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

@axled sorry for the late reply. :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

I’ve installed your module from scratch and now every MMM-Remote-Control command (but streaming) is working.

Honestly I can’t understand what is wrong because before going to use my decoder with your module all Dreambox-like applications worked like a charm.

What if it depends on using a different WebIf port (I am not using the default 80/8080 port)?
And even if why not?
So far every Android Dreambox app (ie. DreamDroid) or Windows channel editor program for Dreambox that I’ve used worked perfectly.

AxLed

Some ideas:
Start streaming takes up to 15 seconds, did you wait long enough?
Are you streaming SD or HD channels? HD needs mpg license.
Is the play symbol (triangle) shown after sending the command DB-PLAY?

@evroom can you please let me chat with you?

Need to ask you something about this module. :)

Okay, now I understand your request better.
Unchecked it, should be working now.

Looks like it does not work VU+ boxes.
I used the latest master branch (installed the complete module new).
All api paths have been checked and return xml data.

Nothing is seen on the Mirror.

@evroom that’s EXACTLY what happens on my mirror as an owner of a Vu+ product.

@AxLed can you please look into this? :)

AxLed

@Cr4z33

Can you please post your config for MMM-Dreambox (as i guess there are two problems):

at least one of your links are wrong or VU+ uses different syntax (for the xml links)
i think node_helper.js line 129 is wrong in my code, i cant correct it without testing (error.code is null and my code expects an value)

apiBase: 
omxargs:
refreshInterval: 
apiabout: 
apiservices: 
apiepgnow:
apizap:

apiServicelistplayable:
apibouquet: 0, //bouquet, if there is more than one under apiservices (/web/getallservices), important apiepgnow and apiServicelistplayable have to match to the selected bouquet

Hi AxLed,

Here is my VU+ config:

{
module: 'MMM-Dreambox',
disabled: false,
position:"top_left",
header: 'Dreambox',
config: {
  apiBase: 'http://192.168.178.47:80',
  omxargs: ' --win 0,625,590,957 -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',
  apibouquet: 0,
  listmax: 10,
}
},

To be honest, I do not see any difference between a Dreambox and a VU Plus, in fact the bRef and sRef are exactly the same and even the same as in the README.
But if you say there is a difference …

If the line 129 needs modifying, I can do so by hand.
Perhaps will save you some time.

And could you tell us if you tested on a VU+ or on a Dreambox (or both) ?

AxLed

@evroom
To answer your questions:

i tested on a dreambox (dm800se) with a single dvb-c tuner
modifying line 129 could help, i need the output of ‘error’ and ‘response’, as i only check for ‘error’ (true/false) and only for response.Statuscode 200 and 404.

I have some questions too:

if you enter http://192.168.178.47:80/web/servicelistplayable?sRef=1%3A7%3A1%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3A0%3AFROM BOUQUET "userbouquet.favourites.tv" ORDER BY bouquet in you browser, is there xml showing up?
if not, what else is shown?
the xml files you send me on 29th of december, where they from your dreambox or from VU+?
if the were from the dreambox, can you please send me the following file from your VU+ by email ak10zeichen-xy@yahoo.de :

http://192.168.178.47:80/web/getallservices

So i can check what is going wrong.

AxLED

@AxLed

Yes, now I remember that you used a dm800se.
And then it was you who explained me how to post xml data in this forum (which I forgot again).

The xml files from December were from a Dreambox.
Perhaps you mean that the syntax of the xml data is different, not the syntax in the config file.
Then I understand.

The servicelistplayable URL return xml data, as do all /web/ calls.

The getallservices xml data will arrive by mail in a minute.

AxLed

@evroom
Thanks for the files, i tested with your files, but i am getting a different error:
Your error (some topics above): Problem at servicelistplayable
My error (with your VU xml files): Problem in MMM-Dreambox.js at line 387, where the timerlist expects a value. I can fix this error, somehow my code expects at least one timer.

Can you please tell me, at which point/line of code you get an error?
If your error is in MMM-Dreambox.js at line 387 can you try to add one timer in the future an test again?

AxLED

evroom

@AxLed
Sent you a timer list.

The last time I checked, the error pointed to line 129.

Unfortunately my DLAN adaptor died where my MagicMirror and other devices are connected.
When it works again, I can answer the other questions.

AxLed

@evroom
So i can fix the handling of an “empty” timerlist meanwhile, but this will take until the end of the week.

I am looking forward to hear from you if your DLAN adoptor is back online.

AxLED

evroom

@AxLed

Just sent you pm2 logs output.
There is a lot more than I initialy placed on the forum.
I thought all errors were the same, but the node_helper.js line differ.

Cr4z33

@axled sorry for replaying late again, but I always work at night. :winking_face:

Do you still need my config or are you already done?

AxLed

@Cr4z33
I got some testfiles for VU+ from Evroom and i have to do some modification and testing to the module within the next days.
AxLED

Cr4z33

@axled alright. :thumbs_up_medium-light_skin_tone:

AxLed

@evroom

I did some bugfixing:

bugfixing in error response (node_helper.js)
bugfix in handling timerlist if empty (MMM-Dreambox.js)

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

Tell me what happens now, if you try to connect to VU+ receiver.
Regards

AxLED
