[QUOTE="henso, post: 896059, member: 119106"] I have been trying to continue working on this, but I have found a few problems: 1. BOM (Byte Order Mask) is used on UTF8 encoding used by UPnPServer:HandleHTTPRequest_Nolock streamwriter. The BOM will cause errors on many clients that use a text based parser. As I understand it the BOM is unnecessary for UTF8 anyway and it can be avoid by by doing: encoding = UTF8Encoding(false); 2. Not possible to add additional namespaces to the root device description in DvDevice:BuildRootDeviceDescription. This is necessary to fully support Samsung DLNA used on the TV. 3. To support different DLNA TV clients at once it is sometimes necessary to have different device descriptors depending on the requirements of the client. This is currently not possible if I understand the code correctly. 4. To make it possible to detect what kind of client (XBox, PS3, TV etc.) is connecting it is sometimes needed to know the device descriptor of the client. Is this currently possible? Or do we need a way to do a M-SEARCH over UPnP to detect it? Other times the HTTP header is needed but this I already have access to I believe. 5. Also when streaming the file using SendWholeFile I have a problem stopping the streaming when the client disconnects. I see no way to detect that the client disconnected. Any suggestions? I am a beginner when it comes to programming for MediaPortal so I apologize for any stupid questions. ;) Also I have no experience with UPnP or DLNA, so I need to learn on the go if necessary...
