I recommend running wireshark on the UPnP server machine to capture the traffic. The interesting part is the SOAP and other XML stuff going over the net.

Christ. You would think that when someone repeats that they refuse to support a person, he/she would get the idea or be increasingly polite about it. But the fact is, being increasingly jerky totally makes developers listen to you.

That obviously was a lie.

You, obviously, have an innate reading and comprehension disorder, like to troll around here trying to stir up trouble, and are often rude, dismissive, and misleading when you post.

Have we covered everything, or did you have a hidden question regarding the Canola UPnP plug-in somewhere in your snipe post?

Your sig says that you've been Canola-free, briand. Congradulations!
No.
Yes.
Perhaps.

Because of how it works, the upnp plugin will fail for seemingly no reason. Root of the problem is actually briand. If you launch the upnp plugin after reading one of his lame posts, it will lock up Canola. Also, you won't be able to close it from the task switcher thing. No matter how many times you hit that 'x', it won't close. Don't fret, as you can kill -9 it.

Sorry to have to report this. Understand that it's my duty to do so. Call it a mistake on the developer's part, as this (probably) isn't supposed to happen. kill -9 will get you out if it freezes. S'all.

Hei guys,
I don't want to moderate the thread by flames, I have been involved into this one already and it got anywhere. So please let focus on the bugs, it's working better now but it needs so much more work.

Navi : so it's not doing videos under ORB?

Briand : if you got back to canola, did it worked with your mythTV setup?

Hi Marcelo,

I've just run the update and I've still go the issue involving not seeing folder contents after playback of a file. I can browse my media list play a file, but then when I navigate back to choose a file form a different folder, there is nothing lists in the contents.

All works fine using MediaStreamer.
Still using ushare as the server.

Any thoughts, or do you think this is a compatability issue with ushare ?

Thanks

Stu

Nope, Orb is working perfectly. I just can't get audio to show up with fuppes and video (and long music lists) to work with mediatomb.

I'd like to see a progress meter next to the little busy arrow that chases its tail while Canola does something time consuming. The arrow is a good clue that I have to wait. Alas, I'm impatient and I want to know that Canola is really doing something instead of spinning madly in a loop.

I thought of this while playing with Canola and its UPNP support with my TwonkyMedia server. As I sat watching the little busy arrow chase its tail while Canola obtained the names of the 400-odd albums in my collection, I thought it would be nice if I could tell how far along Canola was in the process.

Progress meter only make sense Tal, if you have a solid information of the end of your action. Example: you asked for a file, and you know in the beginning that it's a 100mbb file. Than you can do a progress meter. The spinning or a progress bar animated(but with no real meaning to the state of the bar.. the famous animated bar) is the same thing we just choose the simpler visually speaking.

So, twonky if it's sending small pieces, doesn't tell us how much lists there are there. Giving user feeedback (meaninful) it's a personal dream (as designer) but not always possible : / and the worst (sometimes is not related to canola -but there are a couple of places where we will improve it)

Hello. I have been reading this forum for a while, but I have never posted. I hope someone can direct me to be able to install the latest Canola beta on my N800 (Chinook), so that I can try out the UPNP.

If I try to update my Canola2 install, it fails claiming a dependency on liblightmediascanner0. I have not been able to find a version of this that will install on canook. Can someone please direct me to how I can get this updated, and install the UPNP plugin to test it out.

I will admit that I hope to use this with my MythTV backend. I will try to avoid getting into any of the battles going on in this forum over MythTV. Just some info concerning the latest MythTV UPNP. I can easily access the MythTV UPNP server from my PS3. I can access and stream any recordings and most videos. The one issue that I have seen with recent MythTV (which is likely on the MythTV end), is that they only have 1 or 2 levels down for a shared directory structure. So, basically, if you have a videos folder that is being shared out with subfolders (ex. HomeMovies, TV, etc). It will show all videos at the root directory level as well as show all the folders, but if I try to browse down into one of the folders, it says that there are no videos available. Though I don't know it for a fact, I do believe that MythTV is pretty close (if not direct) in supporting the UPNP standard, since the PS3 UPNP support would never have explicitly put in support for MythTV directly (outside of installing Linux on the PS3).

The main thing for me is: Can someone help with the latest Canola (and UPNP plugin) install on an N800 with chinook? Many thanks.
