EDIT: for track lengths not being displayed when using LPCM, this is true for the PS3 info OSD displayed when playing a track. Length is displayed when browsing tracks.
There's indeed a regression in the last version with the length not being displayed anymore on the browse screens when streaming as LPCM.

I tested PS3 multi-output with a different monitor and analog output at the same time. Used 44.1 kHz output and everything works well including DSP chain. So it seems like I just had a weird bug before.
Time of the track during playback is not displayed but it is not something i care about  .

Is it possible to run an html based mediaserver with internet connection with this plugin?
I want to expose my media library to the internet, so that people can browse and play the files they want in their webbrowser.

If that is possible, is there a tutorial or something how to set that up?
The very act of observing, influences what happens.

I have a Linn Majik (cara 6) and with latest version installed on the server and on the client I do not get displayed anymore which song is playing.

The UPNp controller shows stopped but music is actually playing. As well on the playlist overview no indication is shown which song is being played:

Is this a setting I must change?

The only way to browse and play from the server from the Internet is to use foobar2000 with this plugin as a client, or an iPhone/iTouch with PlugPlayer.
There's no web interface. Only the foobar2000 playback stream is playable from a browser with a special URL.

Suprising...I have no such issue with my Sekrit DS-I. You can record a log with INFO level (see first post for instructions).

May I suggest that you add a Playlist Switcher panel to your layout (shown in the upper left corner below) ? This will make identification of the displayed playlist easier since the UPnP Browser send items to 2 supporting playlists (unless you changed it) : The UPnP Browser Selection playlist and the UPnP Browser Search  playlist:

Hi.  Just discovered this fantastic plugin.  My playlists are managed externally.  Will this serve the changes?

Firstly: I would've lost my mind at work long ago were it not for this incredible plugin. Thanks so much!

Feature Request:
The UPNP plugin properly handles cover art when the art is embedded in the file being played, but does not seem to relay cover art stored in a separate file (per fb2k's Preferences -> "Display" -> "Album art" -> "Front cover" -> "Search patterns:"). For example, if I have a track with embedded cover art, this art shows up correctly in fb2k, PlugPlayer, and in remote fb2k sessions; if I have a track without embedded art, but have a "cover.jpg" file in the same directory, the art shows up in the local fb2k instance (foobar itself handles this correctly), but is not relayed to PlugPlayer or remote fb2k sessions by UPNP.

Is there any way we could get the UPNP plugin to show *all* cover art, per the fb2k settings above?

Again, thanks so much for the plugin.

Not yet. This is something that I want to implement though. For now, once a node is browsed, its remains static until you restart the server.

Thanks for making me notice: I now use the fb 1.0 album art API and it takes into account file patterns.

Ta.  So if I restart the server then my external playlists get updated?

Hi

Bit puzzled as after a while (half an hour-ish) my Roku Soundbridge fails to find the server whereas my Sony Ericsson ELM manages no problem.  A restart of the server (or occasionally the PC) usually cures it.  Any suggestions as to what I should be looking for as a cause.  Or is there some special config I have missed.

Yes, but you'll also have to browse again on the client

It's probably failing when the Roku try to resubscribe to the Media Server events. This happens every 30mins. Record a log with INFO level for more than 30min and send it to me (bubbleguuum@free.fr). See first post for instructions on how to record a log.

I'm afraid It doesn't seem to want to create a log file.  I ticked "log to file" and applied and foo_upnp.log appears nowhere on my PC (according to everywhere).

Сделайте, чтобы при первом запуске плеера серверы: foobar2000 Media Server и foobar2000 Renderer - были остановлены.
И еще: при закрытии окна плеера задержка. Нужно, чтобы не было задержки.

Hi.  I decided to remove foobar and re-install.  It seems to be working fine now.  Have to say I am really impressed.  This is by far the fastest and most usefull upnp server I have used so far.  Even managed to get it running with Foobar as a service so I can set and forget.  Well done and thanks.  Just now need it to monitor my external playlists automatically :-)

Hello,

the Roku Soundbridges I tried to buy off fleabay end up costing something like ~100€. I thought I might as well look into a new Philips Streamium Device. Does anyone have experience with a NP2500 or 1100? Can I use the Playback Stream Capture Feature with the Philips?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
B.

I can confirme the plugin works with the 1100 since a long time, and the 2500 should be supported, at least using next version which include support specific to streamium hardware.

About the devices by themselves, they are very counter intuitive, and You might be disapointed if you plan on doing anything else than searching your library using foobar. Their on board interface is less than user friendly, and believe me, I've started working with interfaces before they where even user oriented, so I'm not a touch-friendly-non-nonsense-interface junky ;-). Just entering your WEP key is a pain (imagine entering it with a mobile phone keyboard, with no delete key, and you have to reenter it all if you miss a key. That's just the beggining...

I have a question. I convert all my music to vbr v4 mp3 (including already 320kbps mp3s), but i can't seem to use the seekbar, it's grayed out, is there a reason this behaviour is there?

When you transcode to MP3 you cannot seek, this is to be expected. Transcode to MP3 is really to be meant to be used for streaming over the internet or for the rare device that would not suppport PCM.

HI Bubbleguuum,

Did you make progress on the issue we discussed? The version you send me is working correctly.

HI Bubbleguuum,

That should answer your question  :

0.99.26 released  (first post to download):


Code: [Select]
0.99.26

The default sort string mentionned below is: "%album artist%|$if($not($meta(album artist)),%date%)|%album%|%discnumber%|%tracknumber%|%title%"

- server: fully threaded startup (could block fb2k for some seconds on launch, if huge collection on slow PC)
- server: fix: rare crashes in abnormal conditions
- server: fix: rare Plaback Stream Capture crash
- server: fix: Internet pref page: populate ip/hostname field only with a non LAN ip, if found
- server: new: use fb 1.0 album art API to be able to serve album art using configured file patterns
- server: new: playback statistics (playcount, etc...) are now submitted by default when a track has been streamed 100% (requires foo_playcount).
This can be enabled/disabled globally in the Server / Content pref page (default: enabled).
Submitting playback statistics can be disabled per profile with the <allow_submit_stats> tag.
Submitting statistics is disabled for the WMP profile as WMP do some kind of full file buffering.
- server: chg: dithering is now alway enabled when decoding to PCM or MP3, for all profiles. Dithering can be disabled manually in the XML conf (<dithering> tag)
- server: chg: search results are now returned sorted, using the default sort string
- server: new: search in PlugPlayer browse screens is now available (will return albums matching a string).
- server: new: single nodes containing tracks can now be specified with custom sort order:
ex: <SubTree label="Aciiiid Tracks" query="genre IS Acid" sort="%tracknumber%|%title%"/>
if sort is omitted, the default sort string is used.
- server: fix (regression): track lengths not displayed on PS3 browse screens

- browser: in configuration, ability to specify the sort titleformat string for all upnp items sent to playlist, including results from search.
This allow to override the server's sort order. This replaces the old "use sort incoming files by" setting which was not working since a few versions.
- browser: new: search on non-foobar2000 UPnP Media Servers that are search capable:
    * simple string search will return tracks containing the searched string in any of the tags the server supports (like fb2k simple search)
    * very limited support for foobar style queries:   <tag> IS|HAS <value> (ex: genre IS acid)
    * the tags that the selected Media Server supports can be displayed with the "?" button

    search results are sorted using the default sort string, as server sort order is too inconsistent with most servers.

- controller: fix: rare crash when a renderer disappears from the network
- controller: new: icon buttons, new play PSC button. Removed Shuffle / Standby / Mute buttons, still accessible via menu Playback>UPnP Controller or context menu in Controller (right click on status bar)
- controller: chg: when changing the selected renderer, do not automatically show  the Controller Playback Queue playlist if the renderer is not playback capable.
- controller: chg: do not select automatically the first available renderer on UPnP Controller launch or on current renderer disappearance (this could stop the currently playing source on Linn DS).
- controller: chg: UPnP AV renderers:  use polling instead of eventing to get player state. More reliable with some dodgy renderers.
- controller: add: added option <return_buggy_track_length> in streaming profile. Set to "yes" for renderers returning wrong track length such as the Philips WAC7500, and use cached track length instead.
- controller: fix: when sending items to WMP renderer, the Default profile was always used instead of the WMP profile
- controller: fix: removing a playlist before the UPnP Controller playlist would make all renderers other than the renderer selected pickup items in the wrong playlist
- controller: fix: the renderer state could in rare cases not be notified due and eventing subscription bug (the controller wouldn't display track metadata / time)
- controller:  Linn DS:
    * on controller start, do no stop the playing Source
    * external Playlist/RadioTime Sources modifications are immediately reflected in the Controller playlist
    * the Radio source now display elapsed time.
    * Non preset radio stream metadata is correctly displayed in status bar
    * Playback Stream Capture or UPnP items can be played by the Radio service to preserve the content of the Playlist source

Wow amazing playback statistics now sync after playback, that was one thing i was waiting for .  Would it be possible to show/change the rating of a file on the upnp client? Kinda miss the inability to see my ratings.
