Dreambox-TV & Dbox2-TV Control Interface

hi.

while running img version 1.08-> the script (v0.28) can't fetch anything from dreambox. in newer img the webinterface is build arround frames and the only data fetched from db is the frames index file. so when the script depends on the information from the main html page and don't get it .. the script won't work.

@->geminiserver.. nice w.i.p.
i have a code example how to fetch apid+vpid witch don't need the html index file from db.

Quote:pids = urllib.urlopen(url+'/control/zapto?getpids')
dec_vpid = pids.readline()
dec_apid = pids.readline()
pids.close()

vpid = hex(int(dec_vpid))[2:]
apid = hex(int(dec_apid))[2:]

also if you use

Quote:url+'/body'

you will get the bouquetrefs, channel and channelrefs on newer img's and go arround the "frames" problem.

thanks again geminiserver for your nice work.

@geminiserver

the only problem im having at the moment is that no bouquets or channel lists come up when i select it. can u put up your bouquet files or something or does the script retrieve it from the dreambox each time its started? i know the recording is in alpha stage but when it does work its great. i've been holding out on buying a harddrive for my dreambox and was planning to get one for the xbox, so thanks to you all my problems will be solved.

i have the same problem, i get no channel list, and screenshots don´t work, too.

the stream selb only ork the first time, when i uses it one time, i need to delete all the tmp files of the skript, to get it work agian.

i have no config.ini, do i need one ?

where should i add the code from the quote and what should be removed.

still don't know where to put it...

hi!
i need to know which http interface you are using!
also i want see the xmbc.log file..

and for all dreambox user who can make screenshots but no bouquets and channels.. show me this file on dreambox:

Quote:/share/tuxbox/enigma/htdocs/zapdata.js

it must be the same like this one!

Quote:var channels = new array();
var channelrefs = new array();
var bouquets = new array(
#bouquets#
);
var bouquetrefs = new array(
#bouquetrefs#
);
var currentbouquet = #currentbouquet#;
var currentchannel = #currentchannel#;

function init()
{
#channels#
#channelrefs#

loadbouquets(currentbouquet);
loadchannels(currentbouquet, currentchannel);
}

in the official image releses you are not able to edit this file! so show me this file.. so i can patch the script!

to all other people! you must actived the port 80 on the dreambox settings.. also you need to know the login and the pw..

the temp folder is not a simple temp folder.. i just called it temp folder.. if you delete the files there will be createt again!

config.ini.. there is no config.ini includet in this release.. you also don't need to set that one.. damm! can't you read!!! so please don't ask about settings which are w.i.p!


@bulldog64
yes you are right.. and i know this feature.. but i won't use that one.. for the future release there will be a audio stream switch, that means.. i need to read all pid's and all settings! but it is very good for a test script!

@all
and again! you are all welcome to help to develope a script that works on all dreamboxes.. also try to find where the problems can be.. it don't help to write.. it won't work on my dreambox..


btw: there are so many dreambox images availible.. and everybody put's his part in it..

regards
geminiserver

@geminiserver:

here is a part of the xbmc-log that i have.
i hope this can help you.

jepp! in firmware [image] 1.08, there is a new implementation in the webinterface! i don't use the new image 1.08! but i add it to test and look whats going wrong!

dreambox-tv 0.28 is not able to receive from img. 1.08 the bouquet and channellist! also it ist not possible to make screenshots.. lcdshot, etc.

v0.28 need some tweaks.. to get the channel and bouquet list! like the /body add.on to url.

the problem is that the scipt or in future the implementation into xbmc, coould not be changed every time while dreambox cvs making evertime changes on their web interface!

the best gole ist to implement into dreambox a data push url..like http://dreamip/external. this should be then more effective also for other developper to make a controll apps.

if some one reading this and he/she is in cvs group for dreambox images.. please contact me, to make web interface for external apps. it is very simple to implement the function into cvs from dreambox..

i'll look webserver function from dreambox and try to add. an interface primarly. i know there are loots information to get. but the big problem is the bouquets and channels.. there no /getallbouquest.. or /getallbouquest and channel.. why: we need a solution, which will holt longer . after this, we don't need to update all things again if there will relese another img with other changes..

what do you all think about this!

@geminiserver

why not try another approach and fetch the bouquet/channel files with ftp?
the native bouquet/channel files have not changed so much as the webinterface. the userbouquet.****.** files in /var/tuxbox/config/enigma/ are plain txt files and can easely be processed.
