Description: UPnP/DLNA Plugin for Video Disk Recorder This Plugins extends the VDR with the possibility to act as an UPnP/DLNA Media Server (DMS). It will serve VDR's contents in the network to any UPnP-AV and DLNA capable devices. The plugin requires a valid network connection with a IPv4 address. It will find its settings automatically by default. In this case, the first network device in the network device list with a valid IPv4 address and port 49152 will be used for connections. You can change this behavior either by setting the command line options or by editing the setup via the VDRs setup page. The command line options have a higher priority and substitute the menu settings. The command line settings are: -i --int= The server network interface e.g: eth0, wlan1 etc. If given option '-a' must be absent. -a
--address=
The server IPv4 address. If given option '-i' must be absent. -p --port= The server port Supported ports: 0 (auto detect) 49152-65535 (user defined) -d --autodetect Force auto detection Use this option to overwrite the setup menu options. -v --verbose Increase verbosity level The more v options the higher the output level --dbdir= The directory in which the metadata database is stored --httpdir= The directory where the http documents are located The verbose option can be more than once. With each option the verbosity level will be increased. The maximum level is 5. Further options are silently ignored. -v Print most important messages -vv Print messages from the components i.e. the webserver, CDS, CMS, etc. -vvv Print messages from receivers and players and other additional components -vvvv You can't get enough, hum? This will print SQL messages and DIDL messages -vvvvv Can you read the matrix? You can't? Then try first reading SQL statements, fetches, buffer and parser outputs or any other outputs. If not options are set, menu options will be used. The server has a unique identifier, which is "uuid:b120ba52-d88d-4500-9b64-888971d83fd3". Other devices in the network can find and identify the VDR UPnP Server with this ID. However, the server should be found automatically and being listed under the supported media server devices. If not, please report this as a bug on the project homepage or send an email to the developers of this plugin with the full device description and, if applicable, the errors thrown by the media player device and/or the server. Dependencies: This plugin is tested with and requires the following libraries to work: libupnp-1.6.6 The UPnP SDK libsqlite-3.6 SQLite 3 Database libavcodec-svn20090303 FFMPEG Library for analyzing audio video codecs libavformat-svn20090303 FFMPEG Library for analyzing audio video formats boost::spirit Grammar parser boost::function Boost function library boost::bind Boost bind library The boost libraries are usually available in a packed version, so that only a single installation is required. The FFMPEG libraries comes with FFMPEG itself. ATTENTION: DO NOT USE ANOTHER VERSION OF LIBUPNP. libupnp-1.8.0 is known not to work with this plugin! Versions below 1.6.6 may work. However, there may exist some unknown issues. If you want to know everything about the code, please see the source code documentation at http://upnp.vdr-developer.org/docs/ where all public members are explained. I appreciate, if you help making the plugin better. If you find any project related errors or missing features, please open a new ticket at the plugin website with a detailed description of what you want or what happened. Patching the libupnp: If you have a DLNA compliant device such as TVs or streaming clients, you may require a patched version of libupnp. You can download the patch on the project website.
