DLNA Experience

[Ludek]

Hello guys,

I tried to access MediaMonkey's DLNA server with my Sony Ericson Hazel today - no luck. After a long time searching it finally finds MediaMonkey Server but when trying to connect a "Unknown error" message appears. Don't know how to debug this stuff. The phone does not appear in MM4s connection history (Settings->media sharing->MediaMonkey Server->UPnP/DLNA server). So I guess there is something basically wrong. I use MM4 with default DLNA settings on a Windows 7 x64. No changes made.

Windows MediaPlayer's DLNA-Server can be accessed by the Sony Ericson Hazel without any problem.

Please try with this UPnP.dll: http://happymonkeying.com/beta/Sony/UPnP.dll
(just replace current UPnP.dll in your install folder by the new one)

Is there a way to specify in which order tracks appear on the client? When browsing on my PS3, my albums do not appear in order by track number nor filename. They seem to be in some random order (although it is a consistent order, as another player, my Synology Audio Station, lists them in the same order as the PS3). Is this something I have to set in my collection? Or something in the UPNP Server Options page that I missed?

I'm having real problems in 1345 with DLNA communication to my Samsung UN55C8000 TV. I think I have it narrowed down. There are 101,863 tracks in my library. I have asked from the TV to display the available tracks playlist. Time passes and the TV says there was an error. Not too helpful. A wireshark log of the Ethernet packets shows the server was unhappy and closed the connection.

In packet 52353 the TV requests of the server
SOAPACTION: "urn:schemas-upnp-org:service:ContentDirectory:1#X_GetFeatureList"\r\n
in packet 52356 MM responds with
HTTP/1.0 500 Internal Server Error\r\n
Server: Windows NT/5.0 UPnP/1.0, DLNADOC/1.50 Platinum/0.6.4.0\r\n
Ext: \r\n
Connection: close\r\n

A debug log shows that the UPnP thread was also unhappy

I'm kinda new here. How do I get this issue looked into?

thanks

1346 is working with Sony KDL-xxEX700. Thank you so much. Now on the fly conversion from MP4 to MPEG-II and I'll be very happy.

[A User]

Please try with this UPnP.dll: http://happymonkeying.com/beta/Sony/UPnP.dll
(just replace current UPnP.dll in your install folder by the new one)

Installed 1346 and your UPnP.dll some minutes ago. Now the Sony Ericson Hazel finds MM4 in less than a second and browsing and playing music works like a charm. Video-Streaming I didn't test, right now.

Thanks a lot.

I'm having real problems in 1345 with DLNA communication to my Samsung UN55C8000 TV. I think I have it narrowed down.

Thank you for the info, it was very helpful, the Samsung issue is tracked here: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=7261

Please replace your current UPnP.dll (located in MM install folder) by this one http://happymonkeying.com/beta/UPnP.dll and give a try.
If it still doesn't work then generate debug log, please.

Thanks! I re-compiled the DLL, it should work with this: http://happymonkeying.com/beta/UPnP.dll

[Lowlander]

I re-compiled the DLL, it should work with this

For me it didn't work with the Samsung UN-**c5000.

Martin, from the log you emailed me I see you haven't use the re-compiled DLL, but the one from 1346?

[Teknojnky]

can anyone recommend a good, free, non-crippled ANDROID client that works with MM UPNP ? even better if it works over 3g/4g

[phosphor]

Thanks! I re-compiled the DLL, it should work with this: http://happymonkeying.com/beta/UPnP.dll

New dll works for me on my Samsung LCD TV - LN46C650 and my Samsung Blu Ray - BD-C5500

Question, no more lifetime licenses I guess ?

If I'm running the beta in addition to my licensed copy ( different computers ), do I need a second license?

Is it possible to buy a license for 4 yet then?

Checking out DLNA in MM4. I have MM4 1349 installed alongside MM3 on Win7 x64. My media library is on local HD. Network environment is Win 7 x64 running WMP12 / 7MC and Denon 3311ci AVR.

I installed MM4/1349 and set up the DLNA server. I can see the WMP12 server on the other PC and can search library there and play media. However, the MM4 server is a problem. I can see the MM4 server on both the other PC WMP12 and the Denon 3311ci. WMP12 on the PC shows the MM4 server but when I try to access the library I get "no files found". On the Denon 3311ci it just says "not authorized". Looking at the options window for the MM4 server I have access control "share automatically" checked, there is a listing for the Win 7 /WMP12 machine but nothing for the Denon. On the Upnp/DLNA server tab the Win 7 PC is also there and requested file is "root directory".

Unfortunately I'm a noob on DLNA so not sure how to t/s this issue.

The newest last.fm plugin should work with tracks played trough the UPNP/DLNA server. While playing works fine, the tracks are anot scrobbled to last.fm. I tried two tracks, both way longer than 30 seconds, but both are not scrobbled. This is the log:

Media Monkey 1351 / Last.fm 1.0.2.24. Playing the tracks from the server with a PS3.

On the Upnp/DLNA server tab the Win 7 PC is also there and requested file is "root directory".

Update: i installed 1351 and had same results (Denon showed MM4 server as "not authorized"). I was trying different things, and finally on the UPnP Servers node right clicked and saw options in the popup context menu so selected that and went to "Manage collections & Nodes" which opened up the options window with Library -> Media Tree selected. So I checked the "Entire Library" checkbox which was unchecked (not sure, but I think when I first installed 1349 I had unchecked some things as the DENON only handles audio and pictures not video so I thought it made sense to limit it?). Anyway, once I checked that entire library box the Denon was able to connect and show my MM4 library so it's working. FWIW in the "access control" window it is showing the DENON as "KnOS/3.2bridgeCo-DMP/3.0 DLNADOC/1.50 INTEL_NMPR/2.0".
