/cgi-bin/getServices?ref=..

ref=0 shows program list structure, from there you can derive codes for other queries like:

ref=2:47:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:/hdd/ lists contents of the HDD root directory
ref=1:15:fffffffe:12:ffffffff:0:0:0:0:0: lists all TV services

With this command in combination with "zapto" and "getMultiEPG" you could read out much of the information you need to write your own WebIF commander

/cgi-bin/record

/cgi-bin/recoverRecordings

/cgi-bin/reloadNetworks

reload satellites.xml transponder list from var/etc into enigma (dir depending on Dreambox model). It is similar with the other reload commands. Before the Dreambox will use them (after FTP upload), they must be reloaded.

/cgi-bin/reloadRecordings

/cgi-bin/reloadSettings

/cgi-bin/reloadTimerList

/cgi-bin/reloadUserBouquets

/cgi-bin/rm

removeFile

/cgi-bin/setAudio

/cgi-bin/setStreamingServiceRef?sref=

/cgi-bin/setVideo?position=1..20

/cgi-bin/startPlugin

/cgi-bin/status

Streaminfo-Screen in HTML

/cgi-bin/stop

for video playback

/cgi-bin/stopPlugin

/cgi-bin/streaminfo

/cgi-bin/switchService?anykey=sid:namespace:tsid:onid:type

/cgi-bin/videocontrol?command=stop

only for recording, other command: pause

/cgi-bin/xmessage?caption=...&body=...&timeout=10

send message, timeout in seconds, 0=no timeout

/cgi-bin/zapTo

look here

/changeTimerEvent

/channavi

/channels/getcurrent

/cleanupTimerList

/clearTimerList

/control/channellist

/control/getonidsid

funny blend of SID (service ID) and ONID (Original Network ID). Example: returned value is decimal 81424 (in Hex 13E10h) when SID=10h and ONID=13Eh

/control/message?msg=hallo

send or remove message

/control/zapto?getpids

returns video and audio PID

/data

/deleteTimerEvent

/editTimerEvent

/EPGDetails

/getcurrentepg?type=extended

/getcurrentepg2

/getMultiEPG?ref=4097:7:0:dbe00:0:0:0:0:0:0:%2fvar%2ftuxbox%2fconfig%2fenigma%2fuserbouquet%2edbe00%2etv

see cgi-bin/getServices for the ref codes

/leftnavi?mode=control, shows various web-screens

/leftnavi?mode=zap

/leftnavi?mode=help

/leftnavi?mode=updates

/msgWindow

/pda

loads WebIF for small resolution

/satFinder?frequency(KHz):symbolrate(S/s):pol:FEC:position(deg*10):2:

displays SNR/AGC/BER values in a browser table together with green LED bars and checkboxes for LOCK and SYNC
if no parameters are given, the table appears but the transponder won't change
it would be logical if the tuner could be set to any transponder frequency and symbol rate like:
/satFinder?11097000:22000000:1:4:192:2:
for pol and FEC see Satellites XML structure, last value could be "use BAT", always 2
when you look at /body?mode=controlSatFinder you find the parameters (in the source and in the Satfinder Window URL), but if you enter the URL directly, transponder will not change. Any clues?

/selectAudio

/selectSubChannel

/setAudio

/setVideo

/setVolume?

/showAddTimerEventWindow

/showEditTimerEventWindow

/showRemoteControl

displays a virtual remote control in the web browser with all buttons clickable.

/TVBrowserTimerEvent

/tvMessageWindow

returns current OSD message

/version

the answer is: enigma. /body?mode=help is more informative

/video.m3u

M3U file containing video and audio stram URL for direct access. The result is like: http://192.168.3.99:31339/0,PMT,VideoPID,AudioPID,alternative Audio PIDs example: http://DreamboxIP:port/0,0a8c,0a29,0a2a,0a2b You can open such a stream with any media player which has its codecs configured correctly. VLC player is recommended. While streaming, the Dreambox won't be able to change the transponder.

/videodata

found in other documentattion but didn't work in my WebIF:

/blank
/body?mode=configRotor
/body?mode=controlTimerList 
/body?mode=updates
/body?mode=updatesInternet
/header
