<div><div style="font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><div>Hi all,</div><div><br></div><div>I have noticed there isn't much activity on the UPNP server inside mythbackend recently, so I have been working on it for my own home network. I was particularly interested in getting it working with Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7).</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have started the work and have got quite a few patches to submit now. Here is what I have done so far:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Fixed the problem with videos/music appearing multiple times in WMP12</div>
<div>2. Added code to detected the Upnp client and pass that though to the upnp handlers</div><div>3. Make Recorded programs appear under "Recorded TV" for WMP12</div><div>4. Minor bug-fixes around the http server.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I can submit these patches, and I don't
think they are particularly controversial. I am currently testing with WMP12 (Windows 7), WMP11 (Windows Vista/XP), XBox and XBMC. I don't have a PS3, so I will leave that to someone else!</div><div><br></div><div>
There appears to be some problems with the Xbox code, but I will work on that.</div><div><br></div><div>However, here is the big change I have made for my own network, and I think it should be a change for trunk:</div><div>
<br></div><div>5. Drop the use of the upnpmedia table, and associated file scanning class. Use the videometadata table instead.</div><div><br></div><div>Currently the upnp server scans the video folders and adds the data to the upnpmedia table. It then serves the upnp data from there. This isn't very intuitive and I believe it should actually serve the same data as mythvideo. This makes it easier for the end-user as they simply use the mythvideo interface they know and love
and the upnp video will be the same as that in under Media Library on the frontend. Using the videometadata table means we can serve the coverart, actors, description, run-time etc. easily and there is an existing interface to edit/download the meta-data.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This would be a big change in the way the upnp server handles the video directories.</div><div><br></div><div>What do those in the know think? I have made the changes for my network, as it is something I require anyway. I doubt we would upset many people making this change as I believe Upnp is a bit hit and miss at the moment, and it would be nice to make it work properly.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Matt.</div><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div></div>
