Description
I have attached my first diff (against SVN 9320) for uPnp support.
Installation:
There are 3 xml files that are used to describe the upnp devices/services in mythtv. A 'make install' will copy them to the same directory as the executables. In order for the application to know where the files are you MUST add a setting to the database:
upnpDescXmlPath = /usr/local/bin/
I'm sure there is a better way to handle this, and am open to suggestions.
Also, if you want to assign a friendly name to be displayed on upnp clients you can add this setting to the database (If it does not exist, it will build a default name with the hostname embedded in it.)
upnpFriendlyName = "MythTv?..."
Features / Limitations
1) Only Recorded programs are displayed on the client and I have not included groups yet.
2) I used a D-Link DSM-520 as the playback client when testing... I had to add device specific code for it not to treat MythTv? as a foreign server. (If an <mpeg file name>.idx file existing, then FF & FB work... I don't know how to create these files yet, I had to use videoi.exe on a windows machine to generate one)
3) The Connection Manager Service is NOT implemented yet.
4) uPnp Subscriptions & Events are not implemented yet.
5) All upnp & other methods can be accessed via SOAP, Form POST or by REST (query strings).
6) I have added a handful of methods that return XML (these were added before I started the upnp support... Some will be enhanced in the future to be more upnp like).
/ Same as getStatusHTML xml Same as getStatusXML getStatusHTML Returns the original HTML Status Page *** All of the following return XML *** getStatusXML Returns the current Status Data getProgramGuide Returns a subset of the program listings getHosts Returns a list of unique Hosts contained in the Setting table. getKeys Returns a list of unique Keys in the Setting Table getSetting Returns a Keys value putSetting Sets a Keys Value getChannelIcon Retrieves the channel Icon getRecorded Retrieves a list of Recorded Programs getPreviewImage Retrieves a recorded programs thumbnail image getRecording Retrieves a complete recorded video (*** Used for upnp playback)
