Fix some Bugs
Use http ressource when an item had many ressources

[DrO]

i'm not too sure what this is meant to display on first loading or if things need to be manually edited but i'm just getting a blank view in the media library after installing this and going to the 'network devices' tree entry. this is after trying on my XP SP3 x86 and Win7 x64 installs.

also why is there a .NET requirement when i cannot see any .NET related dependency with the plug-in dll or is it something external of the plug-in requiring it?

If I understand, you want a UPnP MediaServer that provides media library information to UPnP-clients on the network....

[siam6606]

OK.. The option 'play to' is in developpement....

[jldaureil]

hi Cédric, and others

I've just discovered this discussion.
It's a very good news that someone develop an Upnp server / control point for winamp.
I've a very cool device for this kind of features : a Naim Uniti (http://www.naimaudio.com/hifi-products/range/6)
I'm a long time user of Winamp and I had recently look to find a good UPnp server and almost Control point to drive my Uniti as this important feature seems to miss in my favorite media player.

There is a lot of discussion in the Naim community about this. And I've recently reported a bug found with their Uniti and Upnp control points (http://forums.naimaudio.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8772903417/m/9842922437)
As you can see Naim Rd is responsive and interested to support developers...
Actually Linn (the brother of Naim) seems to be a little more better in this specific area (hardware controlled by Upnp control point software.

I will try to install you plugin in the computer on my home network to see what I can do with...

If needed I can help to testing this plugin with Naim Uniti.

Let me know if you are interested by email my at jldaureil[at]alicepro[dot]fr (also in french)

avec tous mes encouragements...

UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint plug-in v0.6

* Winamp become a Media Render ???
* Winamp become a Media Server ???

[MrSinatra]

wow, very cool. i'm not home, but i'll try it asap.

if you look in the slim thread, there's talk of intel reference software that i think you can use to emulate devices/hardware. i'm sure andrewfg would be willing to help!

[mynameisnobody]

This plugin sounds very interesting for me!:up:
unfortunately the v0.6 dont run here, v0.5 does.
Any idea why?
What are your future plans for it?

A UPNP-Client-Plugin for Winamp I've been looking so much time.

v0.6 dont run here, too! mynameisnobody: "the v0.6 dont run here, v0.5 does."

is it posible to cache the results from each Media-Server, and do a Refresh in background? (it takes up to 5or more minutes to recive all the Mediaentrys by each Entry (Genre, Artist, ..., & sometimes Winamp crash) - ("mp3 share cache"-plugin do it for Network-Shares)

it would be very nice, to see the Mediafiles in the same way as in the local media view. (Searching, sorting, by tabs, displaying covers,...)

Hi,

The ml_upnp project is not die, but I must found time to develop it....

Me too. I want to "Play to" my WD Live.

Me too, v0.6 does not load.

harry from berlin

Yes, what he said.:up:

[jldaureil]

actually the plugin V0.5 run here (not the v0.6)
That work as a client but NOT a server
I don't see any control point functions, but I can missed something...

This is really a wonderfull project for winamp....
When all Winamp user will understand this can transform their winamp as a full music server on any renderer, I think there will be a lot of people interrested!

[harry_berlin]

That work as a client but NOT a server


YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! this Pluginn calls "UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint plug-in"
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! "UPnP MediaServer plug-in"

I use Winamp since 1999 - Winamp is my prefered Media-Player. :)

Nowadays there are so many opportunities to run a UPNP streaming server on the network.
Since XP with WMP11, there is the possibility of media data on the network to make available, as a service.
Constantly running locally established, central memory, (NAS, WHS, Router, etc.) with media streaming capabilities, gaining in popularity.

It would be important if Winamp finally gets access to this media-service.
Media server functionality is not (never) necessary for a Player/client like Winamp.

harry from berlin

[siam6606]

Yes!!! it's not a good idea to Winamp become à Media Server (see post just up)


is it posible to cache the results from each Media-Server, and do a Refresh in background? (it takes up to 5or more minutes to recive all the Mediaentrys by each Entry (Genre, Artist, ..., & sometimes Winamp crash) - ("mp3 share cache"-plugin do it for Network-Shares)

I'm developping a new plugin with database and asynchronous refresh


it would be very nice, to see the Mediafiles in the same way as in the local media view. (Searching, sorting, by tabs, displaying covers,...)


Yes, with the new developpement, it become more easy....

I hope to proposed a new version this next week. (The 'play to' command will be remove for a couple of time)

[mynameisnobody]

I'm with you, a complete Mediaserver isnt necessary, but one thing would really great for me, (if its possible) to stream the current playing song(playlist).
So I could make a playlist in winamp, and play it on my dlna device(LG BD570) in the livingroom.
Hope its understandable :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! "UPnP MediaServer/DLNA plug-in"
Use WMP as DLNA-Server (or TwonkyMedia Server; Wild Media Server; FreeNAS/FUPPES, TVersity, etc.)

make only ONE place (PC(Server)/NAS or equal), store all your Media-Files (playlist) in!

Share(SMB) / stream(UPNP(DLNA)) to all other WMC/WMP/PS3/TV(DLNA)/Media-Straming-Clients(Asus O!Play, Sonos Zp 90 ZonePlayer, etc.).

