OpenLounge uPnP MediaServer

Can the UPNP protocol support 2 way communication. The coolest thing about the MVP is not that you can stream items, but that you can Schedule Recordings (via gbpvr) for true PVR functionality.

Can this be done through this technology?

From the answer from MrMario64 in another thread, I get the feeling that even if we get a donation of two devices to the team, they don't want to spend the time.

I would love to chip in if I knew there would be real work towards supporting the device.

Any thoughts anyone?

I am working on a library to support the generic use of the Media MVP, written in C#.net.
Basically, I currently use gbpvr, but am getting annoyed at how slow things take to get added as features because it isn't open source, and I can't work out why it skips frames sometimes and looses sync.

Currently the library can get graphics onto the MVP, so it shouldn't be too long before it's ready to be integrated into things like MP. When I have an initially working version I'll let people know.

I hava a request for this nice plugin, that I would like to see further development on.

Playlists created in Windows Media Player uses relative file names, but this UPnP server only understands absolute file names. Would it be possible to make this plugin accept both absolute and relative file names?

And once again, I really like what you are doing.

Any new dev on this??

I'm about ready to drop Snapstream :? in favor of this solution. However as I have 3 other PC's running the Snapstream client in various rooms of the house.. I just wanted to know
1. Feedback from anyone who has used this plugin
2. will this eventually or does it currently support Live TV streams
and
3. what are the bandwith requirements

Cheers

Hi
I have unzipped the files into my media portal folder, but every time I try to run the setup in the configuration utility, get an error message:
Could not load type AMS.Profile.Xml from assembly core

Any ideas??

Its because one of the devs recently changed the namespaces (the names that refer to particular sections of code) from AMS.Profile.Xml, to MediaPortal.Settings.Xml or something like that. You'll either need to buzz BionicDonkey and ask him to re-compile it for the new version, or do it yourself (if you have the right tools available).

update in first post

Hi, I installed the OpenLounge Media Server plugin, but I cannot configure it, as when I load the MP config, Plugins, and click Setup for the OL MS, I get an unhandled exception error. All the other plugins work OK, as well as MP itself. Any ideas?

Media Portal - Setup
  An unhandled exception has occured in your application.  If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.  If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.

Method not found: System.Object MediaPortal.Profile.Xml.GetValue(System.String, System.String).

Details:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Can I just ask a question on this D-Link DSM-320RD?

Am I right in thinking, I can put this little box upstairs in my bedroom connected up to my TV, have my Media Center PC downstairs running MP with this pluggin, & stream music from the PC to this box?

How does the D-Link box communicate with the PC e.g. How do I select an album or track or DVD to view?

This sounds really really interesting & just what I was after.

I installled MediaPortal 0.1.3 & the updated Version (MediaServer.20050617.rar) of uPNP OpenLounge plugin. When I try to call the Setup-Dialog, I get this exception:

Method not found: System.Object MediaPortal.Profile.Xml.GetValue(System.String, System.String).

I guess this is just a minor problem because of the new version of MediaPortal. Could you please fix this, bionicdonkey? :wink:

And I also have a very important question: Is this plugin capable of streaming the currently selected tv channel :?: :?: :?:

Thanks
