[driver] SMT C7400 / SMT C7401 / Ziggo Mediabox XL

UPDATE: 17/02/2019

Implemented 2 features of the new SDK version (0.53.8) and 4 new buttons of the remote (which can be found on the back)

  • registerFavoriteHandlers()
    This allows a device that supports favorites (only TV, DVB or TUNER) to implement a custom handler, for example for channel "42", rather than 2 buttonHandler calls for "4" and "2", a single call with "42" will be made to the favoriteHandler.
    After the favorite is chosen, the favorite is sent to the Mediabox, including an ENTER key. This speeds up channel hopping considerably.
  • setDriverVersion(version)
    Setting the version allows you to tell the Brain about changes to your devices components. If you for example add new buttons to a device, you can increase the version and this will let the Brain know to fetch the new components (NOTE: the Brain will only add new components, updating or removing old components is not supported).
    This was needed for registering the favorites handler and the new color buttons support.
  • .addButtonGroup('Color Buttons')
    Implemenents the 4 colored buttons on the back of the remote. Since no other implementation on the web for the Ziggo Horizon box has this, i am not sure if anybody IS going to use these. This means; if they screw up the interface to much i might even remove them in a future update.

UPDATE: 14/02/2019

I've restructured my code to move to the neeo-cli way of running this driver; more information and the new code can be found on GitHub. It looks like it 'works on my machine'.

Next step is trying to see if i can emulate the keyboard on the back, but i can't promise anything there. Basically i have already implemented all keys which can be found on various forums and implementing other keys is guesswork. I did find the codes for the color buttons green/red/blue/yellow on the back of the remote, so it does seem that more keys CAN be sent which no other implementation (Homey/OpenHAB/Domoticz) currently supports.

Original post:

The Dutch television provider Ziggo issues a so called 'Mediabox XL'. At the time of writing, this is either an SMT C7400 or an SMT C7401. Both devices don't have a discrete power on and power off command making them 'dumb devices' for Neeo.

Note: I have been mixed feelings with how Neeo handles dumb devices. Personally i think the current way how this is implemented means the remote is unusable for our partners and (small) kids, especially if they are non-native English like mine. I really hope Neeo will take the feedback of all beta testers and current active users into consideration and change/prioritize this.

With that said, i'll now focus in this topic on trying to make the Ziggo Mediabox XL 'smart', since that is something Neeo wants us to do, and which they have provided the Neeo SDK for. More information on the SDK and other drivers being developed, can be found here.

I've investigated online and came across some reading material which should make it possible to create my own 'driver', including discrete power handling so the device is no longer seen as a dumb device and basically solve 'my' problems for now.

Reading material used:

Basically i will be combining the best of the above in creating the Neeo driver.

  • Besides a digital recorder, the Ziggo Mediabox XL is also a fully featured media player. Do you use the Ziggo Mediabox XL for television only and have a separate modem for the internet? Then you need to follow step 1 and step 2. Do you use your Ziggo Mediabox XL for both television and internet? Then you can get start at step step 2. In order for this driver to work, you would need to make sure both steps are completed.

    Step 1. Connect to your home network (Dutch instructions).

    Your Ziggo Mediabox XL should be connected to your home network. I would advise to connect with a network cable, but connection using WiFi follows almost the same steps outlined below. It is pretty self-explanatory.

    1. Press Menu on the Ziggo Mediabox XL remote.
    2. Select Opties.
    3. Select Mijn Thuisnetwerk and press OK.
    4. Select Instellen Thuisnetwerk and press OK.
    5. Select Op het modem and press OK.
    6. Connect the Ziggo Mediabox XL with a network cable to your modem.
    7. Select Netwerkkabel and press OK.
    8. The Ziggo Mediabox XL has to reboot now.

    2. Make sure you are sharing your media library (Dutch instructions).

    Now that your box is connected to your home network, you need to enable the embedded XBMC client inside the Ziggo Mediabox XL. This is an essential part for the driver, since XBMC is only running when your box is on, thus we can check to see if XBMC is reachable, meaning your box is on.

    1. Press Menu on the Ziggo Mediabox XL remote.
    2. Select Opties
    3. Select Mijn Thuisnetwerk and press OK.
    4. Select Instellen Thuisnetwerk and press OK.
    5. Select Ja and press OK
    6. Accept the Algemene voorwaarden
    7. The media library can be found through Mijn Media in the main menu of your Ziggo Mediabox XL.

