ml_dlna

[Mr. S]

I know that there ist already an upnp plugin (ml_upnp), but this is not really helpful. ml_upnp is a good plugin, but I can't understand the frensh text and I don't want that endless searching process.

Now, I created my own plugin ml_dlna to list my music from a Buffalo LinkStation Live. Feel free to test it.

Name: ml_dlna
Version: 1.0.0.1

Required: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

Hello Mr S.

I tried your plugin but it doesn't load . I'm running winamp 5.601 on a windows 7 x64 DELL. I'd like to have the "play to" functionality as in WMP 12. I can help with testing if you'd like

Thanks

[Mr. S]

Hello human705.

Did you install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)? Even if you have a x64 system you need the x86 package. I have no problems with my own plugin on Win7 x64. Btw, the plugin is a UPnP client and not a streaming server (play to).

You plugin is good, but it does not handle utf-8 correctly.
DLNA (at least miniDLNA) sends all text utf-8 encoded. With Latin characters it's no problem, as their utf-8 representation is equal to ASCII, but for Cyrillic or other non-Latin characters it matters. Now they are showing with broken encoding.
Please, fix it or release a source so I can do this.

Thanks.

[Mr. S]

Thanks for your comment. I'll fix it asap. Can you do me a favour and upload a testfile somewhere? You can use a one-click-hoster for example. Please send me the link in a private message. I'll implement a few code improvements, too.

Wow, you fast. I even have not managed to reply.
Thanks, new version is better, but not 100% correct.
It shows unicode properly, but items, added to Winamp's playlist, still have wrong encoding.
Here is a screenshot: http://magister.ipsys.net/files/ml_d...g_encoding.jpg

P.S. Do you still need a test file?

And one more question. Is it possible to add items to current playlist, not replacing it?

[Mr. S]

I have a few points on my TODO list:

• Database to cache the slow search
• Language API to localize the ui
• Context menue to "add" the tracks to the current playlist or "replace" the current playlist
• Different lists for video, audio and pictures
• Unicode correction for the playlist

And yes, I still need a test file, because I don't have cyrillic keys on my latin keyboard.

Thanks man!

Your work is much appreciated.

Btw utf8 cyrlic files work for me both in ML and playlist.

No album art?

Great plugin to my favorite music player :-), just found it, tested it and it works.

Just one minor shortfall or am I missing some setting in Winamp here?
I am not able to get the album art for any music (mp3 with folder.jpg in each folder).

I tested it with WMP in the same setup and it works - it does work as well with my
old WM6 phone but it does not show any album art with Winamp 5.622 the
ml_dnla plugin and bento skin. Now it is either the plugin I guess or I am missing
some setting I have not yet found.

Any comment ?

Unfortunately the link never works. Message is always "All of our free-download capacities are exhausted currently" (i.e. pay for a premium account if you want to download!)

I registered in this forum just to say thank you..

There is a couple of things that I wish to see in the next update:
1-Artwork view
2-A context menu for the browser to customize a column view and to add more options for sorting the content.

Thank you, again.