Winamp may got this feature soon, if this plugin here comes real.:D

Sync Handys/MP3-Player and all other from only ONE Storage.
It is much easier to manage and maintain the various media data in a central location.

Does anyone know if the DLNA specs are available anywhere? They seem to be
non-public which is a shame, but there are several open source projects that
seem to have implemented it somehow.

UPnP MediaServer ControlPoint plug-in v0.7

* Remove "Play to" function (for the moment) :(
* Add Dialog Box to scan the MediaServer at the first use and insert item in database.


TODO :

* I must implement a scan in background
* Add view like ml plugin
* Fix a bug when you cancel the scan
* Use nde.dll

TIPS :
If you want re scan the device, remove the directory 'ml_upnp' in plugins repertory...

The zip contains the nded.dll (it must be add to the winamp directory) and the plugin ml_upnp.

[prann]

Can't get 0.7 to work. It does not show in the Media Library tree or the list of ML_ plugins.
Hoping you can get the play-to thing going.

[DrO]

prann: it won't work as it's been built as a debug version and you're unlikely to have the required dependent CRT dlls needed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

* Use nde.dllideally there needs to be a newer release of the nde sdk / files so that you can build a version which will use it without having something which will probably overwrite the existing nde.dll in the user's install and then cause more issues by being an outdated implementation (there have been a number of changes from what i remember from the last version released).

though, is there really a need for you to be using it instead of using the relevant apis from ml.h ?

either you install the VS2008 CRT debug redistributable files or wait for siam6606 to recompile it in a release mode (though you'd still potentially have to install the standard VS2008 CRT redistributable).

I have create my own database, I think I can't use the the ML_IPC_DB_ message from ml.h... but may be there is an alternative?

[DrO]

ah, custom db. yeah the ML_IPC_* won't be of much use then as it's only designed to query the ml_local db. so would really need an updated version of the nde files released or at least the respective library file (not something i can really do i think) so it's possible to link to nde.dll without having to mess around making custom compiles (have had enough headache with other plug-ins installing older versions of distro dlls and newer client releases so something really that needs to be avoided).

[DrO]

siam6606: unless they install the debug crt files i don't think they're ever going to be able to provide the log files you're looking for.

-daz

[siam6606]

Normally, the file builds up itself in the init of the plugin...
I think to add Message Box to know the problem

[DrO]

MFC90D.DLL and MSVCR90D.DLL (as referenced by the v0.7 of the dll) are not standard dlls on a machine unless you're developing using the same platform (VS2008 based on those versions) and without them Winamp won't even load the dll as the LoadLibrary(..) call made on it will fail and so init(..) will never be touched (or anything else in the plug-in).

the best thing if you want to have a debug version is to statically link to the crt which will give a bigger dll size but will save people grief so you can still get more information in crash dumps, etc.

-daz

[siam6606]

Arfff :)
Ok, thx daz.

You can see if the plugin is good initialised in the dialog box 'preference'.

u should include a link to this thread in that box too, and consider using english.

Hello,

This plugin doesn't load in winamp, I understand it is a debug version does that mean I need to wait for a release before I can use it?

Tried to get this working using TVMOBiLi (http://www.tvmobili.com/download.php) (a fairly lightweight, free server) today with no luck. What UPnP/DLNA media servers are known to be compatible?

I for one think if it were possible to build basic server functionality into the plugin that would be ideal (similar to iTunes DAAP Library Sharing) and would save people messing around with all sorts of different server software.

Thanks for the hard work regardless!

Sorry not to propose a new version of the plugin before.
I had a lot of work and the hard drive of my computer crash (sources lost).

does that mean this is dead now and you aren't going to develop it anymore?

you might want to check out "google code" b/c all your work would be saved there and you wouldn't lose it when you have a crash.

It would also be really nice if the layout of the contents could mirror the database of tracks in the main one.

Thanks for all of your work on this! I've been waiting for Winamp to implement this forever!

Might I make a small suggestion? Add your latest updates to the first post of this thread, so that people don't have to go through the entire thread if they just want to download your latest build.

Obviously, we'll still need to read through the thread for various issues that others find, but it would still be nice to have the latest build in the first post.

How to get this working? Im new into winamp? Just put the files in plugin folder or name a folder for it in plugin and put it there?

[ESP2012]

Hi, I have just found this thread over lunch and am hoping the plug-in will be a success. I have both a Naim Uniti and Logitech Squeezebox Touch on my home LAN, waiting for Winamp to 'speak' to them. I've been struggling to get JRiver to quickly and consistently find the two devices and also my music library on NAS without much success. So I really hope this works.
It took me a while to puzzle out what to do with the zipped dll file that I downloaded, but simply opening the IZArc file and dragging the plug-in to \Winamp\plugins worked. The utility is listed under Options-Preferences-Plugins-Media Library.
Now all I have to do is go home and see what happens next.

[MrSinatra]

afaik, squeezebox devices (the hardware) do NOT support DLNA. so i don't know how you would get the touch to work with it? thru the server somehow?

also see my link in this thread and/or search the winamp forums, as there are a few dlna plugins by now i think.