    The Ziggo Mediabox XL is now going to index your personal media, but only if it is exposed on your home network via DLNA. This may take a while depending on the amount of files. If you don't have any DLNA servers that is ok, we just need this XBMC server to 'be online'.

  • Assuming you have connected your Ziggo Mediabox XL  to your home network, figure out the IP of the box and preferably use DHCP on your router to give it a static DHCP address.

    Open a web-browser, type in the IP address and hit enter.

    A login page should appear (if not, tripple check Mijn Thuisnetwerk settings and try again).

    Login with admin/admin (yes.. very secure indeed).

    Click on Basis, followed by Thuisnetwerk. You should see a page like this. You can verify here that your horizon is connected to your home network.

    Then click Local Area Network where you can see your IP, the main MAC address of the Ziggo Mediabox XL and the DHCP-poolsize that the Ziggo Mediabox XL has claimed from your router (yes.. 19 IP addresses)

    In my particular case, i was interested in the last IP address, 192.168.1.143, this is hosting the media server when the box is powered on. You can figure this out by looking at the MAC address of your Mediabox XL (blurred in above pics) and see which other IP has almost the same MAC address in your router reservation table. In my case, only the last 2 digits of the MAC address where different. But that will be used later.

    Turn off the WiFi networks

    By default, the Ziggo Mediabox XL exposes 2 WiFi networks, one on 5 GHz and one on 2.4 GHz. Since i have my own router with 4 WiFi networks already (private/guest, both on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) AND i don't want other people to piggy back on my bandwidth, i have chosen to disable the WiFi networks on the Ziggo Mediabox XL.

    According to a different site, you should start with disabling the 5 GHz network. So first click Draadloos, followed by 5 GHz and then Radio. Change the dropdown to Uitgeschakeld and press Opslaan.

     Then follow the same steps for the 2.4 GHz network, like shown below.

     That should be it!

  • Another day, and a few hours in on the project...

    One of the big challenges is, that the Ziggo Mediabox XL gets a dynamic IP from your router (in case you have your own separate router). Even if you configure your router to assign a static IP address, based on the MAC address of the Mediabox XL, it will not get that IP.

    The first IP mentioned in the screenshots above is that of the 'main' client which is also hosting the management interface. This client reserves IPs from your router and hands out those IPs to other services inside the box, like the Mediabox XL itself. This way, the Mediabox XL never asks for an IP on your router (e.g. the IP we would need), since it already got one from the 'main' client. I've banged my head into the wall several times before i found this out.

    So how do you get your Mediabox IP then?

    Turn on your Ziggo Mediabox XL and press the following options on the remote:
    Menu

    • Opties, followed by OK.
    • Mijn Thuisnetwerk, followed by OK.
    • Status Thuisnetwerk (LAN), followed by OK.

    Isn't there an easier other way to get a fixed IP?

    In the end, i've set my mediabox to a static IP (which is possible by following these Dutch instructions) to prevent the box from claiming IP in my neatly organised static IP table. It is a pain in the ass to setup, since you need to connect a network cable between your mediabox and your PC etc. etc. steps i am not going to repeat here, just Google translate the Dutch instructions.

    Long story short; my horizon now has a fixed IP of 192.168.1.115 (which is the main client), i've disabled the DHCP server, decreased the DHCP-poolsize to 5, set the DHCP-lease to 86400 seconds (which is a day) and changed the DNS servers on the mediabox to Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). The local addresses it claims start at 192.168.1.250 which is the IP i need. So in my case, it is 192.168.1.250 which i would need.

    All is not lost, since I've come to save the day!

    After I've set this up, I knew this wasn't going to work for the most of you guys, so i decided to look further. Then i saw that, when my Mediabox was on, it advertised itself in Windows Explorer so it had to do some sort of DLNA broadcast.

    I am proud to announce that I have found a way to do a 'auto-mediabox-ip-detection' using the Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) which no other Ziggo Driver mentioned above currently has implemented.

    It works if the mediabox is on and with the mediabox turned off, it constantly finds out the right IP. So contrary to the drivers above, my driver has zero manual configuration and works even if your media box gets a different IP on your network (I am 99% certain :-p).

    I am not going to revert my static IP changes for now, since i really like the changes I've done (e.g. the 192.168.1.250 address) so now i can continue hacking! When the driver is finished, i will revert to see if my script is dummy proof.

