UPnP / DLNA Media Server for MediaPortal 2 (2 Viewers)

[FreakyJ]

Okay, the CONTENT_DIRECTORY_SERVICE_ID & CONNECTION_MANAGER_SERVICE_ID are definitely wrong!
If I try it with my two UPnP apps on my mobile it doesn't find the server (tried it several times).
If I change it to: ConnectionManager && ConnectionManager it works!
The FritzBox uses: "urn:upnp-org:serviceId:ConnectionManager" && "urn:..." and this leads to the fact that it also works with MP2. So I would go with the second way because the FritzBox developer knows it probably the best and it is working

I already pushed the changes, hope this is fine for you at least my mobile and VLC now detect the UPnP server

I will try it more deeply this evening, as you see I couldn't wait until evening

another note: the shares don't get listed yet, but hadn't a look on it why yet.
I have pictures and series imported, maybe I will also import some music file later on

Thanks, this was caused by my change yesterday. I moved the DlnaAspect back to optional MIAs.

I also fixed ffmpeg parsing during import and some NREs. I can now playback MP3 audio inside WMP. VLC doesn't find MP2-Server. BubbleUPnP finds MP2, but cannot browse audio yet.

I'll rework the ffmpeg execution as next (using the newer version from VideoThumbnailer)

VLC doesn't find MP2-Server. BubbleUPnP finds MP2, but cannot browse audio yet.

The problem with VLC is that it requests the whole folder structure and not only the structure which is needed to view the root dir. So if your media lib is big this will take a lot of time

Also it looks like our upnp lib doesn't probably handle the client broadcast which initiates the "hi I'm here" message from the server". All other UPnP devices are found much much faster which leads to the fact that the server isn't found by our Tv.

Shares view works here, pictures are getting listed but don't show up
I have to get a log viewer to check the log while doing the requests

 

[FreakyJ]

yeah makes sense that the shares stuff doesn't work, there is no <res [...]>[..]</res>

@morpheus_xx
Do you also get this exception in the logs?

[morpheus_xx]

Yes, I am working on this part

 

[FreakyJ]

Perfect!

MP3 including covers work already very well inside WMP! @McGoober did a good job there!

Also it looks like our upnp lib doesn't probably handle the client broadcast which initiates the "hi I'm here" message from the server". All other UPnP devices are found much much faster which leads to the fact that the server isn't found by our Tv.

Yes, there is probably room for improvements inside the UPnP library. Not sure what the cause is...

yep covers are working well
But the actual resource not:

<res bitrate="0" bitsPerSample="0" colorDepth="0" nrAudioChannels="0" protocolInfo="null" sampleFrequency="0" size="0">null</res>

This is because of

var dlnaProtocolInfo = DlnaProtocolInfoFactory.GetProfileInfo(Item);
      if (dlnaProtocolInfo == null)
        return;
      ProtocolInfo = dlnaProtocolInfo.ToString();

returning null. I don't know the dlna spec and therefore not what it should do inside the ProtocolInfo factory^^ But if you comment this you get an uri
