Why not?
But keep in mind that widget is using MediaBox icons.

This would be great, yes!

So it looks like the D-Bus interface is kinda working. :D
What features are missing that you need from the interface? I thought about providing coverart as base64-encoded PNG string, e.g.

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

Partly. All signals are working, but D-Bus introspection and methods seem to be broken.

Track info :) A way to get it :)
And a kind of signal, when track changes (e.g. switching other in playlist), or add track info to existing signals (e.g. to 'play' signal).
Coverart can just be provided as a filename, e.g. it can be loaded from thumbnails dir and cached in widget. But it's not that important at the moment :)

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

Coverart doesn't always exist as file. Sometimes it's embedded in the file or stream.

Re: MediaBox Media Center 0.96 with UPnP and more
 

I forgot about that :) In that case base64 is really reasonable...
Btw, while adding seekbar component I found you're multipling pos and total by 1000... I have to devide it by 1000, after receiving the signal ;)

Can anyone help me have MB connect with my music on my PC? I expected that it would automatically find any networked collection I have, but the "Storage and Network" folder only shows my N900 filesystem, nothing more

I have turned on UPnP in my Windows XP machine, and I have had Windows Media Player 11 scan my music library. In the Options/Library/Media Sharing setup box, the N900 does not show up as a choosable shareable device for WMP11.

Has anyone else had problems with this? What am I overlooking? It seems such a simle thing, to have MB find my network connection - there are certainly no configurable options available in MB, so it should be sort of automatic, no?

I have had no trouble connecting my N900 to anything else in my network - WIFI, VNC, and rDesktop all work well for me. I have even transferred files from the PC to the N900 over WIFI using rDesktop.

What am I missing? I really want streaming access to my PC's media library. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help. I too tried that, and it just cycled forever, never starting or connecting.

I ended up being pointed to this metalist
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UPnP_AV_MediaServers
of UPnP servers on Wikipedia from a comment made on a N900 blog about UPnP on the N900 (useless blog, that one).

I am really glad I found that! There are so many disparate links on UPnP on Wikipedia, this server list is not one that shows up readily when seraching.

Anyway, I went for one of the generic freeware software apps, and - it worked! So I do have access to my PC's media library through NB now (no thanks to Winblows XP).

I'm not sure if I'll stay with the on I'm using, it's really generic and a little old, but at least I know I can make it work.