  • Just received my NEEO today! First thing I did was looking for Horizon driver and found this page. Awesome project! The only thing... I am not that technical. So before spending hours on diving into the SDK and so on; is there an easy way to get this driver on my NEEO? Any help would be appreciated :) I have the SMT G7401.

    • Update: Got it working! Actually learned quite a lot this evening :D. Unfortunately, Horizon / Ziggo support and functionality is totally crap. I don't have the Horizon connected via LAN, because I can't (only COAX at the spot where the horizon is placed.) And homenetwork setup doesn't work over WIFI due to a bug which is already there for nearly a year :-( 

      I guess there are other ways to make this device smart right? (Since the remote is working via RF)

    • Kephas Busink you can try to find any iR command that turns on the horizon box (other than power toggle). If you found one or more iR command that turn on the box then let it know, the driver team can then make it smart.

    • Jorgen Behrens Just like Markus Mahr mentioned, you need to be able to 'host' the code somewhere on your network. This can be a NAS, raspberry pi or equivalent which should be on 24/7 and capable of running NodeJS.

  • I've managed to install Node.js v9.0.0 on a Raspberry Pi. How can I install the ziggo-horizon package on it? Sorry for my ignorance...

    • Jorgen Behrens no worries, you are just 'the first' to ask :)

      This reply contains important information, for the followers of this thread, right at the end.

      Initial setup:

      The Pi should be connected to the same network, I don't know (haven't tested) if you can use any combination of LAN v.s. wifi, e.g.

      • Box (WiFi) - Pi (LAN)
      • Box (LAN) - Pi (WiFi)
      • I am assuming it should work, but best results are when both the box and Pi are wired (LAN)

      Login to your Raspberry Pi (as user Pi, root is not needed yet) and go to any directory where you would like to install the ziggo-horizon module. I have installed mine in /opt; so here are the commands. 

      cd /opt

      If you have wget installed: 

      wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/Webunity/ziggo-horizon/archive/master.tar.gz -O - | tar -xz

      (or) if you have curl installed: 

      curl --insecure -L https://github.com/Webunity/ziggo-horizon/archive/master.tar.gz | tar -xz

      This would create a directory called 'ziggo-horizon'. 

      cd ziggo-horizon
npm install

      and you should be able to run it with: 

      node ./index.js

      Have it run automagically at boot:

      If this works and you would like to have this run on boot automagically, you do this: 

      sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ziggo-horizon.service

      Paste the following contents in that file 

      [Unit]
Description=This service runs the Ziggo Horizon service
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/bin/bash /opt/scripts/se-nat.sh
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
KillMode=control-group
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

      p.s. if you are NOT running Raspbian, then KillMode should be set to 'KillMode=process'.

      Then to enable and start the service, do this: 

      sudo systemctl enable ziggo-horizon
sudo systemctl start ziggo-horizon

      A reboot should also restart the ziggo-horizon service, after network comes up and it should automatically restart the controller once the driver crashes.

      There are currently 2 limitations to this script which i will probably fix when i have time:

      1. If your Ziggo Horizon Box is not online while starting the main script, it will try to search for 15 seconds and then exit the driver. This one is solved by the "Restart=Always" directive in the service, since that now just restarts the service. A nicer method should be implemented in the code, in order to remove the dependency on "systemctl".
      2. If your Ziggo Horizon Box reboots, or looses power, i am assuming that the driver will stop functioning. There is no fail safe yet built in for this.

      My current ideas are that the controller should in fact inherit from the eventemitter and let the controller signal the main index.js when it is 'disconnected', so the new discovery process can start again.

  • Jorgen Behrens and Loic please check out the new code on Github, it has almost been a complete rewrite with now support for:

    • Static IP (or SSDP, you can choose)
    • Better SSDP detection*
    • Localisation
    • Auto-reconnect (w00t!)

    You might need to remove the driver and re-add it (since i changed some naming to better reflect UPC/Ziggo in the names) but that only has to be done this time, i promise :)

    Check out the WIKI i have created for my driver.

    I would love to see a code review or some sort from for example Niels de Klerk

    Nerd info: besides the right 'user agent' header it now also downloads the XML associated with the found record, parses it and looks for the right model numbers inside that XML. I might need to tweak it for Swiss boxes, but i don't own a Swiss box, so i have to rely on you guys.

