I have tried upnp  controller to control denons. I can "send" music to them from server, stop,pause, and play. Volume control does not work.

How can i assign individual playlists for all media players which are in the network? What i like to do is to play one playlist at one room(denon 1), and another playlist at

I'm new to this, so forgive me if I'm a bit ignorant.

I've had foobar (1.1) working fine for some time, and installed the latest UPnP plugin yesterday.  I have got the browser working, connecting via Whitebear to my Squeezebox Server, and the controller controls my Logitech Touch with no problem.  So far so very good indeed.

What I want to do next is get my Humax PVR (HDR Fox T2) to use foobar as a media server.  The Humax seems a little difficult (I've had difficulty with several different servers), and only plays mp3s, but I got it working with Tversity.  With foobar and this plugin I can see all the files (mp3s and flacs), and see playlists, but when I attempt to play them nothing happens.  It then usually skips to the next track after 10-20 seconds, still playing nothing.  It can see the track title, time, album art, and so on, so there is some communication happening.  I have also tried with tracks accessed directly via foobar from its own library.

Any ideas?

I have looked at the streaming preferences and am struggling to understand the different sections 'Rendering capabilities', 'transcoding to MP3' (does this require a separate LAME exe, and if so where do I put it?), 'decoding to PCM' and 'playback stream capture'.  I don't quite grasp what each of these sections is for.  Is there a description somewhere?  If not, could someone write a few words explaining what each section is about?

How can be the sent playlists sorted? Because in upnp client the playlists aren't look like the host foobar playlists (on host it's sorted by track number per album, but in client it's sorted only by track number, so i se the first tracks of all albumbs, then the second tracks...), and the "sort items sent to playlist by" checkbox does nothing.

Unfortunately, when I select an album from mediatomb in the UPnP browser, I am provided with a track list populated with Artist/album, Track no, Title / Track artist, Duration, and Date only.  So the tracks come across ordered as Disc 1 Track 1, Disc 2 Track 1, Disc 3 Track 1, ...  It appears that only when I manually select one of the tracks for playback does the disc number for that track get loaded.  After preloading them in this fashion I can re-sort the playlist by clicking the "Track no" column header and foobar2000 displays them in the correct order in the playlist (Disc 1 Track 1 -> X, Disc 2 Track 1 -> Y).  Therefore for these multi-CD albums I have to manually preload each individual track to get the disc number field populated and play them back straight through.  This is quite burdensome as I have some classical symphony sets of 10 CDs or more, which I am forced to manually preload 100s of tracks or hunt and peck to listen to them in the proper order.  Is it possible to make the UPnP browser automatically populate the disc number in the playlist when albums are selected?

I would like to use the upnp controller to push songs to SMCWAA-G renderers. I have a few of these and use them all the time with your upnp server and they work perfectly. These renderers do not appear on the Upnp Controller dropdown list.

I'm new to this, so forgive me if I'm a bit ignorant.

I know I'm being dumb, but I'd really like to understand the meaning of the streaming preferences.  For instance, I understand transcoding to MP3 (at least in principle) but what is the section on decoding to PCM for, or playback stream capture?  When are they used as opposed to converting to MP3? Is there somewhere I can go to find out?

And bubbleguuum - did my last log arrive?

The problem with your renderer is that it issues unusual (but valid)  HTTP requests that are not supported by foo_upnp, when transcoding to mp3 (namely http range requests and HEAD requests). I'm not surprised you had problems with other servers.
You really want to find out if it supports anything other than mp3 (for example WAV or LPCM). To check what it supports, look at the "Renderer properties" popup that you can display in the Controller, in the menu (...) => "Renderer properties...".  If it supports only mp3 you're out of luck. You should be able to  stream unmodified mp3 files but not transcode other formats to mp3 (for the reason described above). It it supports either WAV or LPCM then you'll be able to configure the streaming profile to stream in one of these formats.

"decoding to PCM" is used to stream audio as PCM (WAV or LPCM) when a renderer do not support a particular codec (say FLAC) and you don't want to transcode to mp3 not to degrade audio quality. Most renderers support either WAV or LPCM or both.  Transcoding to mp3 is mostly useful to stream via the Internet.

Thanks very much - I think I'm a bit closer to some understanding of it now.  I'll give it a go.

So I can't see the Humax 'renderer' properties via the controller, or am I missing something?

I don't see what the 'decoding to PCM' section is for.  Does it only do something if not always transcoding to MP3?

1. Pause the stream from the T+A music player has no effect. I run foobar2000 v.1.1.5 and foo_upnp 0.99.32. Here's a snippet from the log file (start stream, attempt pause, stop stream):

[I posted this before to  3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) dirctly. Probably this topic is the right place...]
2. I can use the default streaming profile only. I added a profile where "Use profile when 'User-Agent' contain 'TA music player'" but still the default streaming profile is used. I unchecked "Always use the Default streaming profile for all devices" in the Basic Settings. 'TA music player' is the device name as shown in the UPnP-Controller view of foobar.

[If you can't see the Humax then it is not a Renderer remotely controllable.
As for understanding how the Streaming profile page, rules are applied from top to bottom:

Should the file be transcoded to mp3 ?
no => should the file be decoded to PCM ?
no => the file is streamed unmodified.

So to try out if your renderer accept PCM, configure the profile to stream everything as PCM:
- disable mp3 transcoding: set "transcode" to "Never", leave "Except extensions" to empty
- enable pcm decoding: set "Decode" to "Always", leave "Except" to empty.

First try WAV then if it doesn't work try LPCM.

After initiating play from your Humax, check in the foobar2000 console that the plugin serves the correct format, for example:

foo_upnp: opened 'file://C:\Users\bob\Downloads\Dan Curtin - Lifeblood\Dan Curtin - Lifeblood\02. Dan Curtin - Invisible Man In Drag.flac' for streaming, profile: Linn DS, WAV / 44100 Hz / 16 bits / 2 channels, replaygain: off, DSP chain: off

Do you mean the T+A continue playing the stream ? Or that it stops playuing audio but when you unpause it doesn't work as you expect ?

Hi, I am trying to use foo_upnp through an SSH tunnel. I enabled SSH on my router and I verified my settings by successfully connecting to a VNC server. When using the UPNP Browser through the tunnel, I am able to view my media collection without any problems on my remote machine. However, once I select a track and press play I get the following error in Foobar:

Unable to open item for playback (Could not connect to host):
"http://192.168.0.143:443/content/4d2790e195a4934f35d4265a86faf5a6.flac"

Has anyone been able to use foo_upnp through an SSH tunnel? Thanks!

Is your SSH tunnel operating over the Internet ?
If the case, foo_upnp cannot detect properly that the connection is from the Internet and
instead of using your router public IP (for streaming URLs) uses the LAN IP of the PC running the server, which of course cannot be seen
from your foobar2000 browsing client.
For this scenario to work, I'd have to override the IP of the streaming URL in the client, when accessing an Internet foo_upnp server

Hello, this is bit hard to explain so I hope I am doing it a way that is understandable.

Using 0.99.32;

Issue -

HDCD encoded FLAC's [ripped from HDCD CD's]:  Cut off/stop at the control point at approx. 70-85% into a track, then the next track begins playing.
This also happens with 0.99.31.  I do not have version 0.99.29 to test but issue does not occur with 0.99.26 [it works fine]. Non HDCD encoded flacs are fine.

Thanks

Tried 0.99.28 and that one is also good. Which means issue was first introduced after that version.
