mpTinoMediaServer beta (3 Viewers)

It seems like Media Player 11 supports the UPNP, but it doesn't work with this plugin.

I can see the device, but there are no valid content inside.

I would love to see full blown uPnP implemented.

Are you using the Intel .Net UPnP.dll stack or p/invoke / wrappered C++ one ?

The C# stack original came with the Code Generator but no longer seems to be included. Don't know it it's readily avialable any more. Doesn't have many C# examples and the syntax was a bit hard to follow to start with but I'm getting to grips with it and was planning on try to build a MediaServer v1.0 for MP music as a test of my skills ( not the best coder in the world) ... could join you guys if you need a hand...

Ahh.. just seen the zip file.. it is the .net dll... word of caution, there are some spelling mistakes in the MetaData dll class definitionsl (at leat the one i have) which throw errors on the methods for adding container items... think one was in the musicAlbum container (distributor or provider property I think)

Any source code you can share ?

Final post I promise... I think the reason WMP11 can't see this is the same reason the PS3 can't. They are DLNA defined upnp devices, so require a DLNA compliant upnp server... As far as I can tell, well for music anyway, this is implemented by adding some additional strings to http get i.e.

instead of
http-get:*:audio/mpeg3:*

it should be
http-get:*:audio/mpeg3: DLNA blah blah blah

I have the full string written down at home as I used it to write a test app for my PS3 from the Platinum C++ SDK. (worked fine after adding the extra clause, used to give invalid format errors before, never tried WMP11 though... was actually trying to get the album art to work )

Only MediaPlayer 11 on Vista can play Upnp

XP MediaPlayer 11 can only act as a Server.

You could try Ahead Nero ShowTime as this can browse Upnp

 

[piranha]

yes, I tried WMP 11 on Vista and it was no go.

 

[Flipit]

Just a quick update...

String for a DLNA mp3 is as follows:

"http-get:*:audio/mpegLNA.ORG_PN=MP3;DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_CI=0"

String for a jpeg is:

"http-get:*:image/jpegLNA.ORG_PN=JPEG_MED;DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_CI=0"


Flipit.

Hey, sorry I was on holiday.

Interesting info there Flipit, ill see and try to implement that addition to the string, but since we use the Intel UpnP dlls its all rather blackboxed.
I did noticed that the mediaplayer could not connect, but for me it cant even browse media, so I am not sure if it will ever play this as a UPnP client device. I will try to look into this though.
But time is limted and MpTino seems missing .

Help! I installed the plugin but when I try to configure it I get an Unhandled Exception error. See details below. I am using MP 2.2.0 stable version.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

I think you need to upgrade to a svn build of 0.2.2.0 it is only tested on later svn builds then the original 0.2.2.0 stable release and they changed some major stuff in there.

 

[Flipit]

Koah,

welcome back.. go anywhere nice ?

I started looking at a making a renderer for MP, the Intel Upnp side doesn't seem to bad... LastChange actions on the AvTranport and RenderControl service have thrown me a bit... took me for ever to figure out that the Intel device spy expects event xml as &lt;event... instead of <event... nice ... have to find a way of encoding that as a string from an xmlwriter.. little experience with that so all new to me..

I figure if I only expose the actions and state variables from a renderedevice(device builder) class as events and properties I can then write a plugin for MP using the exisiting g_player comands from the events and hide the upnp stuff on the renderdevice class itsef. Haven't go that far yet though... will take some time I'm thinking... I guess I'll need to write a control point as well, as so far I've been using the device spy to do all the actioning for me...

Yeah, I have been to Sweden, very nice indeed.

Mediaportal as UPnP renderer would be nice indeed.

One would always only want to use one server and all its devices as client, MP as client does make more sence, however my network and UPnP are a bit unstable, music doesnt play for hours and hours here, so I want MP always to us file shares, then everything goes fine. Else I would have prefered that setup also.
