I've been able to accomplish my goal by putting all of my music into the "UPnP Controller Playback Queue", setting it to shuffle, and playing the "Playback Stream Capture" on the PS3. The only issue is the PS3 doesn't reflect the artist/title/album of the song currently playing. I don't know if this is a limitation of the PS3, UPnP, or the plugin.

When I try to stream certain songs the stream stops at the end of that song instead of continuing to the next song in the play list. The PS3 provides the extremely helpful: A network error occurred (80710723)

Here's what shows up in the UPnP log from the time I start playing the song until after the song has stopped.

Any ideas?

Thanks for that. I have not been able to find settings that will enable my WD HD TV Live to play both MP3 and FLAC in native form. In fact, I get one or the other to play, just skips over whichever is not going to play. The tip that ReplayGain enabled affects the stream might apply here.

In the default profile (provided you do not have created a custom profile for your WD Live), in the PCM decode section, you should set it to "always" and in the list of extension exceptions, have mp3 and flac listed (so they do not get decoded to PCM). By default, flac is not in the list of exceptions for this profile because most renderers are not able to play flac (and thus it must be decoded to PCM).

I am getting a NPT_CHECK failed error that I believe is preventing the uPnP server from starting:

Indeed. It shoudn't fail. Do you have any non standard network configuration (virtual network cards, vpn interfaces, ...) ? What is the output of command ipconfig /all ?

Yes, I have VirtualBox (3.1.6) installed.

Could you try to disable the VirtualBox interface so it doesn't get listed by ipconfig, and tell me if it fixes the problem ?
If it doesn't, I'll send you a test plugin to have more info on the bind error.

Hello bubbleguuum,
1.

My whole collection is tagged with genre and style tags.
These Tags usually have multiple values.

Genre : Electronic; Rock
Style : Alternative Rock; Industrial

Now I have set a custom SubTree = Style:
<spec type="object.container.genre.musicGenre">%style%</spec>

But for my example this won't create 2 seperate branches.
Instead it is shown like this: Alternative Rock, Industrial ...
resulting in a very long list of styles.

For the genre tag with multiple values everything seems to work fine automatically.

2.

When listening to compilations (%album artist% = Various) my PlayStation 3 doesn't show the actual %artist%
for the track currently playing.

$if([$meta(album artist)],%artist% - )%title%

No idea and the log do not indicate any error. And I've long stopped trying to make sense of Sony undocumented error codes...

0.99.23
---------

This version reset the configuration file to defaults

- if the XML configuration file cannot be loaded on launch, display an error in a popup
- implemented proper abortability in most worker threads. Should address a few potential but rare deadlocks (mostly on stopping the server), and possible long time to stop some threads
- reorganized preferences pages
- server: fix: rare possible crash if exiting foobar2000 while the server was indexing the Media Library
- server: fix: app freeze (deadlock) if restart server while Playback Stream Capture is playing
- server: fix: handle %<...>% notation in foo_upnp_media_tree.xml. Useful for %<genre>% (was hardcoded previously), %<style>%, ...
- server: chg: removed hardcoded limitation to 48Khz max for LPCM. Now higer samplerates are allowed but this is not strictly compliant with the DLNA LPCM profile.
- server: new: when serving a file, always display info in the console (samplerate, bitdepth, codec, etc...). Useful for debugging profiles.
- server: chg: removed dithering option in streaming profiles. Dithering is always off, like foobar2000 default.
- server: new: configurable replaygain settings and DSP chain per streaming profile. A file transcoded as MP3 is applied DSP / RG (if active). Otherwise file is streamed as PCM with DSP / RG applied. DSP / RG changes are applied immediately to the playing stream (if streamed file is already playing as PCM or MP3 transcode). Resampler DSPs and DSPs modifying channel count should not be used, as the plugin already apply them as needed.
- server: new: a streaming profile can now play DTS encapsulated in a container (FLAC, WAV) using foo_input_dts as a DSP, and HDCD using foo_dsp_hdcd (played as 24 bit if max bitdepth allows).
- server: new: configurable Playback Stream Capture codec/samplerate/bitdeph per streaming profile. PSC can now also be streamed as mp3.
- server: fix: Playback Stream Capture was not working with some renderers (at least the Oppo BDP-83)
- server: new: ability to enable or disable "Playlist",  "Media Library", "Playback Stream Capture"  nodes
- server: fix: different streaming profiles were used at browse time and streaming time when using a Control Point (for playing audio to a different device than the CP): at browse time the CP profile was used while when streaming the Renderer profile was used. Now the CP profile is always used.
- server: fix: Linn DS can now play mp3 transcodes generated by the server
- server: new: the Default streaming profile can now easily be used for all the content streamed by the server. 
- server: fix: WMP12 "Play To" would give an error when trying  to play an item from foo_upnp Server to any renderer (used to work, regression from an unknown version).
- controller: chg: Linn DS Playlist and Radio sources: Clicking the PL button forces a refresh of the playlist content.
- controller: fix: Linn DS Radio Source: now display radio stream metadata in UPnP Controller status bar for non-preset radio streams
- controller: new: Linn DS: added standby button 
- controller: chg: display track technical info in status bar (codec/bitrate/samplerate).
- browser: chg: View->Add remote foobar2000 server do not require a password anymore to allow connecting to a remote internet Jamcast server (requires Jamacast 1.1 or greater)
- renderer: fix: list audio/L16 (aka LPCM) as supported format (needed for WMP12 to accept to push it)

Hi,
thanks for adding the %<...>% notation. However, the values seem to be split by spaces as well, so that items tagged with "Modern Classical", for example, end up listed seperately as "Modern" and "Classical".

I have just downloaded and installed it and have been figuring out how to get it to work with my Roku M1000 box and flac library. I am having a problem with the Roku attempting to play a playlist. It can download the content of the playlist properly but it can't play a track or get the song info from a playlist entry. The same tracks play just fine when selecting them through the media library instead of a playlist.

Hey bubbleguuum, I posted a while back saying that when I used this to stream music to my PS3 that it would keep skipping. I thought that my problem was that my laptop was too outdated. Anyway I recently got a new laptop and it's still doing it... With this new laptop, I'm using Win7 x64, fb2k v1.0.2.1 and v0.99.23 of your plugin. I have both my laptop and my PS3 connected to my router via ethernet. Even if I set the playback output to 48 KHz on my PS3 it still stutters a bit.

When I stream music to it using Win7's native media server capabilities, it plays smoothly. I looked at the file information it even displays the files as MP3 (rather than LPCM) and the correct bitrate, but unfortunately it doesn't display the tags since Windows still doesn't support ID3v2.4. I don't know what it is about my setup that's causing it to skip/stutter when I stream stuff to my PS3. Here's a log file that I captured when I tried to play one song:

http://pastebin.com/yDjTURjG

I left it to play the song for about a minute and I set the log level to ALL. I really hope you take the time to look into this. Your plugin is great since I use it to stream my music to another fb2k client over the internet. If in the event that you don't find anything wrong, I guess the only thing I can rule out is my router.

Not sure what is wrong with Roku and playlists as there's not much difference with the ML. See first post to record a log (INFO level) and send it to me. So if I understand correctly, you can list individual songs of a playlist but can't play them, right ?

Bugfix version 0.99.23.1 released (first post to download):

Yes, that is correct. The playlist comes down to the Roku correctly but when I select any entry and try to show song info I get the error "Failed to load song info" or play it I get the error "Unable to play song". I have logged the playlist browse, the get song info and the play actions. How do I send the debug files to you?

I have a Roku Soundbridge, and I used to have the same problem until version 0.99.23. My library is all mp3.