      I’d really love to test. Unfortunately, my Horizon box can’t connect to the local network. I only have coax at the place where the Horizon box is located and there is a long-time bug that doesn’t allow the Horizon to connect to WiFi. Maybe switching over to POE or waiting for NEEO to support HDMI-CEC for the Horizon box.

      you should indeed do:

      sudo -i on your raspberry pi to become root

      rm -rf /opt/ziggo-horizon/node_modules/

      cd /opt/ziggo-horizon

      npm install

      You could also check permissions, it might be that some files are owned by root and some by 'pi'.

      The static IP can be configured in ./config/default.json as well as the translations.

  • Gilles van den Hoven I will take a closer look into your Driver, later up. Thanks for tagging me and Inform me about that!

    If you are ok with some stealing of code, maybe i implement some parts into my enigma Driver (manly interessted in the Autoconnect) I also will then Link you in the Readme!

  • Gilles van den Hoven  works flawless with the swiss UPC box.

    SSDP discovery works now out of the box, finding the right device on my double network setup.

    I ditched my fork and cloned just your repo, without even changing the config.

    Thanks a lot for your work.

    When the box is off it does not answer and this makes the driver crash it looks like ?

    • Loic Sorry for the late reply; few questions:
      - What do you mean with 'off' do you mean 'no power' (e.g. power cable unplugged) or 'standby'? - In case you mean 'standby'; what is your energy profile you are using in your box so i can try to reproduce it?
      - Are you running the latest version of the driver (via Github?)

    • Gilles van den Hoven Thanks a lot and sorry for my late reply as I was travelling. I applied your latest code. I will report back results :) Normally my box is in the less power saving mode available but I will check since some of my settings keep on being lost ... for exemple there is a favorites mode where only selected channels appears but the box randomly goes back to the "normal" mode which is a real pain since channels numbers are different between these two modes ! Meaning that every time this happens my need favorites icons don t work any more ... I did not find a command to activate it easlyly on top. it is a sequence of enter, down, down, down, down, down, enter, back ... I tried to script this sequence in your driver but I assume it sends the commands too fast, does not seem to work. For reference my very simple addition looks like :        toggleFavoritesMode() {
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_ENTER'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_DOWN'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_DOWN'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_DOWN'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_DOWN'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_DOWN'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['CURSOR_ENTER'] ]);
                      this.addCommands([ buttonMapping['BACK'] ]);
              }
      + corresponding mappings. The button appears well and pressing on it does something, but not what I expect :) If you have a better way to toggle this Favorites mode that would be fantastic !

    • Loic i´ve got the same problems with restarting script under Debian and solved it for me with changing MIN_UPTIME to 10000 and SPIN_SLEEP_TIME to 100 in init.d Script.

    •   Loic In order to see what goes wrong you can try:
      > export DEBUG=ziggo-horizon:*
      > node index.js

      Keep the terminal open and wait for it to crash. This will print a shitload of debug messages which might help to see where the issue occurs.

    • Loic by looking at the code i saw that i did not handle the ECONNRESET error at all. This should now trigger not only a reconnect (if i catch it correctly) but also any other errors should be printed via the DEBUG method.

      I changed that in this commit: https://github.com/Webunity/ziggo-horizon/commit/dddf1ad994768b641c9a05cfc1fee932f51af762

      But i made an additional commit of which i am not sure it would work at all (some refactoring); i need to test that at home first but you might want to use that bleeding edge version: https://github.com/Webunity/ziggo-horizon/commit/e290fe10ac3a3ceabbbcb0c2c1bb02963ef2b86d

      Btw the init.d script you provide as an exemple is missing the --workingDir directive to start forever so as is it does not take any config into account and uses default ;)

      The start() should be something like 

              forever           --pidFile $PIDFILE           -a           -l $LOGFILE           --workingDir $APPLICATION_DIR           --minUptime $MIN_UPTIME           --spinSleepTime $SPIN_SLEEP_TIME           start $APPLICATION_PATH 2>&1 > /dev/null &
        RETVAL=$?

       

      Thanks!

  • Hi,

    your driver works so far wonderful, but I fail at the moment to get it running under init.d. Probably it will be because I did not set the paths in the script correctly, but I am under Linux or with me under Debian Stretch even more than a beginner. Would it be possible to help me with this?

    Below the messages if I want to start the service

    • Gilles van den Hoven Okay i solved the problem by myself.

      The Problem was, that the init.d Script is written under Windows and Line 1 can´t be read by my Debian System. I solved it with the command 

      dos2unix ziggo-horizon
