Vu+ Integration

Feature Requests
1

I would appreciate integration of vu+ linux media player (see http://www.vuplus.de/)

Thanks!

2

This can be done with the Webinterface API for Enigma2 receivers. This will also work for all Enigma2 based receivers such as Dreambox, Golden Interstar, VU+,…

Hi guys,

Is anyone working or already been able to implement enigma2.

5

like this yes!

Feel free to test.
Add the file to: /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components/media_player/
enigma.py

Add this to your config file:
media_player:

  • platform: enigma
    host: 192.168.xxx.xxx <- IP of your SAT
    port: 23
    username: xxxxxxx <- user name to telnet
    password: yyyyyyy <- password to telnet

and why did you use telnet?
webrequests can be done locally or?
wget -q -O - http://< ip_from_satbox >/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/{print $3}’ | head -1’

greets,

What’s model of Enigma2 SAT do you have?
As I can see, it is using BusyBox v1.23.2 and maybe thats the problem.
Try to login with telnet and use this command:
wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/{print $3}’

VU+ Solo²
root@vusolo2:~# wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/’ | head

true

root@vusolo2:~# wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/{print $3}’

empty output

P.S. I’m not python guru. :frowning: If you can help with local web-request, feel free to modify the file.

try this: wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/’ | tail

12

root@vusolo2:~# wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/’ | tail
< e2instandby >
true < /e2instandby >

i’m also not a python guru :wink:

13

what have to be the value of this request? so i can test it myself

14

This: wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate
will give the full XML of powerstate
You need to parse the: true (if enigma is in standby, or false if not)

All the other command vice-versa.

Post please the full XML

15
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

< e2powerstate>
< e2instandby>
true < /e2instandby>
< /e2powerstate>

16

wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/{print $1}’ >> Result:
empty line
true

with:
wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘/e2instandby/{print $1}’ | tail -n 1
true

so i thing, thats the correct line

17

YES, or this:
wget -q -O - http://127.0.0.1/web/powerstate | awk -F ‘[<>]’ ‘//e2instandby/{print $1}’

18

i will change all the lines and give it a new try :slight_smile:

19

Check all the full XML and correct awk. Good luck :smiley:
