so… there is a new problem, after i resolved the eventtitle request:
the output have to be in utf8, because of some special character. so i have changed all ‘ASCII’ to ‘utf8’.
now, there is no error, but the card isn’t shown anymore

I absolute cant get through it… 
Thanks!
I shoved it in /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/custom_components/media_player
and renamed it to enigma.py
Now it seems to work for me

A small thing:
I there a way to change the device name?
I tried:
platform: enigma name: Dreambox host: 19.10.187.10 port: 23 username: user password: passw
But that seem to have no effect…
(btw. I dont know why these damn code formattings doesnt work properly … 
)
Try this new:
If you provide "name: " it will use it.
If not, it will use MODEL from device.
If model not provided, it will use default name “Enigma2 Satelite”

Is it even newer than the last one you posted?
I tried using name: but it unregular switched between device model and device name:
My workaround till now is to set the name via cusomization.
Seems to work for now
It would be really great if you could include Play-Pause button. Would like to pause when my phone rings…
This is working great! Thanks!
Another feature request for this component: the select source service could be used to display the selected channel number.
I want to use this function for a special trick: by choosing an unused channel I would like to change my avr source because I’m missing this function on the dreambox remote…
I’m not sure I understand what you want to achieve? On my e2 box, choosing an unused channel acts as a panic and takes me back to the first channel (you can turn this off) but I’m not sure how this would help with the AVR source. If you tell me what you want to do, I could probably script a call. I’ve got a few scripted calls to my e2 box, including a full reboot to make it easier for the family to restart if it ever crashes (it does sometimes!)
do you want a sensor in HA that shows the active E2 channel?
If the sensor would detect the active channel on in dreambox i could use it in Ha. e.g. when i switch to channel 666 i could change the source of AVR, with switching channel 777 i could fade down lights or whatever…
In IOBroker there is a enigma-plugin that can display msg on screen… thats a very nice feature, too.
ok, so the only challenge is channel numbers. This isn’t something E2 offers so easily, however I can easily get you a sensor that gets the channel name or service Id, e.g.
Sensor
Create a shell script like the below, changing the <IP> and perhaps the paths if you want.
You might need to install xmllint which allows you to xpath parse an xml response
#!/bin/bash
wget --no-check-certificate -O /tmp/e2.xml -o /tmp/e2.log http://<IP>/web/subservices
xmllint --xpath "//*[local-name()='e2servicename']/text()" /tmp/e2.xml
#xmllint --xpath "//*[local-name()='e2servicereference']/text()" /tmp/e2.xml
Then once you’ve done that, add a command line sensor to your config, e.g.
sensor:
- platform: command_line
name: E2 Channel
command: '/bin/bash -c "<PATH TO SCRIPT>"'
The example above returns channel name, switch the comment in the shell script to get the service reference if you want that instead
Messages
Messages are easy also, you can drive this from a command shell/script - create another shell script using wget like in the example above, but call something like:
http://<IP>/web/message?text=This+is+a+test&type=3&timeout=10
In this scenario - you can drop the xmllint call as you won’t care about the response.

Can you access this site: " http://IPofE2/web/powerstate " ?
yes it returns the following

Should I allow some service on my box? OpenWebif work nicely…
I had some free time today, so I looked closer on enigma.py script. I have found out that here was no support for HTTP auth. I am not the python programmer, actualy this was my first time 
Well I have no idea if it is the best practice, but I put these five lines at end of init method and now it works:
password_mgr = urllib.request.HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm() password_mgr.add_password(None, host, username, password) handler = urllib.request.HTTPBasicAuthHandler(password_mgr) opener = urllib.request.build_opener(handler) urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
But I still have some problems with empty Source select box.
