I use this:

pi@MagicPi:~ $ grep rotate /boot/config.txt
display_hdmi_rotate=3

The number can be different depending on how you turn it.
I have the bottom on the left side, if you understand what I mean.
Turned it clockwise.
When turning, take care of the viewing angle.
My monitor has a rather poor viewing angle, especially from the bottom, so now on my left.
I need to look at the Mirror frontal or from the right (not too much though).
But luckily this setup works for me.
I did not purchase a IPS panel, as it uses more power than regular TFT, having it turned on for several hours a day.

There was a new thread in the last days, explaining how to do it via css, but personally did not try it yet.

@cr4z33 said in [MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer:

but honestly I don’t want to change to default port.

I just tested port 137.
Works just fine.
As expected, but you never know.

@Cr4z33
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.

@cr4z33 said in [MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer:

Adding --genlog apparently does generate no log.

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).

I posted this in another thread too.

Hi,

For beginners, the catchphrase is “JSON syntax”.
There are many articles to be found, both short and lengthy.
A small article would be:
https://restfulapi.net/json-syntax/

The main things to look for in your config.js file are:

• does every [ have a matching ]
• are all arrays separated by a , (the last array does not need a ,)
• does every { have a matching }
• are all objects separated by a , (the last object does not need a ,)
• is every name value pair separated by a ,

The syntax checker will try to find out if this syntax is correct and tries to predict where the error could be.
So, when it says it saw a [ and it cannot find a matching ] it tells you what was expected and what it saw.

Try to format you config.js to make it more visible.
For example this:

[{},{}],[{},{[]}]

is better written like this:

[
  {},
  {}
],
[
  {
  },
  {
    [
    ]
  }
]

Pairs of [ ]and { } are better visible like this.

Good luck :-)

@Cr4z33

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.

@cr4z33 said in [MMM-Dreambox] to connect a Dreambox or a Enigma2 Receiver (like VU or VU+) to MagicMirror and stream stations via omxplayer:

I ran the update and now I get continuous PLAY without interruption,

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.

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

catching error if you want to DB-PLAY before selecting a channel: MM shows notification that no channel is selected

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 ?

The rest is working as designed.

@dcarls91 said in I am stuck need help:

Thank you all for your help, after a long day yesterday i was able to get it up and running.

You see, we knew you could do it !! :-)
Congratulations.
