Telenet Digicorder -- ziggo mediabox interface?

Would love to have the same integration as media player for the Belgium Telenet Digicorder. Seems like it is using the same hardware as the Ziggo Mediabox XL / next.

Hope more people are interested in this one.
If any developer needs more info or a tester, I’m in of course!

Thanks guys,
Fred.

Hi Fred, I created a component for the next…
Can you use that one?

Maybe you have to change the urls in the component?

Did some quick check how they do stuff @ telenet.

Host should be like: www.telenettv.be on port 443 (SSL)
Session/token: https://login.prd.telenet.be/openid/login

no idea how to split up session and token :frowning:
I’ll try to contact telenet forum for this one…

Thanks for the advice already Rudolf!

@fdumarey Sounds great. Is there any news about this?

Hi, Were you able to use the component?

No, unfortunately not.
Telenet is blocking this one for the moment.

Hi fdumarey,
I’m in the same boat I guess, Telenet BE. I have no experience with HA however but would be interested to see what I can get going.

Could you let me know what / how you tested? How would you use port 443? Would you send commands to your setop-box or to Telenet’s mijn.telenet.be?

Thanks for clarifying!

Don’t worry Erwin.
Telenet won’t help us here. So at this moment (and I think lifetime) forget an integration with Telenet and HA. :zipper_mouth_face:

Telenet flow an option?
I moved away from orange decoder to tv vlaanderen app light
Now i can integrate with HA

Hi @fdumarey do you have the arris box?

Telenet seems to be using the Arris box indeed.
I have the TV-Box: Arris DCX960
If you want me to try something out, I’m your man :star_struck:

Did you install the latest version of my component in HACS?
Please join me on discord, so we can investigate any further…

Hello Rudolf, thanks for the tip. Wasn’t aware of a new version.
Just to give you a status:

  • installed HACS in my HA container
  • configured HACS and installed the Arris DCX960 integration

Now restarted HA Server, but have to wait since to many API calls to Github :frowning:
I will keep you posted tomorrow evening…

Hello there,
Had some time this morning since we won 1 hour :yum:
Next steps:

  • HACS status is operational
  • installed Arris DCX960 integration in HA Integrations using username, password, and chose Telenet BE

All works fine now:

Thanks a lot Rudolf !!! You made me a lucky guy today :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

You’re welcome! Enjoy the new week m8!

Hmmzz Telenet credentials not accepted during config. Must be doing something wrong. Or maybe not for my digicorder box?

Not sure if the Digicorder is supported, I could try it out this weekend.
My TV box got connected without any issues.
login & passw are the same as the telenet tv app login / main telenet website.

I can’t get it to work. I have the Telenet Belgium mediabox. Via HACS I installed the Arris component. When I try to login, it always says ‘can’t connect’. I’m sure I’m using the correct credentials.
The only different might be that I’m connected to the preproduction network of Telenet. But based upon the configuration, it seems to be supported. Any idea how to proceed with this?
Thanks.

Can you confirm the model of the telenet device?
Home → settings - info - technische informatie -Hardwareversie.

it should say: ARRIS-DCX960-MPA+ (thats what mine says anyways…)

Yes, exactly the same (ARRIS-DCX960-MPA+).
I tried again after some days. Still the same error ‘can’t connect’.
