To activate the webservices, just enable the unicast mode with something like that:

unicast=1         : Activate the internal webserver
ip_http=127.0.0.1 : IP address for accepting the HTTP requests
port_http=8005    : Listening port

The webservices responses are not SOAP compliant, but formatted in simple XML documents (UTF-8). The output can be easily parsed in PHP for example.

2. Access to the CAM menu:

These two webservices allow for accessing the CAM menu during streaming. This is usefull for checking rights or download status for example.

The file cam_menu.php is a simple demonstration on how to use these webservices in order to make a web interface with AJAX compatible with the most important browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer).

For using it, you just need a webserver (lighttpd, apache, etc.) with PHP activated. The web page accept one GET parameter: port_server. This is the unicast port setup for accessing MuMuDVB webservices.

The CAM menu is refresded every 2 seconds and buttons can be used to navigate in the menus. MENU, LIST and ENQUIRY MMI objects are supported.

Case when the CAM isn’t initialized:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<menu>
        <datetime><![CDATA[Mon Nov  1 22:08:17 2010]]></datetime>  => Last update time/date
        <object><![CDATA[NONE]]></object>                          => No object to show
        <title><![CDATA[CAM not initialized!]]></title>            => Message about CAM not initialized
</menu>

Case when the CAM is initialized but there is no menu to display:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<menu>
        <datetime><![CDATA[Tue Nov  2 22:38:37 2010]]></datetime>       => Last update time/date
        <cammenustring><![CDATA[Aston Module 2.1800]]></cammenustring>  => CAM model
        <object><![CDATA[NONE]]></object>                               => No object to show
        <title><![CDATA[No menu to display]]></title>                   => Message about no menu to display
</menu>

Case when a object is send by the CAM to be displayed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<menu>
        <datetime><![CDATA[Tue Nov  2 22:39:58 2010]]></datetime>       => When the object was received
        <cammenustring><![CDATA[Aston Module 2.1800]]></cammenustring>  => CAM model
        <object><![CDATA[MENU]]></object>                               => Object: "MENU", "LIST" or "ENQUIRY"
        <title><![CDATA[Module Aston]]></title>                         => Object title
        <subtitle><![CDATA[Carte num ro 544.193.724]]></subtitle>       => Object subtitle (when an "ENQUIRY" object is display, show the number of characters expected in the answer)
        <item num="0"><![CDATA[Return]]></item>                         => For "MENU" and "LIST" objects, contain the lines of information or the items to be choosen. The "num" attribute correspond to the key to press to choose the item.
        <item num="1"><![CDATA[Consultation des droits]]></item>
        <item num="2"><![CDATA[R glages]]></item>
        <item num="3"><![CDATA[Information]]></item>
        <bottom><![CDATA[Votre choix, svp]]></bottom>                   => Object bottom line
</menu>
  • Second webservice allows for sending response to the CAM. There is one integer GET paramter: key. Possible keys: 0 to 9 (numbers), M for asking the CAM menu, C for cancelling an ENQUIRY object. URL : http://ip_http:port_http/cam/action.xml?key=X There are 4 king of responses.
