For Serviio it manages to pick up podcasts via the online but I suppose they aren't a network live stream. Is it possible to write it so it ignores the 0-0 ?. (pushing my luck here I know). This will be common to all Humax boxes that support upnp.

A 0-0 request means the player wants a single byte (byte 0). The server can't ignore this. It will typically be followed by other range requests such as 0-1, 0-1024, 1024-, 1024-1000000, 1000000-2000000 and so on. This approach works for a file where byte "n" is always the same, but it doesn't work for a live network stream where byte "n" is changing all the time.

There is some room for improvement in making MinimStreamer detect this case and produce a clearer error message. I will add this in the next update.

Yes, this would be useful. Thanks!

The partner's got a Denon network player at a second property so I will be implementing Minimserver on a Raspberry Pi there were I tested it on my laptop at the weekend. I was hoping to get it working at both locations with a common solution. Thank you for looking at it and if you figured out a way round I would be grateful. (coming from the days of Fortran programming I thought a log file would be useful )

I understand your frustration. The UPnP standard should allow all these different components to "just work" together, but this is only partly true in practice.

Quote:PS I think as a newbie it wasn't allowing me to attach. Unlike the Serviio boards I see you answer users questions and issues promptly and update which is good.

I'm not aware that the forum puts any restrictions on newbies. If it does, I would like to disable these restrictions. Can you remember what happened when you tried to attach? Did you do a Browse/select first and then Add Attachment? If so, what part of this wasn't allowed?
